Abstract

Water mist was sprayed on small compartment areas filled with smoke that formed from two different combustibles. The water-mist injection pressure and time were varied, and changes in the light extinction coefficient were measured over time. The smoke removal effect was analyzed with a light sensing smoke meter in different experimental conditions. Using the meter, the changes in smoke density were converted to changes in DC voltage over time to obtain the changes in the light extinction coefficient. The water mist was more effective in eliminating the smoke formed from glowing compared to flaming combustion. The smoke removal effect was significantly better with greater injection pressure and injection time.

구획된 소규모 공간내부에 각 경우별로 서로 다른 두 종류의 가연물로부터 발생된 연기(smoke)를 채운 후 미분무 헤더를 통해 분사압력과 분사시간을 서로 달리하면서 미분무를 분사하였으며, 이후 시간경과에 따른 광소멸상수의 변화 값을 측정하였다. 미분무가 구획된 공간내부에서 분사될 경우 각각의 실험조건에 따른 연기제거효과의 패턴과 차이점은 감광식 연기농도계를 통해 고찰하였다. 실험에 이용된 감광식 연기농도계를 통해 시간변화에 따른 연기밀도의 변화값을 직류전압(DC voltage)의 변화값으로 확보할 수 있었으며, 이를 통해서 광소멸상수의 변화를 알 수 있었다. 훈소(glowing)에서 발생한 연기가 불꽃연소(flaming combustion)에서 발생한 연기보다 연기의 제거효과가 컸으며, 분사압력이 높을수록, 분사시간이 길수록 연기제거효과는 크게 나타났다.
