Brandventilation Genom Schakt: Experiment (Fire Smoke Ventilation through Shafts: Experiments)

K. Nireus / P. O. Werling / S. G. Hansson / B. Onnermark

An experimental investigation studied the fire smoke filling of a large compartment (6x6x6 m) ventilated through shafts of various heights (0, 2, 4, 6 m). The fuel was kerosene. The experiments measured the optical smoke density (OD) and the gas temperature (T) at various heights. By visual observation the height of the smoke layer (h) was measured. The result of the investigation was primarily the large collection of data (OD, T, h) to be used in future tests of calculation models. Directly observed was only a weak correlation between the smoke filling and the heights of the ventilation shafts.
