Experimental studies for determ<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g self-heat<strong>in</strong>g<br />

Large-<strong>scale</strong> silo tests<br />

• A smoulder<strong>in</strong>g fire can go on for a long time before it is detected<br />

• Early detection requires reliable measurement of<br />

low concentrations<br />

• The spread of the pyrolysis core is slow and downwards<br />

• The upward transport of pyrolysis gases is slow<br />

• Good repeatability of the experiments. Suitable as validation<br />

data for mathematical simulation.<br />
