Experiment-based investigations on the effect of ignition energy on dust explosion behaviors

Explosion behaviors of typical light metal and carbonaceous dusts induced by different ignition energies were investigated based on systematic experiments in a Siwek 20 L vessel. Comparative analysis reveals that the explosion mechanism of carbonaceous dust is the volatile combustion, whereas the mechanism for light metal dust mainly features the surface heterogeneous oxidation. Influences of ignition energy on severity and flammability limit are much more significant for carbonaceous dust than light metal, especially for the powder with less volatile. An innovative approach was introduced to derive flame thickness from the pressure–time trace. The relation between explosion induction time and combustion duration of ignitor was also analyzed. Results show inappropriate ignition energy will cause under-/over-driving in the thermodynamic/kinetic characteristic measurements. In this way, a dimensionless parameter pressure ratio was introduced to evaluate the under-driving, while two methods by using flame thickness and induction time respectively, were proposed to evaluate over-driving. To improve the accuracy of dust explosion tests, authors advocate that explosion severity determination should be conducted at the critical ignition energy. Moreover, a comparison between the European and Chinese flammability limit determination procedures was also conducted, indicating that EN 14034-3 is suitable for light metal but not for carbonaceous, while GB/T 16425 appears to be slightly conservative for both carbonaceous and light metal dusts.     

Modelling large-scale vented gas explosions in a twin-compartment enclosure

Natural gas and LPG are common fuels that have been used relatively safely in the home for many decades. However, when there is a release of gas within a dwelling, or gas from a leaking external pipeline migrates into a building, an explosion may occur. Most of the experimental research into vented gas explosions has been conducted in single enclosure, cuboid or spherical geometries which are not representative of accidental explosions in dwellings or process industries. This paper discusses the findings of a comprehensive large-scale experimental programme undertaken by British Gas Research and Development and also compares FLACS CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) simulations against a number of these experiments. The results suggest that the software is useful in gaining a greater understanding of the dynamics of explosion development in dwellings. The paper highlights areas of good performance of the software as well as areas of shortcomings where further understanding and modelling effort is needed.     

Influence of dustiness on small-scale vented dust explosions

A new safety characteristic the “dustiness” according to VDI 2263 – part 9 (Verein Deutscher Ingenieure, 2008) is investigated. Dustiness means the tendency of a dust to form clouds. The paper deals with the physical reasons for the different behavior of dusts, even if they have similar properties such as particle size and density and the influence of the dustiness on dust explosions. In order to study the effects of the dustiness on dust cloud formation for different dispersion methods experiments in a vertical dust dispersion glass tube apparatus were carried out. Furthermore vented dust explosion experiments were done for two different dispersion methods and two static activation pressures.Experiments show that particle size and density are not the only factors which influence dispersibility. Particle shape, specific surface area, flow and dispersion method have an influence which can outweigh size and density. Preliminary explosion experiments showed that the dustiness has an influence on the reduced explosion pressure and flame speed in a vented 75 L test apparatus. In order to verify the results for applications in the process industries further tests with industrial scale experiments are planned.

在全尺寸巷道火灾试验中,利用48路全自动数据采集系统,研究了快速密闭条件下火区的燃烧状况及温度和压力变化规律.试验发现,作用在风门上的抽吸力很大,很快降到很小;而燃烧区的温度迅速上升,烟及挥发分的产物迅速增加,氧的相对含量下降,之后燃烧减弱,温度迅速下降;燃烧区高温烟气沿着顶板逆向迁移至密闭墙,使附近的温度迅速上升至293 ℃;快速密闭设施必须要有一定的刚性和耐火特性;对贫氧燃烧,有利于火区的惰化,而对富氧高挥发分燃料火灾,有爆炸的危险;适当减少供风量,截断供风后应及时采取惰化措施.

高炉喷吹用潞安贫瘦煤爆炸下限与返回火焰长度的试验研究

该试验通过测定爆炸下限与返回火焰长度这两个参数来确定4种煤粉的爆炸性。爆炸下限指能使喷入一定装置中的粉尘云点燃并维持火焰传播的最小粉尘浓度,是确定粉尘爆炸性重要参数,试验室通常使用20L的爆炸装置进行测定。喷吹现场广泛采用长管式煤粉爆炸性测试仪检测煤尘引燃后产生的返回火焰长度,该长度随煤粉爆炸性的强弱而显著变化:返回火焰长度大于600 mm可认定该煤粉具有强爆炸性;在400~600 mm之间则煤粉具有中强度爆炸性;小于400 mm则煤粉具有弱爆炸性。结果表明:20 L球测得4种煤粉的爆炸下限在60~85 g/m3之间;长管式煤粉爆炸性测定仪测得4种煤粉的返回火焰长度在20~50 mm之间。由测定的返回火焰长度可知,试验所用的4种煤样均属于弱爆炸性煤种。
