Reexamining Fire Suppression Impacts on Brushland Fire Regimes

Science, 1999
California shrubland wildfires are increasingly destructive, and it is widely held that the problem has been intensified by fire suppression, leading to larger, more intense wildfires. However, analysis of the California Statewide Fire History Database shows that, since 1910, fire frequency and area burned have not declined, and fire size has not ...

Application of fire suppression materials on suppression of LNG pool fires

Journal of Loss Prevention in the Process Industries, 2011
An LNG pool fire is considered one of the main hazards of LNG, together with LNG vapor dispersion. Suppression methods are designed to reduce the hazard exclusion zones, distance to reach radiant heat of 5 kW/m2, when an LNG pool fire is considered. For LNG vapor dispersion, the hazard exclusion zone is the distance travelled by the LNG vapor to reach ...

Fire Suppression Systems

SAE Technical Paper Series, 1979
<div class="htmlview paragraph">“Off the Road” vehicle fire losses are increasing each year. Larger units and increasing usage of electronics and high pressure-high temperature hydraulics combined with accumulations of combustible material increase their vulnerability to fires.

Metal hydride fires and fire suppression agents

Journal of Loss Prevention in the Process Industries, 2008
Most metal hydrides are pyrophoric and water-reactive. Summaries of metal hydride fire incidents are presented to illustrate ignition scenarios, threats to personnel and equipment, and fire suppression experiences. Met-L-X™, a sodium chloride-based, certified, Class D fire suppression agent, has successfully extinguished some metal hydride fires by ...

Fire Suppression with Inert Gas Agents

Journal of Fire Protection Engineering, 2001
Total flooding fire suppression tests of pure argon (IG-01) and an inert gas mixture (IG-541) were conducted in a 121 m 3 compartment with simulated electronic- cabinet fires, wood-crib fires, liquid-pool fires and spray fires. Both agents extinguished the test fires by reducing the oxygen concentration in the compartment.

Fire suppression by low-volatile chemically active fire suppressants using aerosol technology

Fire Safety Journal, 2012
Abstract Minimum extinguishing concentrations of mixtures of organophosphorus and iodine-containing compounds and inert diluents were measured using the cup-burner and cylinder techniques. The results of these measurements were used to develop and test new effective fire-suppression compositions whose components exhibit a synergetic effect and to ...

Fire Suppression System Specifications

2018
Fire protection specifications are extremely important documents-from the standpoint of both project performance and quality assurance. The fire protection specification tells the contractor exactly what the designer wants in the way of equipment, material, installation, and overall project quality.
