- Abstract
- Requirements toward the goal of effective fire protection in an oxygen enriched atmosphere are: 1) elimination of ignition sources; 2) minimization of combustibles; 3) if combustible materials must be employed, the type, quantity and arrangement in the chambers must be carefully controlled; 4) fire walls and other containment techniues should be utilized; 5) a fixed fire extinguishing system should be used and it should have automatic and manual initiation by flame and smoke detectors and provide rapid (less than 2 seconds) and sufficient agent discharge.
