Investigation of extinguishing agents for coal dust explosion. Open file report Aug 79-Jun 82

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5929835
;
Eight extinguishing powders were tested on five types of diffusion flames. The effect of flame temperature on the inhibition efficiency was investigated by varying the oxygen index of the flame-supporting atmosphere. In addition, a spectrographic investigation of powder-flame dissociation products was carried out on the methane-air-ABC (NH4H2PO4) flame.
