Experimental Investigations of the Thermal Decomposition of Wood at the Time of the Fire in the Premises of Domestic Buildings

Abstract:

Consideration was given to the issues relating to safety conditions and security arrangements during the thermal decomposition of wood at the time of the fire in the premises of domestic buildings. The data of experimental investigations obtained for the thermal decomposition of wood were given with the measurement data of the concentration of toxic gases (СО, СО₂), oxygen (О₂), and temperature depending on time and fire spreading conditions in the premises. The studies were carried out by comparing the changes in the temperature of the solid flammable materials with time and the emission intensity of toxic gas (СО, СО₂) under the limited oxygen access at the time of the fire. The research data confirm those obtained for the gaseous atmosphere composition in the premises during the thermal decomposition of the solid flammable materials.
