Abstract

This paper addresses the basic concept of fire and explosion suppression technologies for light petroleum fuel, proposes two research directions in fire-resistant fuel and explosion-suppression material technologies, and reviews the main research progress on these two fields home and abroad. It focuses on the research on fire-resistant diesel and non-metal spherical explosionsuppression material. The fire-resistant and self-extinguishing properties of the fire-resistant diesel is proved by micro-structure analysis, sustainable combustion performance test and welding test with fuel tank. Meanwhile the performance of non-metal spherical explosion-suppression material is verified by horizontal shock tube test and 30 mm Fragmentation Explosive Incendiary Shells (FEIS) bombing test, exhibiting its outstanding explosion-suppression performance, especially in the suppression of secondary-explosion process of the fuel gas.
