In continuation of a preceding test series involving sole LPG vehicle tanks, three passenger cars equipped with identical toroidal steel LPG tanks were set on fire. The tanks were installed in the space normally reserved for the spare tyre, in the car boot. No safety device was installed on the tank, in order to force critical failure of the cylinder. Two of the cars were equipped with a tank filled with liquefied propane to a level of 20% (5.3 kg), the third one was filled completely (25.5 kg). The partially filled tanks failed critically within a time period of more than 20 min after the initiation of the fire. The fully-filled tank did not rupture; the propane was released continuously through a small leak that appeared during the fire. Comprehensive equipment was used to procure measurement data, enabling an analysis of potential consequences and hazards to humans and infrastructure within the vehicle surroundings. The inner status of the tank (pressure, temperature of the liquid phase and the steel casing), the development of the fire (temperature inside and around the vehicle) and the pressure induced in the near-field in case of tank rupture were recorded. The results were analysed in detail and compared against the data gained in tests involving sole, but identical LPG tanks.
The presented results gained within the project "CoFi-ABV - Consequences of tank failure" give detailed insights into the potential consequences of tank failure of commercial 11 kg propane cylinders and the LPG tank installed in a car in case of a misfunction of the safety device. In comprehensive test campaigns performed on the Test Site for Technical Safety of BAM (BAM TTS), 15 off-the-shelf propane bottles and three passenger cars with a LPG tank were exposed to an intensive fire. Sensors and measurement equipment were used to gain data (temperature, pressure, dynamic overpressure, thermal radiation, video data) enabling an analysis of the consequences of tank failure and for the continuous monitoring of the experiments.

Im Rahmen dieses Vortrags werden die Besonderheiten beim Einsatz von Messtechnik bei Versuchen im Groß- und Realmaßstab und unter Freifeldbedingungen dargestellt. Anhand des Themenfeldprojektes CoFi-ABV und der dort durchgeführten Versuchsreihen werden die Rand- und Rahmenbedingungen beim Durchführen der Experimente, Instrumentierung und Versuchsaufbau sowie beispielhafte Ergebnisse erläutert.
Im Rahmen dieses Vortrags wurden aktuelle Arbeiten der BAM im Rahmen der Forschungszusammenarbeit mit dem Bundeswehrkrankenhaus Berlin zum primären Explosionstrauma vorgestellt. Den Schwerpunkt des Vortrags bildeten die Auswirkungen der kumulierten Belastung durch "low-level blast" auf das Gehirn von Einsatzkräften und Rückschlüsse für den Arbeitsschutz und die Arbeitsmedizin.
