Abstract
The Phase II testing was intended to further study the potential for contribution of antifreeze solutions to fire conditions. The Phase II test plan was separated into two scopes. Scope A tested antifreeze solutions for the potential to create a large-scale ignition of the spray when discharged through sprinklers onto a fire. Scope B tested antifreeze solutions for their impact on a sprinkler system’s ability to control a fire condition and maintain tenable conditions.
