Automated Control of Shipboard Ventilation Systems: Phase 2. Part A. Test Results

Abstract

A ship's ventilation system is critical to some Damage Control (DC) situations. Smoke and heat management is critical in successful DC operations. Ventilation techniques employed by doctrine vary depending on the overall situation. Two fundamental principles define smoke and heat control: zone pressurization and air flow. Smoke ejection systems have been designed, but not automated into the Advanced Damage Control, Automation. This report describes an initial step in the automation of ventilation.
