Interaction of Fire-Extinguishing Agents with Flame of Diesel Bio Fuel and Its Mixtures

Abstract

Analytical and experimental data on fire hazard of diesel bio fuel, its mixtures with oilbased diesel fuel, and parameters of processes of their burning and interaction with fire- -extinguishing agents. Applicability of the types of fire-extinguishing agents having been used for putting-out of diesel bio fuel was revealed and a number of parameters to describe their efficiency when extinguishing diesel bio fuel were determined. It was revealed that in case of diesel bio fuel content in its mixtures with oil-based diesel fuel up to 30% fire-extinguishing efficiency of foam generated from foam solutions nearly does not differ from that when extinguishing diesel fuel containing no additives.
