Abstract: In order to achieve optimum suppression effect of active dusting explosion suppression system, influence of dispersion pressure on dispersion of KHCO3 cold aerosols was tested, and suppression experiment of the aerosol on explosion of 9.5% methane-air premixed gas was carried out via a 5 L tube testing platform. And suppression effect of KHCO3 cold aerosols on methane explosion pressure and flame propagation under different dispersion pressure was investigated. The results show that dispersion pressure significantly impacts dispersion of KHCO3 cold aerosol, thereby affecting its suppression performance on methane explosion. When at low pressure, the aerosol is hard to disperse, so it shows poor explosion suppression effect and can only inhibit early stage flame. But as the pressure increases, its suppression effect gradually improves. However, when it is fully dispersed, such effect can rarely be improved by continuing to increase dispersion pressure.
