Abstract
To allow future creation of knowledge-based design fire scenarios for car fires, a systematic literature review was performed. Keywords “fire + passenger vehicle” and “fire + car” were filtered in Scopus, Science Direct and Web of Science databases for 1990–2024 period yielding 11 papers containing relevant data. A further citation mining on references revealed another 33. A total of 148 individual records of fire experiments were identified, with records of the heat release rate (or mass loss rate), total heat release and time to reach peak heat release rate. The database was subdivided by the car size and drivetrain, as well by the age of experiments. Analysing the course of experiments, common phases of fires have been identified, leading to another sub-division of the database by the location of the ignition source. It was found that fires initiated from the underneath the car did lead to higher peak HRR and a shorter time to peak compared to fires starting at other locations. Statistical distributions of peak HRR, time to peak HRR and THR are given for each sub-set of data. The average Heat of Combustion value of 25 MJ/kg (± 7 MJ/kg) was identified for the entire dataset.
期刊介绍:
Fire Technology publishes original contributions, both theoretical and empirical, that contribute to the solution of problems in fire safety science and engineering. It is the leading journal in the field, publishing applied research dealing with the full range of actual and potential fire hazards facing humans and the environment. It covers the entire domain of fire safety science and engineering problems relevant in industrial, operational, cultural, and environmental applications, including modeling, testing, detection, suppression, human behavior, wildfires, structures, and risk analysis.
The aim of Fire Technology is to push forward the frontiers of knowledge and technology by encouraging interdisciplinary communication of significant technical developments in fire protection and subjects of scientific interest to the fire protection community at large.
It is published in conjunction with the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) and the Society of Fire Protection Engineers (SFPE). The mission of NFPA is to help save lives and reduce loss with information, knowledge, and passion. The mission of SFPE is advancing the science and practice of fire protection engineering internationally.
