A platform for research: civil engineering, architecture and urbanism
Thermal fluids have proven exceptionally safe during many years of operation in a wide range of industries. However, there is no way to completely prevent fires in these systems because the major components required - fuel, air and an ignition source - are always present by design. The potential for a serious fire caused by the thermal fluid system can be minimized by observing sound design and operating procedures. This article provides such guidance. It explains flash and fire points, autoignition temperature, and boiling range, outlines the types of fires that typically occur, and discusses how the potential for fires in the thermal fluid system can be minimized.
