Experimental investigation of the effects of a sidewall and cable arrangement on a horizontal cable tray fire in an open atmosphere

Abstract: The work deals with the influence of a sidewall and cable arrangement on the behavior of a fire involving horizontal cable trays in the framework of fire safety assessments in nuclear installations. The analysis is based on large‐scale fire tests performed in the open atmosphere in the frame of the OECD Nuclear Energy Agency (NEA) PRISME 3 project and on the corresponding simulations applying the FLASHCAT model for predicting the fire heat release rate. The fire configuration consists of five horizontal trays … Show more

“…The choice of the CFS-2 test is based on the cable type (PVC insulated cables) and the ventilation renewal rate (15 h -1 ) as close as possible to the real fire event characteristics. The second step (Step 2) consisted of a blind simulation of the CFP-D1 cable fire test [7] performed within the PRISME 3 project. Only the input data on the experimental conditions were accessible to the participants and the CFP-D1 test was planned to be carried out after the due date of the blind simulations.…”

“…), no theory has yet been put forward on how to model all the aspects of the problem, even for simple, open atmosphere conditions. Some approaches in the form of experimental studies [10], [11] and more recently [3], [4], [7] have nevertheless been carried out and an empirical model referred to as FLASH-CAT [11] (short for flame spread over horizontal cable trays) was developed by the NIST for horizontal cable tray fires in open atmosphere. FLASH-CAT is a relatively simple model for predicting the growth and spread of a fire within a vertical stack of horizontal cable trays.…”
