Testing with clean hot smoke to simulate real fire.
In order to simulate a real fire situation, it is necessary to create:
The test equipment developed in-house by Applus + TST creates these conditions. It allows smoke generation with a temperature regulation of up to 80°C at the smoke outlet. In this way, the smoke temperature does not damage the equipment of the roof structure, but it does allow stratification of the smoke in order to be able to test the emergency fire detection and ventilation systems in situ.
Applus+ TST's clean smoke service is aimed at organisations that need:
In addition, the hot smoke machine can be transported on a light truck, which gives it the flexibility to change the test site quickly if there is road access. It also has small wheels that allow it to be moved for positioning.
W can incorporate the simultaneous operation of a second clean hot smoke machine with a higher smoke flow capacity. In this way, smoke production of up to 24m3/s could be achieved, with similar smoke outlet temperatures that would not damage the equipment or the roof structure. This smoke production would be comparable to the smoke generation of a 5MW / 8MW fire.
APPLUS TST SMOKE MACHINES | Smoke flow rate m3/min | Smoke flow rate m3/s | Fire power MW |
SINGLE MACHINE | 580 | 9,66 | 2-3 MW |
DOUBLE MACHINE | 1460 | 24,32 | 5-8 MW |
NOTE: If the tests require higher power and smoke flow rates, Applus+ TST offers complementary engineering services, using a validated calculation with a lower smoke production test.
To operate the machine reliably and safely, Applus+TST has specialist technicians on site:
After the test/simulation, we issue a report describing the test performed, providing the data recorded and attesting to the performance of the test.
