Fire and Thermal Experiments in Support of the Model Evaluation Protocol for LNG Facility Fires

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/2588296· OSTI ID:2588296

The motivation for the experiments reported here pertains to the siting of Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) facilities which requires assessing the potential adverse radiant thermal impacts of accidental fires on the public. The objective is to obtain data on jet fires, pool fires, fireballs, and concrete walls that could serve as thermal barriers for model validation. The fuels tested include ethane, ethylene, propane, and isopentane.
