Can liquid cooling technology be used to protect firefighters' suits?

In this paper, we propose a new liquid cooling strategy (NLCS) by embedding liquid cooling technology into firefighters' suits to create a composite protection system that intercepts heat before it enters the microenvironment under the suit. The performance of the NLCS was evaluated through thermal protective performance tests.

Does liquid cooling improve firefighting performance?

The new strategy effectively intercepts heat before it reaches firefighters, enhancing protective performance. The new strategy reduces energy consumption and minimizes cold stimulation. This study provides valuable references for the application of liquid cooling in firefighting scenarios.

Is there a strategy for extinguishing and cooling Lib fires?

Accounting for continuous elevated temperature process after LIB fire suppression, an effective strategy for extinguishing and cooling LIBs fire was proposed and verified for the first time by the experiments. The following conclusions were obtained from this study:

Can lithium-ion battery fires be suppressed with a rapid water mist cooling system?

The prompt and effective suppression of lithium-ion battery (LIB) fires presently remains a challenge. In the present work, apparatus is constructed to investigate the extinguishment and cooling effectiveness of a single LIB dodecafluoro-2-methylpentan-3-one (C 6 F 12 O) suppression and rapid water mist cooling system.

Is dry water a good extinguishant for lithium-ion battery fires?

Developing an environment-friendly, high-cooling, non-conductive, and low-cost extinguishant has been the focus on fighting lithium-ion battery (LIB) fires. In this work, dry water (DW), a powdered material containing copious amounts of liquid water, was first studied as an extinguishant for LIB fires.

Is dry water based extinguishant suitable for Lib fire?

Conclusion In this work, a kind of dry water (DW) based extinguishant with the advantages of high cooling effect, non-conductive, low cost and environment-friendly extinguishant was studied for LIB fire.
