What is Impact of air velocity on ignition in the Intermediate Scale Calorimeter (ICAL) about?
Higher surface temperatures were required for ignition in the Intermediate Scale Calorimeter than in the Cone Calorimeter. Air velocity measurements were made in front of calcium silicate and particleboard specimens in the Intermediate Scale Calorimeter and temperature measurements were carried out on their exposed surfaces. The higher ignition temperature in the Intermediate Scale Calorimeter was the result of the high induced upward air velocity due to the large specimen size (1.0 m by 1.0 m). This caused the flame to blow off. A higher surface temperature was needed to produce a downward flame spread rate sufficient to overcome the upward air velocity. To counteract this effect, a horizontal projection plate extending 100 mm out from the bottom edge of the specimen was installed. This created an eddy, causing a downward air velocity near the surface at the bottom of the specimen. The igniter was a hot wire across the width of the specimen at a height of 100 mm. The flame quickly spread down from the igniter to the bottom edge and attached there. Under these conditions the temperature required for ignition of particleboard in the Intermediate Scale Calorimeter was less than it wa
