Abstract

The minimum fire extinguishing concentration is a key index for the development of next generation chemical clean fire extinguishing gases, which is usually got by the cup-burner. The fire suppression performance of low concentration of chemical gas is hard to be understood by the available methods. In this work, the fundamental acknowledgement of steady flame surface attacking mechanism by halon functional group is newly discussed by conducting a series of bench scale tests with a cylindrical channel under a varied fluorinated gases. The characteristics of flame propagation under differentiated air atmosphere environmental conditions is obtained. The influence of fluorine-containing gas flow rate on flame propagation speed is clarified. A dimensionless relationship including atomic radius, bond length, polarization degree, molar mass and molar volume are proposed to describe the influence of low concentration of fluorine-containing gas on flame propagation speed. It provides an insight for the understanding of the flame inhibition performance of low concentration halogenated gas.
