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.
-
2/1/2009 - Conference papersThis report describes experiments and their results in determining the responses of a prototype smoke detector and a commercially available photoelectric smoke detector to smoke particles generated from various combustion sources.
-
1/1/1991 - Reports of InvestigationsThis report details the results of a series of large-scale experiments where small coal fires were used to ignite the conveyor belt at specific air velocities, and showed conditions required for early detection of conveyor belt entry fires.

-
2/18/2020 - Research projectsA project to provide a real-time method for determining the size and location of an underground mine fire, and the spread of smoke and toxic gases throughout the mine ventilation network, using data from atmospheric monitoring systems (AMS) and MFIRE 3.0.
-
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.
