Suppression Effects

Recently, water has been employed as a supportive agent for the preparation of multiple suppressing agents including aqueous film forming foams (AFFF), which is combined with different kinds of gases for its various applications. In this study, the water mist is chosen for the gas-suppressing agent such as carbon dioxide. Our work investigated the suppression effects of water droplets on the n-heptane pool fire, and its mixture with carbon dioxide, respectively. The size and frequency of droplets with their effect on temperature and suppression was compared to observe the difference in the suppression. Initially, it was found that the droplets having a larger droplet size were found to be more efficient as compared to the smaller droplets with respect to the heat release rate, temperature, and radiation. Afterwards, a mixture of water droplets and carbon dioxide was simultaneously discharged to compare the difference between these two suppressing agents. It was found that the synergistic effect of the mixture has higher advantages over the use of only water suppression. It helps reduce the hot gases that surround the pool fire and allows the water mist to travel efficiently towards the fuel. Both suppression mechanisms were set to similar initial parameters that lead to different outcomes.

The objective of this work is to investigate the diesel analog pool fire with water mist .For this purpose, a series of water mist fire suppression experiment are carried out by changing the nozzle operating pressure, the source of fire power, opening and closing the exhaust fan to analyze the inhibitory effect of water mist to oil pool fire in the enclosed compartment of 5.0m × 5.0m × 3.0m. The results shows that extinguishing efficiency first increases and then decreases when the nozzle operating pressure increases from 8MPa to 12MPa, reaching the highest efficiency at 10MPa; increasing the power of the source of fire, the burning speed increases and the water mist fire extinguishing efficiency decreases; fresh oxygen coming in when smoke exhaust fan is turned on and water mist fire suppression efficiency decreases. Using FDS to simulate the water mist extinguishing oil pool fire, the predict temperature field and extinguishing time are basically consistent with the experimental results. In the actual applications of water mist fire suppression systems engineering, we can use the FDS field simulation methods to predict the characteristic parameters variation of the fire fighting fire temperature and component concentration, which is significant to the fire extinguishing system optimized design.

A new effervescent atomized water mist fire extinguishing equipment was developed by combining the characters of water mist and effervescent atomization. A series of wood crib and gasoline pool fire suppression experiments were performed using the equipment. The fire extinguishment time, temperature and radiation heat flux of the flame were measured, and then the process of putting out different type fire was analyzed. A wood crib fire of 0.6A can be put out in 180 seconds using water mist produced by effervescent atomization equipment. Only 38 seconds was taken to suppress a gasoline fire.
