Demonstrator Units are designed to provide a safe demonstration and learning environment with the ability to initiate and sustain a carbonaceous fire. By controlling the release or containment of fire gases this will accurately simulate fire behaviour and development of a fire event.
Instructors can demonstrate the principles of combustion and compartment fire behaviour, how a fire develops and spreads and the appropriate extinguishing and cooling techniques to control it. Students are able to observe the process of pyrolysis, air tract and effects of under and over pressure.
They will also be able to experience the effects of radiated heat, lowering of the neutral plane and the effect on visibility. Signs and symptoms of ‘flashover’ can be identified including the ignition of fire gases.
