There is a lack of data on the self-ignition behaviour of tetrafluoroethylene (TFE) in industrial sized
equipment. In order to assess the tendency of TFE for
decomposition in large scale vessels, , a facility was
designed and constructed. Tests were
carried out in a cylindrical reactor with a volume of 100 L with initial
pressures of 5 and 10 bar(a). The effect of the reacto
r adjustment (vertical or horizontal) was taken into
account. The current work describes the test set
up and summarizes the experimental results achieved.
Furthermore, this paper reports on a numerical model for
the prediction of the self
-heating of TFE in closed
vessels, which was previously developed for small scale reactors and has been here validated for larger
dimensions with the experiments performed in the new facility.
