ABSTRACT

The purpose of this paper is to describe and demonstrate a Fixed Water Mist Fire Protection System in an underground train carriage. It attempts to examine a full-scale compartment (2m×2.5m×11m) fire test simulated in an underground train carriage. Fire scenarios use large pool fires of a flammable liquid (Heptane pool fires). The fire scales are changed to various sizes (1.2MW ~ 4MW). Finally, this paper describes the effectiveness of water mist fire suppression in an underground train carriage
