fsri-residential-gasburner-2016 - 2016 Gas Burner Experimental Data

13 gas burner experiments were conducted in a single-story (5) and a two-story (8) residential-style structure. Both structures were constructed in a large indoor laboratory with a volume of 18,920 m3 and a ventilation rate of 420 m3/min, which resulted in relatively quiescent initial conditions. Initial temperatures ranged from 18C to 25C for all experiments. The gas burner was supplied with a flow rate of natural gas to produce a 250 kW fire in the single-story experiments and a 500 kW fire in the two-story experiments. Thermocouple arrays with sensors arranged from the ceiling to the floor were used to measure temperatures. Arrays of bi-directional probes were used to measure gas flow velocities. Arrays of differential pressure sensors were used to measure static pressure relative to atmospheric pressure external to the structure. Experiments consisted of unique sequences of ventilation of exterior window and door openings.
