특수선(FPSO, Drillship)의 거주구역이나, 대형 여객선(크루즈선) 공간의 70% 이상을 차지하는 수용시설(accommodation) 즉, 객실, 라운지, 공공장소, 창고 등은 24시간 사람이 상주하는 구역임으로 화재로부터 완벽하게 보호되어야 한다. 이를 위해 국제해사기구(IMO)에서는 SOLAS II-2 Reg. 10.6과 FSS code Ch. 8에 적합한 미분무수 소화설비를 설치할 것을 강제화하고 있다. 이러한 미분무수 소화설비는 미분무수 노즐, 압력용기, 섹션밸브, 펌프유닛 등으로 구성되는데 특히 핵심부품인 미분무수 노즐은 IMO Res. MSC 265(84)에 따라 노즐성능시험 및 화재진압성능시험을 통해 형식승인을 득해야 한다. 본 연구에서 이러한 기준에 만족하는 미분무수 노즐을 개발하고자 선실 및 복도에 대한 화재시험에 이어 공공장소 화재시험을 수행하였으며, 두 가지 천장 높이에 대한 화재진압성능을 평가하였다.

Water mist fire suppression experiment is carried out for a personal computer fire. F Fire spread is observed and analyzed by measured temperatures without the injection of t the water mist. The extinguishment test shows that oxygen concentration increases r rapidly upon the water mist injection. Also $C0_2$ concentration decreases steeply due to t the injection because the water mist suppresses combustion reaction. Relative humidity g goes up very steeply by the injection.

미분무수 소화시스템을 이용하여 철도차량 내부 화재진압 실험을 수행하였다. 실험차량은 실물 철도차량이며, 화재시나리오는 표면화재 1종, 유류화재 1종, 그리고 미분무수 소화시스템에 의한 화재공간 내의 공간 냉각 능력을 조사하기 위한 차폐화재 1종 등 총 3종이었다. 실험에 사용된 소화시스템은 6종으로, 일정압력을 가지는 소화시스템 5종, 질소가압 압력용기로부터 분사되는 소화시스템 1종이다. 실험 결과 미분무수 소화시스템이 철도 차량 내부의 화재를 효과적으로 소화시키거나, 소화가 되지 않더라도 우수한 공간 냉각 능력으로 화재 피해를 최소화 할 수 있음을 알았다.

We carried out fire extinguishing experiments with three kinds of water mist nozzle system. Fire extinguishing experiment according to installed nozzle height and fuel pan location was done. And fire extinguishing performance was compared with plain water and foam agent mixed solution. Water mist nozzle height was varied with 4m, 3.5m and 3m and position of fuel fan was varied 0.5m and 1m from the center of water mist nozzle. Foam agent that used in this experiment is 3% type of AFFF (Aqueous Film Forming Foam) solution. Experimental result showed the door opening effect was little. Fire extinguishing performance of foam agent mixture water mist was better than the plain water mist only.

The full-scale experiments are carried out to investigate the fire suppression characteristics of water-based fire fighting systems in a road tunnel. Applied systems are the low-pressure water spray system at 3.5 bar and the high-pressure water mist system at 60 bar. The water flow rate of the high-pressure system is one sixth only of the water spray system. A passenger car and a heptane fuel pan with area of $1.4m^2$ are used as fire sources. A blower system is installed at the tunnel exit to realize the longitudinal ventilation conditions (0.9~3.8 m/s) in the tunnel. Temperatures from the fire source to the down-stream direction are measured by K-type thermocouple trees. The experimental results show that the cooling effect of the high pressure water mist system in the test conditions were equivalent to that of the low pressure water spray system for B-class fire.

도로터널에서의 미분무수 소화시스템의 적용 가능성을 검토하기 위해 실물 화재 실험을 수행하였다. 적용된 화원은 실물 승용차 화재와 유류화재를 모사한 화원면적 $1.4m^2$의 heptane pool 화재이며, 기존 도로터널에 설치된 저압 물분무 시스템과 고압 미분부수 소화시스템과의 냉각효과 비교실험을 수행하였다. 도로터널 내의 환기조건을 구현하기 위해 실물모형 터널의 한 편에 터널 유속(0.9~3.8 m/sec 범위) 발생장치를 설치하였으며, 화원에서 하류 방향으로 터널 내 온도분포를 측정하였다. 실험 결과 1/5의 유량을 사용하는 고압 미분무수 소화시스템은 저압 물분무 시스템과 동등한 수준의 냉각효과를 보였다.

This paper includes new nozzle design, basic design factors of water mist system that minimize a thermal damage of cable causing business interruption and applying underground utility tunnel. A underground concrete structure (2.5 m(H)$\times$2.5 m(W)$\times$25 m(D)) is constructed in order to test a nozzle performance. Under the designing fire scenario, critical thermal damage of cable sheath ($400^{\circ}c$) reached within a 2 minutes with unsuppressed fire, but type 1 nozzle (SMD 470 $\mu{m}$) and type 2 nozzle (SMD 650 $\mu{m}$) control cable temperature below $400^{\circ}c$. A system performance and fundamental design factors; K factor, flow rate, spray angle, size distribution, nozzle pressure, spray density are analyzed and proposed for system optimization.

It has been known that there is not the general design method for water mist system because the fire extinguishing mechanisms are dependent on both spray characteristics and a fire compartment. It is therefore rational that a general performance-evaluation guideline does not exist. The present work suggests the performance-evaluation guideline for water mist system applied to the power transformer room based upon the investigation and analysis of fire accidents and the similar guideline.

In this study, the fire extinguishing experiment was performed using a water mist nozzle with variation of factors which affect on the extinguishing time. The variables were distance from nozzle center to fire location, droplet size, height of nozzle and opening or not. With the experimental data, interaction and sensitivity between factors were analysed with Mini tab and deduce a optimum model of fire extinguishing of water mist system. Based on the experiment and modeling of fire extinguishing with water mist system, the most important factor on extinguishing time is the distance from the center of nozzle to fire and the opening effect was small compare with other factors.
