Water Mist Extinguishment of Pool Fires: A Parametric Approach
The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) at its Pittsburgh Research Laboratory (PRL) is interested in the application of water mist sprays to extinguish diesel fuel fires in underground mine diesel refueling areas. To this end, experimental studies have been carried out on the extinguishment of diesel fuel fires at PRL's large enclosed fire suppression facility (FSP) at its Lake Lynn Laboratory (LLL). Two sizes of shallow fuel pans (3x3 ft and 5x7 ft) contained the fires, and a number of commercial mist spray nozzles (at roof locations) and spray/fire locations were tested (52 fires in all). Visual observations of the pool fire extinguishment process by the overhead sprays with an infra-red sensitive videocam suggests that there are two distinct actions involved in extinguishment due to two different transport mechanixms by which the water droplets can enter the fire plume.
