Abstract
Fire experiments were conducted in a semi-full scale 8 m(3) room, burning 127 kg combustibles under varying air supply conditions. In the range of air supply rate used, fires were ventilation-controlled and oxygen deficient combustion was predominant. However, temperature was almost as high as in the case of full scale fires.
