Abstract

Action of water mist in suppressing gasoline spray fires, asphalt spray fires and diesel spray fires in confined spaces will be reported in this paper. Relevant experimental works reported earlier are reviewed with key points summarized. Factors affecting the properties of the water mist suppression systems are investigated. The characteristics of water mist are studied using the Phase Doppler Particle Analyzer with key results compiled. Results are firstly applicable in directly drafting out design guides on water mist suppression systems on oil fires. Secondly, it is also useful for justifying numerical models studying water mist suppression on oil fires.
