Abstract

An offshore plant is vulnerable to fire because of the isolated environment. In particular, the damage to an offshore plant is increased when a hydrant reducing valve, which is a main piece of equipment in an offshore plant, is damaged in a fire. In this study, we conducted a fire safety test for a hydrant reducing valve and proved the validity of our analysis by comparing the results of the test and analysis. Therefore, we here suggest an analysis method for a fire safety test. FSI(fluid structure interaction) was considered in the fire safety test. The reliability of the analysis method was verified by comparing the temperature distributions of the test and analysis. In addition, we verified the problems that were caused in the fire safety test by conducting a structure analysis. At a result, the main problem was found to be deformation of the valve seat.

해양플랜트는 고립된 한경 특성상 화재에 취약하다. 특히 해양플랜트의 주요 기자재인 소화용 감압 밸브가 피해를 입었을 때 해양플랜트의 피해는 증가한다. 본 논문에서는 해양플랜트에 사용되는 소화용 감압밸브에 대한 화재 안전시험을 수행하고 그 결과를 수치해석 결과와 비교, 분석하여 해석의 타당성을 증명하고 화재 안전시험에 대한 해석 기법을 제시하였다. 화재 안전시험의 화염을 구현하기 위해 FSI를 이용하였으며 화재 안전시험의 온도 분포와 해석 결과 온도분포의 비교를 통해 해석 기법의 신뢰성을 확인하였다. 또한, 화재 안전시험에서 나타난 문제점을 구조해석을 통해 검증하였으며 그 결과 시트의 변형이 문제점으로 나타났다.
