Abstract

, class A solid fire and class B liquid fire test). Thermocouples and a color video camera were used to measure burning temperature and record the fire extinguishing process. Results indicate that the new dry water FEAs have the ability to extinguish A, B and C fires, and have a better cooling effect than dry powder FEA. It is noted, compared with traditional FEAs, that dry water FEAs have the advantages of high efficiency and high speed, and have a potential application prospect.
