Abstract
Various embodiments described herein are related to a flame mitigation device that can comprise a rigid body comprising a side wall having a first perforation of a first size and a second perforation of a second size. The rigid body can be hollow and the first size can be greater than the second size Also, the first perforation and the second perforation can provide fluid communication through the side wall. Moreover, the flame mitigation device is configured to absorb enough heat to drop a burning air/fuel mixture below its auto-ignition temperature at a flame speed between 4 and 6 meters per second.
Claims20
A flame mitigation device comprising:
- a rigid body comprising a side wall having a first perforation of a first size and a second perforation of a second size, wherein the rigid body is hollow, wherein the first size is greater than the second size, wherein the first perforation and the second perforation provide fluid communication through the side wall, and wherein the flame mitigation device is configured to absorb enough heat to drop a burning air/fuel mixture below its auto-ignition temperature at a flame speed between 4 and 6 meters per second.
A flame mitigation device, comprising:
- a rigid body configured to be seated within a nozzle of a fuel container;
- a first perforation that defines a first hole extending through a side wall of the rigid body;
- and
- a second perforation that defines a second hole extending through the side wall, wherein the first hole has a first cross-area that is greater than a second cross-area of the second hole.
A flame mitigation device, comprising:
- a hollow rigid body comprising an opening and a side wall, wherein the opening is positioned at a first end of the hollow rigid body, wherein the side wall extends from the opening to a second end of the hollow rigid body;
- a first perforation in the side wall;
- and
- a second perforation in the side wall, wherein the first perforation has a size that is greater than the second perforation.
