Experimental Study of BLEVE Risk of LPG Tanks in Engulfment Fire
The experimental research on BLEVE risk of LPG tank exposed to fire is carried out. A experimental apparatus to simulate real accident of LPG tank is designed and manufactured. A series of experiments for different fill levels, different type of tanks subjected to different type of fires are performed with this apparatus. From the results of the experiments, the obvious stratification of temperature in the ladings of the tank is observed. And the pressure is increased due to the stratification. Thermal response of the LPG is affected by various factors such as fire type, tank type and fill level etc. The time of BLEVE is affected by the internal pressure of LPG and the burst pressure of tank. For the experiment tanks, the time of BLEVE is about 5 minutes, and is affected unconspicuous by fire type ,tank position and fill level.
