Abstract

1498177 Tape-recorder casings SPERRY RAND Ltd 11 June 1975 [30 April 1974] 18786/74 Heading G5R [Also in Division F2] Apparatus, e.g. an aircraft data recorder (crash recorder), has thermal protection comprising an ablative material, i.e. a material which may be removed wholly or in part by evaporation, located in and/or around the apparatus in the form of, for example, a chemical salt having water of crystallization as part of its molecular structure. Suitable ablative materials include cupric sulphate, aluminium ammonium sulphate, chromic sulphate, sodium sulphite, chromic potassium sulphate, tetra sodium pyrophosphate, hydrated calcium peroxide, and tri basic sodium orthophosphate. In one particular embodiment, Fig. 1, a crash recorder 1 comprises a tape deck 2, an outer metal casing 3 providing the primary physical protection, and thermal insulation disposed between the casing 3 and the tape deck 2. The thermal insulation comprises inner and outer portions 4A, 4B, the gap 5 between which is 0À005 to 0À010 inch wide. Opposed sides 6, 6<SP>1</SP> of the tape deck 2 have respective cavities 7, 7<SP>1</SP> filled with an ablative material 8 in the form of crystals of cupric sulphate (CuSO 4 . 5H 2 O). Apertures 9, 91 formed in the respective sides 6, 6<SP>1</SP> of the tape deck 2 communicate with the associated cavity 7, 7<SP>1</SP>, the apertures receiving one end of associated metal tubes 11, 11<SP>1</SP> which pass through the inner thermal insulation 4A and terminate at the gap 5. Each aperture 9, 9<SP>1</SP> is sealed by a material 12, 12<SP>1</SP> having a m.p. of about 100‹ C., to prevent ingress of moisture to the cavities 7, 7<SP>1</SP>. A plurality of vent holes 13, 13<SP>1</SP> are provided in respective opposed ends 10, 10<SP>1</SP> of the casing 3. In the event of the crash recorder 1 being subjected to a fire, the tape deck 2 will eventually reach a temperature of 100‹ C. at which the seals 12, 121 melt so that the cavities 7, 71 are in direct communication with the tubes 11, 11<SP>1</SP>. As the temperature continues to rise, the water of crystallization of the cupric sulphate crystals 8 will start to be boiled off, at about 104‹ C., and steam will issue from the tubes 11, 11<SP>1</SP> and be directed by ducting strips (not shown) within the gap 5 to follow paths covering the entire internal surface of the outer insulation 4B before leaving the casing 3 via the vent holes 13, 13<SP>1</SP>.
