TY - JOUR AU - Gavrilov, B. AB - AT THE ENTERPRISES AND INSTITUTES A. M. Plaksina, V. N. Gusel'nikova, UDC 666.11.04:662.998 M. N. Kukhta, and B. A. Gavrilov When drilling and working wells there is a possibility of dangerous gas conflagrations and oil gushers and when these are being extinguished it is necessary to have protective clothing with screens for protecting the face. The intensity of the infrared radiation in a compact gas gusher with a yield of 2.5"106 m/day at a distance of 15 m from the mouth of the gusher is 8.3 kW/m 2 [i]. In the case of atomized gushers and with high wind speeds when compact gushers are burning, the flame may be drawn out to a distance of 50 m. It has been established that the greatest danger comes from infrared rays whose wave- lengths are in the 700-1500 nm range. It is well known that in this range there is the great- est proportion of electromagnetic energy emitted by the hot gusher. In contact with the tis- sue of a living organism, the IR creates a thermal effect causing a sensation of intense heat. The values of thermal radiation emission [2] are given in Table i.
