The amount of heat, which is released by fire loads during the combustion
process, depends on the material characteristics, the ventilation
conditions, the storage density and the distribution. To evaluate the
structural stability of buildings in case of fire, the fire load has to be
quantified. In Germany, the fire load is quantified by using the combustion
factor m, while internationally the combustion efficiency χ is
applied. Both factors assess the burning behavior of materials, but the
determination is carried out in different ways. Since the testing facility
was abolished fifteen years ago, it is not possible to determine the combustion
factor m anymore. So, it should be found out, if the combustion
efficiency χ is a convenient method to quantify the fire load under the
consideration of the German standards. As a part of the research, combustion
efficiencies χ were determined for eight materials in the cone
calorimeter and the single burning item test at different heat fluxes.
The values of the combustion efficiencies χ as well as the corresponding
combustion factors m were discussed and compared to the values of the
literature. The results show an influence of the testing facility on the
combustion efficiency. The values of the combustion efficiency determined
in the single burning item test were higher than the values from
the cone calorimeter.
Vor dem Hintergrund der Zurückziehung der DIN 18230 Teil 2 zur Bestimmung des m-Faktors von Materialien für die Brandlastbewertung im Industriebau müssen neue Wege gefunden werden, wie das Abbrandverhalten alternativ quantifiziert werden kann. Der Beitrag fasst die Entstehung und die Entwicklung der Bestimmungsweise von Abbrandfaktoren zusammen und gibt Ausblick auf eine neue Möglichkeit zur Bewertung von Brandlasten, die Verbrennungseffizienz.
In Europa kommen ca. 80 % der Brandtoten bei Wohnungsbränden ums Leben. Dabei sind Brände in Wohn- und Schlafzimmern besonders gefährlich. Einige Objekte, wie Polstermöbel und Fernseher, stellen im Brandfall eine besonders große Gefahr dar, da sie sich schon durch kleine Zündquellen, wie ein Feuerzeug oder eine Kerze, leicht entzünden lassen, eine hohe Wärmefreisetzungsrate haben und viel Rauch produzieren. Ein einzelnes Sofa kann in einem Raum einen Flashover erzeugen. Besonders im Kinderzimmer tritt oft eine Häufung an besonders gefährlichen Objekten wie Polstermöbeln, Matratzen und elektrischen Geräten auf. Da Kinder sich im Brandfall oft falsch verhalten sie verstecken sich an schwer zugänglichen Orten wie unter dem Bett oder im Schrank anstatt den Raum zu verlassen sind sie besonders gefährdet.
Approaches towards a generic methodology for storage of hazardous energy carriers and waste products
(2013)
Energy carriers – either conventional or 'new' ones – have to be provided in large amounts to meet the requirements of permanent availability and reliable supply of electricity. Depending on their state of aggregation, energy carriers are either stored in large masses (if solid or liquid) or at elevated pressures (if gaseous). Both impose the hazard of large-scale fire, in the latter case additionally the danger of explosion or unintended release. Very similar hazards occur for wastes. Solid wastes are present in large masses and only a small part is recycled. Most of the solid wastes are used in energy conversion. The main gaseous waste is CO2. During capturing also the hazard of unintended release exists. In this article, existing approaches for safe storage and fire prevention are discussed and a generic methodology is outlined. This methodology consists of the following steps:
gaining knowledge about the behaviour of the material stored (reactivity, thermal stability, etc.),
assessing the environmental conditions for the storage site (neighbourhood, safety distances, etc.),
assessment of prospective consequences of an incident and
development of individual loss prevention conceptions.
All steps require both experimental testing and theoretical considerations about accident scenarios as integral parts of the methodology.
From a fire safety point of view, the burning behavior of lithium-ion batteries is of high interest. The heat release rate (HRR) is the most important fire parameter to analyze the fire hazards of burning objects, so that an accurate determination of it is crucial. In this paper, two different measurement techniques, the Oxygen Consumption Calorimetry (OCC) and the Sensible Enthalpy Rise Approach (SERA) are simultaneously performed in the same calorimeter to measure the HRR of two different types of lithium-ion batteries. HRR values as well as total energies determined by SERA are higher than measured with OCC: The total energy released is about 10–12 times (SERA) and 6–9.5 times (OCC) the electrical stored energy for both battery types, whereas the timescales of the release differ strongly between the types, resulting in maximum HRRs of 3.4 MW (SERA) and 1.5 MW (OCC)
for one module of type A and 0.8 MW (SERA) and 0.6 (OCC) of type B respectively. Furthermore, a sensitive dependency of the HRR measurement with SERA on the position of the wall temperature measurement is observed.
Heute verfügbare Technik ermöglicht es, die Wärmetransportmechanismen im Brand, an der Bauteiloberfläche und im Bauteil mittels CFD zu koppeln. Die Kopplung von Fluid und Struktur wurde am Beispiel eines 100-MW-Tunnelbrands mit CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) untersucht. Die instationären Berechnungen wurden mit dem CFD-Programm ANSYS Fluent durchgeführt. Der infolge eines Lkw-Unfalls verursachte n-Heptan-(C7H16)-Brand wurde mit dem Eddy-Dissipation-Verbrennungsmodell modelliert.
Das Fluid- und Solid-Gebiet wurden durch ein ‚Interface‘ gekoppelt. Die instationäre Wärmeleitung des Bauteils mit einer Höhe von 0,4 m wurde mit der dreidimensionalen Fourier´schen Wärmeleitungsgleichung modelliert und das instationäre thermische Verhalten des quarzhaltigen Betonbauteils analysiert. Temperaturabhängige Stoffkennwerte wurden berücksichtigt.
CFD modeling approach of smoke toxicity and opacity for flaming and non-flaming combustion processes
(2016)
Current engineer’s methods of fire safety design include various approaches to calculate the fire Propagation and smoke spread in buildings by means of computational fluid dynamics (CFD). Because of the increased computational capacity, CFD is commonly used for prediction of time-dependent safety parameters such as critical temperature, smoke layer height, rescue times, distributions of chemical products, and smoke toxicity and visibility. The analysis of smoke components with CFD is particularly complex, because the composition of the fire gases and also the smoke quantities depends on material properties and also on ambient and burning conditions. Oxygen concentrations and the temperature distribution in the compartment affect smoke production and smoke gas toxicity qualitatively and quantitatively. For safety designs,
it can be necessary to take these influences into account. Current smoke models in CFD often use a constant smoke yield that does not vary with different fire conditions. If smoke gas toxicity is considered, a simple approach with the focus on carbon monoxide is often used. On the basis of a large set of experimental data, a numerical smoke model has been developed. The developed numerical smoke model includes optical properties, production, and toxic potential of smoke under different conditions. For the setup of the numerical model, experimental data were used for calculation of chemical components and evaluation of smoke toxicity under different combustion conditions. Therefore, averaged reaction equations were developed from experimental measurements and implemented in ANSYS CFX 14.0.
Based on forensic evidence, a smouldering fire was observed to have occurred at a murder scene. Identification of a reasonable timeline – specifically the fire dynamics of the ignition and fire growth that occurred coincident with the death that took place – became an important focus of the criminal investigation that followed. The fire service was called when a neighbour saw a grey smoke escaping through the ventilation system of the bathrooms on the roof of the house. One flat door with elevated temperatures was found. The fire fighter who entered the flat first reported later that the flat was completely filled with smoke and all windows were closed. When the fire fighter opened the balcony door, he saw flames on the sofa that he extinguished. Then he found a body on the floor. The autopsy showed later that the victim was dead before the fire started. The police suspected that the murderer probably had deliberately set the fire to destroy evidence. One suspect had been witnessed to be in the flat approximately 2 h before the fire was detected by the neighbour. The aim of this project was to investigate how the fire most likely started and developed.
