摘要：

Wind generators have become very popular lately as a means to generate power for today's life. The height of wind generator is always 60 to 70 meters. If the cabinet is in fire, it will be hard to respond for fire fighter. A fixed fire suppression system is a good solution for fire protection. For the good performance of water mist system, this study wants to develop a water mist system for wind generator fire protection. A water mist system combines the key suppression mechanisms of heat absorption, oxygen displacement, and radiant heat blocking to control, suppress, and extinguish fires. In addition, water mist systems provide the following advantages over other systems: superior fire suppression, better smoke absorption capability, minimal water damage, non-toxicity, non-asphyxiating, and environmentally friendly. Through series of fire tests, this study utilized water mist system for wind generator fire protection and conducted full-scale fire experiments. Moreover, according to analyses and discussion of a series of full-scale fire extinguishing tests, the effectiveness of water mist system on wind generator could be estimated, and compared with fire experiment parameters, such as exposed or unexposed fire sources, number of nozzles, un-sheltered or sheltered fire sources, and fire source location. Therefore, the experimental results were analyzed and compared to establish a water mist fire extinguishing system appropriate for the nacelle of the wind generators, and the water mist system is proved to have good effectiveness on fire suppression in wind generator with sheltered fire source. © 2012, Baywood Publishing Co., Inc.
