GENERATING FIRE-PROOF CURTAINS BY EXPLOSION-PRODUCTION OF WATER AEROSOL AS AN ELEMENT OF FIRE-SAFETY ENGINEERING

Parameters of a fire-quenching system based on explosive water-aerosol production and spreading are presented. Such a system with correctly tailored amounts of the water and the explosive material produces water-aerosol with high fire-quenching efficiency due to the small radii of the droplets and at the same time secures that shock-wave pressures are safe for the human body at distances exceeding 30 m from the explosion axis.
