Abstract
En 中文
To prevent the vertical spread of fire from flammable components in Building-Integrated Photovoltaic (BIPV) modules during building fires, we applied a fire-resistant (FR) coating technology to the surface of BIPV modules, which are commonly used in Zero Energy Buildings (ZEBs). By applying an acrylic FR coating to the BIPV module, we quantitatively evaluated the influence of heat damage before and after the FR coating, the average propagation rate of flames, and the module failure time in a combustion environment. The results demonstrate that the flame-blocking function and fire diffusion prevention effect of the FR coating are excellent in all combustion environments. Particularly, flame damage is minimized under the condition of an FR coating with a thickness of at least 50 mu m. The current work suggests fire resistance mechanisms in various combustion environments and provides the applicability of FR coating technology on BIPV modules for fire non-proliferation.
