Carbon Monoxide Production in Compartment Fires: Reduced-Scale Enclosure Test Facility
Carbon monoxide production during room fires has been investigated using natural-gas fires within a reduced-scale enclosure (RSE), an 0.98 m x 0.98 m x 1.46 m(w x h x d) room with a single door opening centered in the front wall. This series of 125 fires with heat release rates (HRR) from 7 to 650 kW and global equivalence ratio phi sub g from 0.2 to 4.2, respectively, has demonstrated that the upper layer is nonuniform in temperature and gas species, and that upper-layer oxygen is depleted for underventilated fires with high-temperature upper layers. For fires having HRR exceeding 400 kW (phi sub g > 2), carbon monoxide concentrations of up to 3.5 percent have been observed in the front portion of the upper layer. Carbon monoxide concentrations in the rear were consistently lower being on the order of 2.0 percent for phi sub g > 2.
