In order to rationalize for Large Equipment Dismantling Facility (LEDF), the plan of removing vaporizer belong to Cell-fire-extinguishing-system was investigated. In this test, in order to study the behavior of pressure in cell, when the liquefaction carbon dioxide (liq-CO) is emitted, and the performanee of extinguishing fires, the test of behavior of pressure and the extinguishing fires take effect. Also the extinguishing fires test used water-mist take effect for complement liq-CO. The results as follows; (1)In the test of behavior of pressure, Liq-CO was emitted test room under -40mmAq negative pressure. Room pressure was increase about 0.8mmAq/sec at first. After 29sec, the pressure was increase slowly about 0.1mmAq/sec. After 120sec, the increase was drastic about 1.5mmAq/s. (2)In the test of extinguishing fires by liq-CO, under -40mmAq, Polyethylene and wooden chips + cotton (crib) was burn. Polyethylene was extinguished perfectly, but the embers remained in cribs. While the room pressure was increase about 1.3mmAq/sec for 10sec at first. After 30 sec, the pressure was increase about 1mmAq/sec. On the other hand, the drastic increase of pressure disappeared between 100sec to 120sec by change the nozzle size from 14mm to 10mm. (3)In the test of extinguishing fires by water-mist, Cribs was extinguished perfectly, but Polyethylene was extinguished difficulty under the same condition of liq-CO test. (4)Therefore the results, It's coped with the fire extinguishing and the keeping negative pressure for LEDF cells. Therefore nozzle size is fitted cell volume as changing 14mm to 10mm. (5)As the performance of extinguishing fires by liq-CO, It is necessity the concentration of above 50% CO for combustibles as cribs, remaining the embers. (6)On the other hand, It is necessity most study for the adoption of water-mist. Therefore water-mist was not effective for polyethylene, and it needed water ...
