Abstract:
An automatic, smokeless ignition system for use in ship-space simulators for U. S. Navy fire-fighting schools was developed and two prototype systems were installed at the Norfolk Fleet Training Center. In principle, a measured amount of gasoline is injected over the surface of fuel oil and lighted with an electric spark while smoke-suppressing water is sprayed into the fire. In six weeks of operation the system has provided smokeless ignitions on a routine basis. One unsolved problem is fouling of spark plugs with oil sludge. Author
