Experimental studies of the fire extinguishing ability of systems based on bulk porous materials during acetone extinguishing were carried out. For this purpose, the experimental methodology for determining the fire extinguishing properties of such extinguishing agents, which was previously proposed for ethanol, was chosen. Crushed foam glass, granulated swollen perlite, and vermiculite were selected as bulk materials. As the bottom layer, which ensures the buoyancy of the fire extinguishing system, granular foam glass with a granule size of 10-15 mm was used. As the upper layer, which provides high insulating properties, we consider swollen perlite with a size of spherical granules with a diameter of 1-1.5 mm and swollen lamellar vermiculite with a linear size of 1×2 mm. The buoyancy of the selected bulk materials in acetone, their bulk density and moisture retention were experimentally determined. On the basis of the experimental results, the heights of the layers of dry and wetted bulk materials required for acetone extinguishing were calculated. It was found that the wetting of bulk materials leads to a significant increase in their extinguishing properties. This fact is explained by two factors: an increase in the insulating properties of perlite and vermiculite due to filling the voids between the perlite and vermiculite granules and a decrease in the concentration of acetone vapour due to its absorption by water. The introduction of water also increases the cooling properties of the fire extinguishing system. The lowest heights of fire extinguishing layers during acetone extinguishing are provided by the systems: wetted foam glass – 6.5 cm and foam glass (5.5 cm)+perlite (1 cm)+water. An expert evaluation of the complex parameter of the effectiveness of fire extinguishing agents for the selected fire extinguishing systems when extinguishing acetone was carried out. The best result was shown by wetted foam glass Further directions of research on the fire extinguishing characteristics of systems based on bulk porous materials and methods for establishing a complex parameter of the effectiveness of fire extinguishing agents are outlined.
