Recent Results from the Dispersed Liquid Agent Fire Suppressant Screen

Abstract

Most of the current methods for fire suppression efficiency screening (e.g., cup burners) are designed for evaluating gaseous fire suppression agents. Potential uses of liquid agents as halon replacements have been recently proposed in several applications (e.g., shipboard machinery spaces, engine compartments in armored vehicles). Under the auspices of the US Department Defense Next Generation Fire Suppression Technology Program (NGP), the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has been tasked to design, construct, and demonstrate a laboratory-scale apparatus that can perform the screening of liquid agents in well-controlled conditions.
