Combustion, Explosion and Shock Waves Aims and scope

Abstract

The development and investigation of new effective and environmentally clean flame suppressants is a promising direction in fire extinguishing. Organophosphorus and metal-containing compounds are the most promising candidates for the replacement of CF3Br. However, for many of these compounds, data on their minimum extinguishing concentration are not available. In the present work, the minimum extinguishing concentrations for a number of new phosphorus-and metal-containing compounds and some of their mixtures, solid-propellant gas-generating compositions containing phosphorus additives were determined using the cup-burner technique and a setup with a turbulent flame source and transient application of flame suppressants.
