COMPARTMENT FIRE TEST USING THE AVIATION FUEL

Compartment fire tests were performed using Jet-A-1 as the fire source under a compartment condition in order to evaluate the flame temperature according to the opening size in the fire from the release of jet fuel involving the collision of an airplane. The compartment fire test was performed using a 1/3 scale down model of the metal storage cask under test condition in which the flame temperature was the highest measured. As the opening and ventilation factor increased, the fuel consumption rate also increased. Therefore, when the size of the opening and ventilation factor was large, the flame temperature was high. When the metal storage cask was stored in the compartment, the flame temperature was decreased by as much as the heat that the metal storage cask received from the flame.
