Stack Gas Measurement of Burning Propane Gas for an Experimental Fire Fighting Trainer,

摘要

The Navy's fire fighting training facilities include burning diesel oil which results in a multitude of chemicals and present pollution and health hazard problems. A possible solution is replacement of diesel fuel with a relatively clean burning gaseous fuel. To determine this feasibility,stack gas measurements were made from a 4million btu per hour gas burner facility under a fire fighting training environment. The concentrations of stack gases were found to be sensitive to various test parameters including air-fuel ratio (primary air),stack exhaust size and draft inlet openings (secondary air). These concentrations were determined as controllable and within acceptable safe limits for fire fighting training application. (Author)
