Abstract

This study investigates the main factors of fire prevention, such as spontaneous ignition and flash point, while using Diehylene Glycol (DEG) as the antifreeze for automobile and industrial machines. Our results show the flash point of $142^{\circ}C$ and the minimum ignition temperature of $388^{\circ}C$ in the range of $130{\mu}{\ell}{\sim}150{\mu}{\ell}$. By increasing temperature to ignite in 1 second, an instantaneous ignition temperature of the sample is $569^{\circ}C$ in the sample amount of $140{\mu}{\ell}$.
