Also known as boil-over
A boilover (or boil-over) is an extremely hazardous phenomenon in which a layer of water under a pool fire (e.g., an open-top tank fire) starts boiling, which results in a significant increase in fire intensity accompanied by violent expulsion of burning fluid to the surrounding areas. Boilover can only occur if the liquid fluid is a mixture of different chemical species with sufficiently diverse boiling points, although a so-called thin-layer boilover – a far less hazardous phenomenon – can arise from any water-immiscible liquid fuel. Crude oil, kerosene and some diesel oils are examples of f
Se denomina rebosamiento por ebullición (boiling over en inglés) al rebosamiento de un líquido combustible incendiado, generalmente petróleo crudo, cuya densidad y punto de ebullición son inferior y superior, respectivamente, a las del agua, lo cual produce la ebullición brusca del agua situada bajo el líquido combustible.
