Fire propagation and temperature distribution in the vicinity of CNG fuel tanks during a bus fire
Original language description
This paper presents the results of two compressed-natural-gas (CNG) -fueled busses in a burn test. The burn test wasdesigned to mimic bus depot fire accidents. The rate of development of the fire from the engine compartment tothe fuel tank area, time to fill the whole passenger compartment with smoke and the time to open the TPRD(temperature-triggered pressure relief device) were of interest in relation to the time for the fire brigade to arrive toestablish a safety perimeter. The discharge of CNG and the evolution of the fire dynamics after opening the TPRDmounted on the fuel tanks were observed. The temperature on TPRDs as well as inside the bus were measured.Several cameras recorded the spread of fire and smoke both from outside and inside a bus. Measured data arecrucial for safe and efficient rescue operations and the evaluation of threats imposed on the surroundingenvironment.
