3/1/2010 - Conference papersNIOSH conducted full-scale fire suppression experiments, and this report discusses the large-scale experimental configuration, installation of the fire suppression system, and conclusions regarding the effect of air velocity and other factors.
-
2/1/2009 - Conference papersResearchers evaluated four different types of fire suppression systems to study the effect of air velocity on extinguishing conveyor belt fires. Details are presented on the large-scale fire test set-up and arrangement of fire suppression systems.
