FEATURES OF THE STUDY OF FIRES ASSOCIATED WITH EXPLOSIONS OF FUEL-AIR MIXTURES

Abstract

Explosions of fuel-air mixtures and their accompanying fires are perhaps the most common emergencies. A high probability of this kind of emergency is typical for both industrial facilities and the residential sector. When studying fires associated with deflagration (explosive) gorenje fuel-air mixtures, experts often face a number of questions that are difficult to solve when using the standard methodological approach used in the study of a classic fire. The article presents an expert analysis of fires caused by the ignition (explosion) of a fuel-air mixture. The paper also presents statistics of fires associated with explosions of fuel-air mixtures over the past five years, which provides data on the categories of objects and the nature of fuel-air mixtures.
