Improved Fire Protection System for Underground Fueling Areas. Volume 1.

摘要

The objectives of the investigation are to develop safe practice guidelines that will minimize the chance of fires in underground fueling areas and to develop a low-cost,reliable,automatic fire protection system for underground fueling areas. The effort described covers the period from June 21, 1976to September 30, 1977,and accomplished the following tasks: (1) Preparation of data plan and data acquisition,mainly through visits to 16mine sites and a literature survey; (2) Analysis of the accumulated data,providing design inputs for evaluation of the fire problem,development of safe practice guidelines,and development of recommended design concepts for automatic fire protection systems; (3) Preparation of safe practice guidelines for underground fueling areas; (4) Preparation of recommended design concepts for automatic fire protection systems for underground fueling areas; (5) Design and fabrication of fire protection system for installation at Pine Creek mine, Bishop,California;and (6) Install system and perform underground fire tests at Pine Creek mine.
