Definitions
- the invention relates to fire or explosion suppressants or methods. More particularly, the invention relates to such suppressants and methods comprising or using water. Fire or explosion suppressants according to the invention, and to be
- water with an additive comprising a surfactant comprise water with an additive comprising a surfactant.
- a fire or explosion suppressant comprising a water-based solution containing a surfactant characterised in that the surfactant is capable upon dispersion of the solution of producing a predetermined value for the surface tension which becomes at least as low as about 25
- the surfactant is capable upon dispersion of the solution of producing a predetermined value for the surface tension which becomes at least as low as about 25 mN/m in less than 50 milliseconds .
- Figure 1 shows a volume of water-based suppressant for explaining the operation of suppressants according to the invention
- Figure 2 is an enlarged view of part of Figure 1 ;
- Figure 3 shows an oscillating et arrangement for testing the
- Figure 4 is a section on the line IV-IV of Figure 3.
- Figure 5 is a graph for comparing the effectiveness of various
- suppressant acts only as a physically-acting agent, producing a heat absorption or extraction effect without any chemical suppression mechanism. However, it has a high surface tension and high mterfacial tensions on most materials and is therefore a poor wetting agent. On most solid surfaces, water remains as discrete droplets (with a contact angle greater than 90°) and therefore does not effectively wet the surface. Therefore, heat transfer from the burning substance to the water would be impeded - because this depends on the surface area of contact - and thus the suppressant action would be poor.
- Equation 1 shows that the parameter with the greatest effect on droplet size is surface tension ( ⁇ ) .
- FIG 1 shows a volume of water 5 with the water/air interface being shown as 6.
- Surfactant molecules are shown (purely diagrammatically , of course) as 8.
- Each surfactant molecule comprises a hydrophilic "head” 8A and a hydrophobic "tail” 8B.
- the surfactant molecules 8 thus congregate along the interface or surface 6 with their “tails” 8B extending through the surface of the water, and thus reducing the surface tension forces acting there.
- other surfactant molecules will form micelles indicated diagrammatically in Figure 1 at 10.
- Figure 2 shows one of the micelles 10 m enlarged (and, again, purely diagrammatic) form. Because of the hydrophilic "heads" 8A and
- hydrophobic "tails” 8B the surfactant molecules congregate in groups or micelles 10 which are typically spheroidal in shape, with their “tails” 8B extending towards each other and to the centre of the micelles forming central areas m each micelle from
- the surfactant molecules m the micelles 10 are not effective at the surface 6 of the water, they are not acting to reduce the surface tension of the water.
- the molecules have to diffuse to the new interfaces - m particular, they have to diffuse to the interfaces from the micelles.
- the surfactants In order for the surfactants to be effective in reducing the surface tension of the water in conditions of fire or explosion - m other words, in order for
- the surfactant molecules to be m position to reduce the surface tension of the water when it is applied to the fire or explosion - the time taken for the surfactant molecules to diffuse from the micelles to the new surfaces must be shorter than the time taken for the water to travel from the point of discharge (e.g. the
- surfactants capable of lowering the surface tension of the water within the same order of time scale are added to water-based fire or explosion suppressant solutions.
- fast-acting is meant surfactants which act within a time
- the water may be pure water or it may be water containing an alkali metal salt such as potassium bicarbonate, potassium lactate, potassium acetate or potassium citrate.
- an alkali metal salt such as potassium bicarbonate, potassium lactate, potassium acetate or potassium citrate.
- the surfactant has the structural
- M is a cation of an alkali metal (lithium, sodium, potassium, rubidium, caesium) or of a
- X in the structural formula RXM is an amonic group.
- sulphate groups are a sulphate (-OS0 3 ), a sulphonate (-S0 3 ) or a carboxylate (-C0 2 ); the sulphate is preferred.
- R in the formula RXM is an alkyl (preferably, a branched chain alkyl group) or is an alkylaryl group, in each case containing four to twenty carbon atoms and preferably at least one atom of silicon.
- a preferred example for R contains the trimethylsilyl group ( ( CHJ Si-) .
- the molecular weight of the RX fragment should be below 400
- a preferred example of a suitable surfactant is a
- the water-based solution may be pure water or water containing
- an alkali metal salt such as potassium bicarbonate, potassium
- lactate potassium acetate or potassium citrate. More specific
- the surfactants operate to reduce the surface tension within such a short time scale, the droplet sizes of the water are much smaller, producing better heat transfer from the fire or explosion and thus a better suppressant effect.
- the rapid reduction in the surface tension facilitates further atomisation
- the droplets have improved wetting ability for hot surfaces (e.g. the hot surfaces of clutter within a room or container such as an engine compartment of a vehicle or a crew compartment of a military vehicle), thus producing enhanced heat transfer.
- hot surfaces e.g. the hot surfaces of clutter within a room or container such as an engine compartment of a vehicle or a crew compartment of a military vehicle
- the rapid reduction of surface tension also is particularly advantageous for explosion suppression applications.
- FIG. 3 shows the form of jet produced when the orifice is el ptical. In the oscillating jet, ⁇ is taken as the distance between two
- Y is surface tension (mN/m) and the subscript S denotes surfactant solution and the subscript
- W denotes pure water
