Gaseous agents are widely used in fire extinguishing systems (FESs) when water extinguishing agents are unavailable. The extinguishing ability of the FES-gaseous agent is determined by the retention time (hold time) at which its concentration is maintained. In particular, the retention time of the inert agent is determined by the O2 inflow from the outside. However, current theoretical models for inert agents do not provide an accurate model for the diffusion of incoming O2. Specifically, because the theoretical equations do not include O2 diffusion or include too large a value, there is a large difference between the measured and theoretical retention times. Therefore, in this study, accurate O2 diffusion was verified through experimental and numerical analyses using three types of deactivators and reflected in the existing theoretical model. O2 diffusion was analyzed through the interface slope α and diffusion velocity vd. As a result, this proposed method can predict the retention time more accurately than existing theoretical models.
