Ausgehend von Brandschadenstatistiken werden zunächst häufige Brandentstehungsszenarien, Brandursachen und die beteiligten Objekte und Materialien identifiziert. Auf dieser Basis wird ein Testszenario entwickelt, das es erlaubt, einen repräsentativen Entstehungsbrand unter definierten Testbedingungen zu untersuchen. Typische Brandkenngrößen werden anhand der ausgewählten Referenzszenarios des Schwelbrands einer Mischbrandkrippe vorgestellt. Der Fokus liegt dabei auf den freigesetzten Brandgasen.

Within the research project ‘TEBRAS’ the incipient phase of fires was investigated in detail. In the course of the project, it became apparent that the definition of what exactly the incipient phase of a fire encompasses is not definite and depends on the disciplines dealing with the subject ‘fire’. Based on the results of a literature review, an inquiry under experts and laypersons as well as practical fire tests a definition for the phenomenon of the incipient fire was developed which divides it into four phases. Driving key factors for each phase are identified considering the main parameters to detect and extinguish the fire.

Fire safety requirements for the burning rate, melting and dripping behaviour of interior materials already exist for many years. However, it remains unclear to what extent the release of smoke, combustion products and their toxicity should be limited. Therefore, a research and development project 82.0723 funded by BASt (Federal Highway Research Institute) was initiated to develop a simplified procedure for testing the toxicity and smoke development in case of fire of interior materials used in buses. The scope of the research included calculations to assess the toxicity of fire gases and the derivation of specifications for the formation of practicable limit values for smoke toxicity. Further investigations are needed to derive these limit values for smoke toxicity in order to be applicable for real fire scenarios in buses.

T1 - Reaction-to-fire testing of bus interior materials: Assessing burning behaviour and smoke gas toxicity N2 - Although fire safety regulations for buses have been adapted in recent years regarding, for example, fire detection and engine fire suppression systems, the changes in regulations for bus interior materials are minimal. A comparison of fire safety regulations for interior materials in other transport sectors for trains, ships or aircraft reveals a much lower level of requirements for bus materials. Although repeated bus accidents as well as fire statistics show the danger a bus fire can pose to passengers. In particular, the combination of a fire incident and passengers with reduced mobility led to severe disasters in Germany and other European countries. To enhance the fire safety for passengers, the interior bus materials are crucial as the fire development in the bus cabin determines whether escape and rescue is possible. Against this background, bus interior materials were tested in different fire test scenarios. Measurement of a wide variety of parameters, for example, the mass loss, ignition time, smoke gas composition, heat release rate among others were carried out. Tested materials complied to the newest set of requirements. For this purpose, interior materials and their components had to be identified according to their chemical structure. Parts of the tests were funded by BASt (Federal Highway Research Institute) in the project 82.0723/2018. Experimental results show reaction-to-fire behaviour which lead to very limited times for escape and rescue in case of fire in a bus cabin. Based on the studies on fire behaviour and toxicity assessment, recommendations for improved fire safety regulations for interior materials could be made.

The kinetic methodology is based on the application of these kinetic parameters to govern the underlying pyrolysis reactions. The primary objective was to numerically model the pyrolysis process for beech wood using both single-component (single-step, single reaction scheme) and multi-component (single-step, multi-reaction scheme) kinetic reaction schemes. The accuracy of the numerical model was validated by comparing FDS simulation results with experimental data obtained from thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and cone calorimeter tests. This approach aids in identifying reliable kinetic reaction input parameters for modelling wood fires. A case study was included to demonstrate the implementation of the kinetic reaction schemes. Numerical results from the TGA simulations for the small-scale pure cellulose test using the single-component approach exhibit consistency with the experimental data. Furthermore, the results demonstrated that the multi-component approach more accurately replicates the shape of the experimental curve for beech wood compared to the single-component approach. However, discrepancies in the tail regions of the curves obtained from the FDS simulations showed the need for further improvement in the modelling approach, particularly regarding the exclusion of char oxidation reactions, which needs to be investigated further.

It has been known for some time that modern materials (synonym for materials consisting mostly of synthetic polymers) tend to burn differently from older materials (synonym for materials consisting mostly of fibrous cellulosic substances) and it has been acknowledged that the amount of combustible plastics in homes has increased significantly over the last decades. To investigate the influence of modern furniture and ventilation conditions of fires in homes, a series of four large-scale tests in two Living rooms (LRs) with adjacent rooms (ARs) was performed by BAM and the Frankfurt fire service. Two LRs, one with older furniture and one with modern furniture, were tested twice each. Each test started with the ignition of a paper cushion on an upholstered chair. The influence of modern materials on the fire development was investigated, as well as the influence of the ventilation on the fire development. In all settings, an upholstered chair was the first burning item. Results of the test series show that fires in rooms with modern furniture develop faster than fires in rooms with older furniture. This is true for temperature development in the rooms as well as for smoke production.

Any influences of solid surfaces, temperature, and humidity on the crystallization were omitted by the use of a specially designed acoustic levitator. Investigations of polymorphic phase transitions during the crystallization process in different solvents allowed a structure assignment from first crystalline assemblies to final crystalline form. For the first time, it was possible to yield pure phases of selected polymorphs of the model compound ROY (5-methyl-2-[(2-nitrophenyl)amino]-3-thiophenecarbonitrile) directly from solution. The influence of the solvent on the final products and transient phases during the crystallization process was elucidated.

T1 - Quinaldine: Accessing two crystalline polymorphs via the supercooled liquid N2 - Quinaldine (2-methyl quinoline) is a liquid at room temperature, which can be supercooled to reach finally the glassy state. By heating the glass above the glass transition temperature Tg = 180 K the sample performs two subsequent transitions into, likewise, dielectrically active phases. Thus, the reorientational relaxations of these phases as well as the kinetics of the phase transitions can be tracked in a highly resolved way by dielectric spectroscopy. X-ray diffraction analysis clearly shows two structurally different crystalline phases in addition to the supercooled liquid. Calorimetric measurements support the notion of first order phase transitions, occurring irreversibly in the supercooled regime, and suggest that the intermediate crystalline phase is metastable, too. Analyzing the quite distinct dielectric relaxation strengths, we discuss the possible nature of the two crystalline phases. Additionally, a very similar behavior to quinaldine is observed for 3-methyl quinoline, indicating a broad field of polymorphism among the quinoline derivatives.

A1 - Rademann, Klaus A1 - Emmerling, Franziska T1 - Crystal growth rates and molecular dynamics of nifedipine N2 - The unusually fast crystallization of the organic compound nifedipine has been investigated in detail using different solutions as precursors for the formation of the initial glassy nifedipine films. Starting from these amorphous films the crystallization process was investigated by time-resolved light microscopy at different temperatures around Tg of nifedipine. In all studied cases (acetone, acetonitrile, ethyl acetate, dichloromethane, tetrahydrofuran) the measured mean crystallization rates are, on average, 10000 times higher than rates reported in previous studies. Such high rates cannot be explained by a classical diffusional crystal growth mechanism of nifedipine. Instead, nifedipine shows a strong propensity for diffusionless growth. Solvent assisted or solvent induced preordering of the glassy modification is suggested to be the most probable driving force behind these fast crystallization processes. The nifedipine crystallization rates can be controlled not only by specific solvent–molecule interactions but also by temperature. Below 40 °C, the temperature dependence of the rates is generally small. Above 40 °C, a slowing down of the crystallization rates with increasing temperatures indicates a kinetic competition between different polymorphs. The molecular dynamics of nifedipine molecules in the amorphous phase as well as the relaxation times are studied by dielectric measurements. The dielectric data corroborate the inherently strong propensity of nifedipine to crystallize diffusionlessly under all conditions.
