FIRE PROTECTION FOR OXYGEN ENRICHED ATMOSPHERE APPLICATIONS,
Abstract
Effective fire protection is achievable in oxygen enriched atmospheres. Specific requirements toward the realization of this goal include: (1) Elimination of ignition sources; (2) Minimization of combustibles with the complete exclusion of flammable liquids and gases; (3) If combustible materials must be employed, the type, quantity and arrangement in the chambers must be carefully controlled; (4) Fire walls and other containment techniques should be utilized to isolate potential high risk fire zones; (5) A fixed fire extinguishing system should be utilized which incorporates automatic initiation by flame and smoke detectors as well as manual initiation and provides rapid (<2 seconds) and sufficient agent discharge.
