Fire protection barrier
A fire protection barrier comprises a first layer and a second layer, the second layer being made form a sintered metal foam. In a preferred embodiment, the sintered metal foam may be copper foam. The first layer may be, for example, solid copper. The first layer may be bonded to the second layer by means of sintering, or alternatively, the layers may be held together by secondary fixing means such as screws or clips. A thermal interface material may be provided between the first and second layers which decomposes at a temperature below 1000°C to leave a thermal break between layers. The fire protection barrier which includes a metal foam layer is suitable for protecting components from fire, where the components generate heat and need to be passively cooled by convection in normal use. The barrier protects the component from large heat fluxes, whilst allowing small heat fluxes away from the component to prevent overheating.
