Multiple Agent Suppression Characteristics In Fires Involving Cryogenic Fuel Groups

摘要

Cryogenic fuels create a unique circumstance at the air-fuel interface.This stems from the fact that these fuels absorb heat from their surroundings and hence traditional combustion characteristics are not observed,as a result of which traditional suppression properties are not followed.This paper investigates the properties associated with the suppression of cryogenic fuels,specifically liquefied natural gas(LNG),at the air-fuel interface,when dry chemical and foam agents are applied singularly or in combination.
