摘要:
The performance of internal combustion engines used in fire fighting equipment can be affected by the fireground ambient conditions. Both gasoline (SI) and diesel (CI) engines can suffer significant power losses due to high temperatures and reduced oxygen in the intake air caused by mixing with the products of combustion of a fire. This, and other engine problems associated with starting and operation under fireground conditions are examined in this paper.
