Early detection of smoldering in silos: Organic material emissions as precursors
Bluvshtein, Nir; Villacorta, Edmundo; Li, Chunlin; Hagen, Bjarne Christian; Frette, Vidar; Rudich, Yinon (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)The possible use of organic particle emissions as indicators of smoldering fires at low temperatures (early stages, <150 °C) is explored in laboratory experiments. Samples consisting of wood pellets were heated under ... -
Onset of smoldering fires in storage silos: Susceptibility to design, scenario, and material parameters
Villacorta, Edmundo; Haraldseid, Ingunn; Mikalsen, Ragni Fjellgaard; Hagen, Bjarne Christian; Erland, Sveinung; Kleppe, Gisle Yngvar Romslo; Krause, Ulrich; Frette, Vidar (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Biomass fuels in large storage units are prone to self-heating and ignition causing smoldering fires. Here, the susceptibility of such ignition processes to parameters is explored through small-scale experiments. In a silo ...
