Fire protection and hydrogen burn equipment survival research
A discussion is presented of the Fire Protection and Hydrogen Burn Equipment Survival Research Programs at Sandia National Laboratories, with emphasis on the experimental efforts completed in FY85 to characterize fires and fire damage and to understand equipment response to hydrogen burns. The results of fire characterization tests, electrical cabinet fire tests, and cable and relay damage threshold tests are described. The results of hydrogen burn simulation tests of cable, solenoid valves, and pressure transmitters are also described, including testing using both realistic heat flux conditions and heat fluxes beyond those anticipated during an actual hydrogen burn. Plans for FY86 analysis and testing are summarized. 17 figs.
