and lovely greetings from the Airbus A320 simulator

我現在人在德國埃森的TFC訓練中心

at the TFC Flight Training Centre here in Essen, Germany.

的A320模擬機裡面跟大家問好

This is another Airbus introduction video

這次又是一部關於空中巴士的介紹影片

and I'll be giving you a basic explanation of the A320 fire protection system.

我接下來會簡單介紹一下A320的火警偵測及滅火系統

So let's get started!

讓我們開始吧!

The aircraft fire protection system consists of a fire and overheat detection

飛機上的防火系統包含在每顆引擎和APU上的

and extinguishing system for both engines and the APU.

起火、過熱探測和滅火系統

Besides that, there is a smoke detection and extinguishing system

除此之外在貨艙和廁所裡

in the cargo compartments and the lavatories.

也有煙霧偵測和滅火系統

Plus, a smoke detector in the avionic bay

再加上航電設備艙裡的煙霧偵測器

and portable fire extinguishers for the cockpit and the cabin crew.

和駕駛艙和機組員用的手提式滅火器

So let's take a closer look at the fire extinguisher

接下來讓我們來仔細瞧瞧

and detection system in the engines and APU.

引擎和APU的滅火及偵測系統

Now each engine has two extinguisher bottles,

每顆引擎都有兩瓶滅火瓶

which electrically operate squibs to discharge their contents

藉由電路引爆裝置釋放內容物

and so does the APU, except that with only one,

APU也一模一樣，只是只有一瓶

has one extinguisher bottle.

飛行員可以透過頂部面板的

And the pilots control and discharge both systems

"引擎與APU火警面板"控制並釋放滅火器

with the engine and APU fire panel on the overhead panel.

這兩套系統都有"起火與過熱偵測系統"

So both systems have a fire and overheat detection system

包含兩套平行且完全相同的的A和B迴路

consisting of two identical fire detection loops, A and B,

安裝在火警偵測單元(FDU)上

mounted in parallel and a fire detection unit, a FDU.

每顆引擎的迴路有3~4個偵測元件

The loops consists of three to four sensing elements for each engine.

一個在派龍短艙

One in the pylon nacelle,

一個在引擎核心

one in the engine core,

另一個在扇葉區

and one in the fan section.

在APU艙還有一個的獨立的偵測單元

And one independent sensing unit in the APU compartment.

那麼火警警示甚麼時候會啟動?

So when is the fire warning triggered?

當任何迴路上的偵測器受到高溫

When any sensor on the loop is subject to heat,

就會發送訊號給火警偵測單元

it sends a signal to the fire detection unit

然後發出警訊[火警警鈴聲]

and then triggers the warning. [aural fire warning sounds]

或者當迴路A和B偵測到

Or as soon as loop A and B

溫度高達一個預定值的時後，警示系統也會啟動

detect a temperature at a preset level, the warning system is triggered.

如果兩個迴路在五秒內相繼壞掉

If both loops should break within five seconds,

系統預設判斷是火焰造成的

the system expects that both loops got damaged by flames

然後也會啟動警告系統

and also triggers the warning system.

為了防止一套系統壞掉

In case of one faulty loop,

另一套好的就會接手繼續保護飛機

the other operative one takes over and still protects the aircraft.

除此之外

Other than that,

如果飛機在地面時偵測到APU起火

if the system detects an APU fire while the aircraft is on the ground,

系統會自動關閉APU然後擊發滅火器

it shuts down the APU automatically and discharges the extinguishing agent.

OK接下來來看看在頂部面板

Okay, let's take close look at the fire switches

上半部的火警開關

on the upper level of the overhead panel.

按壓按鈕正常情況下是"壓下"的

The push button's normal position is IN and guarded by this red frame.

上面有一個紅色的框形保護裝置保護住按鈕

[aural fire warning sounds] Once a fire warning is triggered,

[警鈴聲]一旦火警警示啟動

the pilot opens the guard and pushes the button.

飛行員打開保護裝置然後按下按鈕

And as it pops out, it sends a electrical signal

按鈕會彈起來並發送電子訊號

that performs the following for the corresponding engine.

給對應的引擎並開始一系列的動作

First of all, it silenced the aural fire warning,

首先會停止火警警鈴聲

arms the fire extinguisher squibs,

使滅火瓶爆擊裝置待命

closes the low pressure fuel valve,

關閉低壓燃料閥

closes the hydraulic fire shutoff valve,

關閉液壓火警隔離閥

closes the engine bleed valve,

關閉引擎供氣閥

closes the pack flow control valve,

關閉空調控制閥

cuts off the FADEC power supply and deactivates the IDG,

關閉"全權數位引擎控制"(FADEC )的動力供給

the integrated drive unit driving the generator.

並且解除IDG

Next to fire push button are the two agent push buttons.

也就是集合驅動單元所驅動的發電機

So both buttons become active when the flight crew

在火警按鈕旁邊有兩顆作動按鈕

presses the engine fire push button for the affected engine

當飛行員按下起火的引擎的火警按鈕後

and a squib light comes up in white,

這兩顆按鈕就會待命

helping the flight computer identify which agent is now ready to be discharged.

上面會亮起白色的"爆擊裝置(squib)"字樣

A brief push on the button discharges the corresponding fire extinguisher

讓飛行電腦辨識哪一個裝置準備好擊發

and DISCH lights up amber when the fire extinguisher bottle

簡單地按一下按鈕會擊發對應的滅火瓶

is entirely empty, measured by its bottled pressure.

當滅火瓶的壓力表示瓶內已經完全空了

And then you have the TEST push button.

黃色的"釋放(DISCH )"燈號就會亮起

This button permits the flight crew

另外還有一顆測試按鈕

to test the operation of the fire detection

這顆按鈕讓組員能夠

and extinguishing system before each flight of the day.

在每次飛行前測試火警偵測及

When the flight crew presses it,

滅火系統是否正常運作

a continuous repetitive chime sounds,

在機組人員按下按鈕之後

the master warning lights starts flashing,

會響起持續的重複鈴響、

the engine fire warning appears on the lower ECAM,

主警示燈開始閃爍、

and now on the engine panel of the pedestal,

電子中央飛機監視系統(ECAM)下面出現引擎火警警示

the fire lights come on red.

最後在中央操控台的引擎面板上

To perform this test correctly you check that all necessary lights come on,

亮起紅色的"FIRE"

the procedure is shown on the ECAM, and that you cancel the aural warning

一套正確的檢查

by pressing the master warning push button.

你需要檢查所有的重要燈號有沒有亮

And the same procedure applies as you press the APU fire TEST button.

正確的程序有沒有顯示在ECAM上

Now in case of an APU fire,

最後再按下主警示按鈕來關掉警鈴聲

the pilot opens the guard and presses the APU push button.

同樣的程序也適用在APU的火警測試按鈕

And by the way, that's not the only way

萬一APU起火了

you can shut off the APU in case of a fire on ground.

飛行員打開保護然後按下APU的火警按鈕

There's an external APU panel below the cockpit

順道一提當飛機在地面時

near the ground power supply connector.

這不是唯一能關閉APU防止起火的方法

In case of a fire, a warning sound can be heard

在駕駛艙下方有一個外部的APU面板

and the ground personnel can discharge

就在地面電源接頭附近

the extinguisher bottle from below by pressing this button.

萬一起火，警鈴會響起

So that was it for today.

地勤人員可以從下面按這顆按鈕
