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.
-
1/1/2012 - Peer reviewed journal articlesIn this study, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modeling was conducted to optimize gas sampling locations for the early detection of spontaneous heating in longwall gob areas.
-
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.
-
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.
-
6/1/2002 - Peer reviewed journal articlesExperiments were conducted to determine the optical scattering properties of diesel particulate matter (DPM) and various combustion aerosols from both flaming and smoldering combustion sources at discrete angles of 151 and 301 in the forward direction...
