      Bjørge, Joachim Søreng; Bjørkheim, Svein Arne; Log, Maria-Monika Metallinou; Log, Torgrim; Frette, Øyvind (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)
      In the present work, the cooling efficiency of water droplets falling onto hot aluminum and stainless steel discs from heights of 12.5 cm, 25 cm, 50 cm and 100 cm, corresponding to speeds of 1.5 m/s, 2.2 m/s, 3.1 m/s and ...
    • Method for measuring cooling efficiency ofwater droplets impinging onto hot metal discs 

      Bjørge, Joachim Søreng; Metallinou, Maria-Monika; Log, Torgrim; Frette, Øyvind (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)
      The present work outlines a method for measuring the cooling efficiency of droplets impinging onto hot metal discs in the temperature range of 85 °C to 400 °C, i.e., covering the boiling regimes experienced when applying ...
    • Small Scale Hydrocarbon Fire Test Concept 

      Bjørge, Joachim Søreng; Metallinou, Maria-Monika; Kraaijeveld, Arjen; Log, Torgrim (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)
      In the oil and gas industry, hydrocarbon process equipment was previously often thermally insulated by applying insulation directly to the metal surface. Fire protective insulation was applied outside the thermal insulation. ...
    • Study of Industrial Grade Thermal Insulation as Passive Fire Protection up to 1200 °C 

      Bjørge, Joachim Søreng; Gunnarshaug, Amalie; Log, Torgrim; Metallinou, Maria-Monika (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)
      It has recently been demonstrated that 50 mm thick industrial grade thermal insulation may serve as passive fire protection of jet fire exposed thick walled steel distillation columns. The present study investigates the ...
