Abstract:

This study presents the possibilities of using a fire extinguishing agent based on a water-soluble polymer for extinguishing fires at facilities where the fire load is formed by liquid combustible materials. It has been theoretically and experimentally shown that by changing the concentration of gelling additives, the viscosity can be varied, which, in turn, directly affects the characteristics of the protective layer created by applying the gel fire extinguishing agent to the surface of the combustible liquid.. The results of an experimental study of the effectiveness of gel fire extinguishing agents based on a polymer of the ECOFLOC A-18 type are presented. A method for preparing liquid solutions of concentrates of aqueous fire extinguishing agents with a gelling agent concentration of up to 10 %, which are easy to dissolve in water or in a foaming agent, is proposed. It is noted that their concentration should be such that when creating a working solution, the amount of gelling agent in it is not less than 0.05 % for the use of the solution in extinguishing fires.
