  1. 1. Factors influencing the generation of carbon monoxide in fires partially suppressed through water mist application

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Brandteknik

    Author : Haydn Lewis; [2020]
    Keywords : Fire safety engineering; water mist; fire suppression; carbon monoxide; water; combustion; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Fires in the built environment typically consist of diffusion flames with inefficient mixing of fuel and oxygen, resulting in a degree of incomplete combustion and the generation of carbon monoxide. Fire suppression systems, used to control the growth and spread of fire, influence the combustion reaction process. READ MORE

  3. 2. Ventilation strategies for road tunnels in different countries and consequences using Fixed Fire Fighting System (FFFS)

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Brandteknik

    Author : Rohan John Baptiste; [2017]
    Keywords : Longitudinal ventilation; fixed fire fighting system FFFS ; fractional effective dose FED ; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : A study is carried out on the ventilation strategies for road tunnels in different countries and consequences using fixed fire fighting systems (FFFS). The type of ventilation strategy for road tunnels can ensure the safety of people during the evacuation stages and protection of the rescue services during their intervention of the fire. READ MORE

  4. 3. Fire Extinguishing in Complex Facilities – A Study of Large Fire Extinguishing

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Brandteknik

    Author : Hampus Ragnar; [2017]
    Keywords : European Spallation Source; ESS; large fires; automatic fire extinguishing systems; manual fire suppression systems; sprinkler; low-pressure; high-pressure; water mist; foam; CAFS; PGA; powder; portable fire extinguisher; cutting extinguisher; PPV; extinguishing grenade; stora bränder; automatiska släcksystem; manuella släcksystem; lågtryck; högtryck; vattendimma; skum; pulver; handbrandsläckare; skärsläckare; släckgranat; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : This report analyzes fire extinguishing solutions that might cut time between fire alarm and fire extinguishing at the European Spallation Source. A special design fire with a very high peak heat release rate is used. READ MORE

  5. 4. The Use of a Water Mist Curtain as a Radiation Shield

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Brandteknik

    Author : Daniel Martin; [2015]
    Keywords : water curtain; radiation attenuation; water mist; radiation; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Water mist systems have seen an increase in use as an alternative clean agent fire suppressant since the late 1980s after the use of Halon gases were discontinued. One of the potential uses of these systems is to provide a protective curtain between a fire and desired target. READ MORE

  6. 5. Effects of Water Mist System on a Controlled Fire

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Brandteknik

    Author : Jasper Ho; [2015]
    Keywords : Fire; water mist; simulation; experiment; extinguish; extinguishment; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Current legislation regarding implementation of water mist system(s) requires full scale testing specific to its intended use which involves extensive funding that discourages potential users. This motivates the desire for accurate water mist simulation. READ MORE
