Suppression effects of powder suppressants on the explosions of oxyhydrogen gas

Journal of Loss Prevention in the Process Industries, 2006
Abstract Suppression tests of oxyhydrogen gas explosions were performed in an explosion tube with five types of dry powder used as the suppressants. The experimental results showed that the powder with large dust cloud density and small radius has better suppression effect, which agrees well with previous correlative results.

Suppressants for the control of industrial explosions

Journal of Loss Prevention in the Process Industries, 1996
Abstract Explosion suppression is now a well established means of mitigation against the consequences of a gas or dust explosion in industrial processing. Such systems were first deployed by Graviner Ltd (Maisey, H.R. Chem. Process Eng., March 1959) in the early 1950s following development of the technology for military purposes. The first industrial

Suppression of secondary explosions in transformer rooms

Journal de Physique IV (Proceedings), 2002
Large-scale explosion tests in a 50 m 3 room have been performed to simulate real transformer room explosions. The scale and the room layout were chosen as realistic as possible, with a moderate vent area. Prior to ignition hydrogen gas and transformer oil was sprayed into the room. Reference tests were carried out to investigate how gas concentration

Suppression of flame in explosive systems

Journal of Applied Chemistry, 1951
AbstractA method of preventing explosions in chemical manufacturing plants where inflammable bases or vapours are employed in the presence of air or oxygen is further elucidated and the principle extended to condensed explosives. The relative merits of various inhibitors in varying circumstances are reviewed and the conclusion drawn that the best ...

Dust explosions at elevated pressures and their suppression

Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part A: Journal of Power and Energy, 1999
Many of the advanced coal-based power generation technologies currently under development involve the pressurized handling and storage of feedstocks and residue. The handling of fine coal at atmospheric pressure has always presented problems associated with the risk of explosion. These problems are exacerbated at higher pressures.

Suppression of Maize Dust Explosions

1987
The results of a systematic series of maize (corn) dust explosion suppression trials in vessel volumes of 6.2, 10, and 25 m3 are presented. Tests are reported for explosions of both medium and high turbulence dust clouds. The four suppressants, Halon 1011, ammonium phosphate powder, water, and halon/powder hybrid, were tested.

Explosion Suppression Systems for Marine Applications

Offshore Technology Conference, 1976
ABSTRACT Coast Guard Research and Development Center tests of two explosion suppression systems conducted in the forward pump room (18,000 cu ft) of the T/V RHODE ISLAND are described. The experimental suppression systems were specifically designed for the space and fabricated from existing hardware and detection ...

Suppression of internal explosions in process plant

Journal of Occupational Accidents, 1979
Explosion suppression offers a compact and efficient method of protecting process equipment against possible internal explosions. However, the suppression systems currently available are limited in the types of processes for which they are effective.
