Sugar is a sign of smoldering biomass fires
Research from Lund University and the division of Fire Safety Engineering is highlighted in the magazine Chemical and Engineering News. Dan Madsen and Bjarne Husted are involved in research where gases from smoldering fires have been analysed with chromatography-mass spectrometry. The results are exciting and a full presentation of the results will [...]
Lund University medium scale tunnel for fire safety research
The objective of the new test facility is to provide a unique medium scale tunnel for studying fire dynamics in tunnels. The facility will offer the ability to analyze the burning behavior of products, such as cables and linings, and their missions. There will also be the possibility to evaluate the performance of active systems, such as detectors, [...]
