Abstract
This paper describes the experimentally results of extinguishment performance change by fuel type of plant biomass extinguishment form. This extinguishing method is assumed to be used for small packaged extinguishing systems for installation in general residential. In this study, extinguishing experiment was conducted to clarify extinguishing performance of fire by common fuel in the home. In previous studies, n-heptane was used as fuel that simulates gasoline. In this study, vegetable oil and kerosene was used. These fuels are further high boiling point. In a high boiling point fuel case, much foam was collapsed. Because the radiation intensity from high boiling fuel flame to foam is higher than n-heptane flame.
