Field Demonstration of a Centrifugal Ultra High Pressure (UHP) P-19 (Database) (on DVD)

摘要

The Headquarters Air Force Civil Engineer Support Agency (HQ AFCESA) is finalizing the specifications for the next generation aircraft rescue and fire fighting vehicle for deployed locations. AFRL has proven that ultra high pressure (UHP) technology improves fire fighting efficiency more than 300 percent than conventional low pressure systems. Five P-19 fire trucks were modified with a new pumping system capable of producing UHP, compressed air foam (CAF) and CAF with dry chemical. Five bases with hydrocarbon training pits were chosen to participate including Dyess, Ellsworth, Mountain Home, Davis-Monthan and Tyndall. This technical note includes a database with all the data sheets and videos collected for each fire performed during field evaluations. The database can be searched to review the test details, such as weather conditions, as well as view the fires completed at the five bases. This information was used for the analysis provided in Technical Report AFRL-RX-TY-TR-2010-0033 (ADA521343) and is provided here as a reference.
