5/1/2011 - Peer reviewed journal articlesThis paper discusses the impact of ventilation airflow on alarm times of the smoke detectors and video cameras, CO levels, smoke optical densities and smoke obscuration, total smoke mass concentrations, and fire heat release rates.
-
10/1/2018 - Peer reviewed journal articlesAn article presenting the results of a study investigating the responses of different sensors for early detection of diesel fuel fires in a storage area.
-
6/1/2017 - Peer reviewed journal articlesAn article describing a NIOSH experiment that showed that the heat release rate of a mine fire can be calculated with reasonable accuracy using atmospheric monitoring systems sensor data.
-
3/1/2016 - Peer reviewed journal articlesThis article by NIOSH describes a series of full-scale experiments that evaluated an atmospheric monitoring system for fire detection in other areas of a coal mine.
-
3/1/2015 - Peer reviewed journal articlesAn article detailing experiments conducted to evaluate the response characteristics of commercially available gas, smoke and flame sensors to fires of common combustible mine materials.
-
10/1/2011 - Peer reviewed journal articlesNIOSH conducted a series of large-scale explosion experiments at the Lake Lynn Experimental Mine to investigate the inerting effect of limestone rock dust. Post-explosion dust residue samples were analyzed to infer flame travel.
-
4/1/2010 - Peer reviewed journal articlesThis paper discusses large-scale experiments conducted by NIOSH to evaluate the effectiveness of optical flame detectors, photoelectric smoke detectors, and combined ionization/photoelectric smoke detectors for detecting mining equipment cab fires.
-
4/1/2009 - Peer reviewed journal articlesThis report describes experiments, their results, and how these results apply to early-warning fire sensors capable of rapid and reliable detection of fires in atmospheres that could be contaminated by either airborne dust or diesel engine products.
-
12/1/2008 - Peer reviewed journal articlesThis paper describes the in-mine evaluation of a smart mine fire sensor system and discusses recommendations for improving the system.
-
12/1/2003 - Peer reviewed journal articlesResearchers determined that different types of fire sensors could distinguish mine fires from nuisance emissions produced by diesel equipment. A neural network was developed for coal, wood, & conveyor belt fires in the presence of diesel emissions.
