Hot Surface Ignition Tests of Aircraft Fluids

Abstract

Five fluids commonly found in aircraft engine components, JP-4 and JP-8 fuels, Mil-H-5606 and Mil-H-83282 hydraulic fluids and Mil-L-7808 lubricating oil, were tested in the Aircraft Engine Nacelle Fire Test simulator (AENFTS) to define their Minimum Hot Surface Ignition Temperature (MHSIT's) when introduced as a spray or stream onto a hot engine bleed duct. The test employed a simple, uncluttered test section and a realistically simulated portion of the F-16 engine compartment. MHSIT's for all but Mil-H-83282 were consistently found to be higher than the fluids autoignition temperature. Keywords: Combustion; Jet fuels.
