緩燃

另見火災術語歧義一覽。

緩燃（英語：Deflagration）是火釋放能量的兩種方式之一^[1]，是以傳熱方式、低於音速地緩慢燃燒，日常絕大部份火災皆屬緩燃，低於音速的爆炸亦屬緩燃。^[1]火另一種釋放能量的方式稱爆轟，兩種方式都有俗稱「爆燃」造成混淆。

火爐裡的火在緩燃。

1. Detonation and Deflagration: What Is The Difference?. Safetell Security, U.K. [2020-06-11]. （原始內容存檔於2020-06-11）. DETONATION is a quick and explosive form of fire. [...] DEFLAGRATION is a slow catching fire. Ordinary fire and most explosions are instances of deflagration. Deflagration fires are usually controllable and can be harnessed.[...] Combustion takes different forms. When a decomposition reaction or combination reaction releases a lot of energy in a very short span of time, an explosion may occur. Deflagration and detonation are two ways energy may be released. If the combustion process propagates outward at subsonic speeds, it’s a deflagration. If the explosion moves outward at supersonic speeds, it’s a detonation."
