Suppression is probably one of the most complex processes associated with fire. Extinction of fires implies the understanding of heat and mass transfer in the solid and gas phase, as well as the concept of chemical inhibition of the combustion reactions. Only a brief summary of the different material parameters controlling extinction will be presented here. [Pg.70]

The authors deal at length with the various theories for the processes, leading to ignition and burning of polymers, as well as with the conditions leading to fire extinction after removal of the ignition source. [Pg.172]

In contrast to conventional fire extinction, reducing oxygen is a preventative type of fire protection. [Pg.155]

In contrast to conventional fire extinction, reducing oxygen is a preventative type of fire protection. The probability of a fire can be drastically reduced or even eliminated, since three things are always needed in order for a fire to start material energy, and oxygen [2]. [Pg.156]

Oxygen reduction is not a new means of fire protection. It is a principle that has been well known for years and is regularly used in industry [3-5]. In contrast to conventional fire extinction, which is only reactive to a fire and requires its detection, oxygen reduction is an active system of fire prevention. [Pg.156]

From the southern industrial zone of Pancevo, through the wastewater canal, the Danube was loaded with large amounts of toxic materials 2001 of anunonia, 1,000 t of 1,2-dichlorethane (DCE), 70 t of 33% hydrochloric acid, 0.2 t of mercury, 401 of sodium hypochlorite and 851 of polyvinyl chloride (PVC). Around 621 of crude oil and other derivatives burned for the most part or leaked into the canal (37,7001 of crude oil, 6,2001 of different types of petrol, 3501 of diesel fuel, 7,4801 of heating oil, 6,600 t of heavy vacuum oil, about 230 t of liquid petroleum gas, 80 t of benzene, 1,2001 of kerosene and 1,9001 of other derivatives and unspecified products mixed with several tenth tones of substances for fire extinction). After the bombing, undetermined amounts of ammonium nitrate and mono ammonium phosphate... [Pg.257]

Although limiting oxygen index (LOI) and UL 94 are popular measurements for evaluating fire extinction, the cone calorimeter is one of the most effective approaches for studying fire retardants. There are fire-relevant properties such... [Pg.191]
