In this paper, fire resistance test was carried out to obtain class H-120 thermal insulation of fire dampers according to a hydrocarbon fire conditions. Specimens were fabricated three different types according to the change of the insulation system applied to damper blade and coaming which were measured surface temperature by performing the fire resistance test. As a test result, specimen-1, 2 of an uninsulated damper blade were exceeded thermal insulation acceptance criteria at 21 minutes, 46 minutes respectively, but specimen-3 of an insulated damper blade was satisfied thermal insulation acceptance criteria during 120 minutes. The test results showed that the insulation of the damper blade was an important factor in the fireproof performance of fire dampers concerning the coaming length minimum 500 mm on the unexposed side as specified test standard.

Vestibule pressurization system should produce uniform air egress velocity to prevent the intrusion of smoke into escape route when fire accidents occur inside a building and fire doors are open for evacuation of people. Air supplying units in the vestibule need to be arranged by taking account of the location of doors and the volume of the vestibule. In this study, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations were conducted for the vestibule where two doors are installed varying the location of a damper and louver angle. From simulations, we found that when the damper in the vestibule is located at the center of the wall opposite to two fire doors, the uniform air egress velocity can be obtained.

In this paper, Fire resistance test was carried out in accordance with the change of the insulation conditions on the exposed side and unexposed side of the coaming to obtain optimal insulation conditions for class H-120 insulation in connection with specimen-1 of the preceding paper for the evaluation of fireproof performance for fire dampers according to hydrocarbon fire conditions. As a test result, specimen-2(88 mm, $171^{\circ}C$) was satisfied class H-120 insulation, but specimen-3(76 mm, $181^{\circ}C$) was exceeded thermal insulation acceptance criteria at 110 minutes, therefor, specimen-2(88 mm) is optimal insulation conditions as possible lightweight than specimen-1. Test result comparison, we concluded that temperature rising of the coaming insulation surface was influenced by conductive heat from the bulkhead, and coaming surface was influenced by radiant heat from blade & coaming.

This study is experimentally analyzed to extract the major parameters affecting the performance of the smoke-control system and the relations of pressure difference between vestibule and supply air pressure zone effect of supply mass flow rate and leakage area in the smoke-control zone. To obtain this, the mock-up building of three-story scale with a total of 10 compartments was constructed, and several apparatus were also installed for in-situ measurement of the ventilation flow rate, pressure difference between compartments, smoke defensive air velocity, the opening-closing force of door, etc. This article show that pressure difference in the smoke-control zone is significantly related with leakage area of vestibule in low pressure region, leakage area of supply air pressure in over pressure region and both of them in pressure control region when the pressure control range of damper is 45 Pa~55 Pa.

The pressurized smoke control system in the vestibule is important for fire safety in buildings because it is concerned with egress time of people and the safety of fire fighters. The vestibule pressurization system can prevent smoke from entering the vestibule using differential pressure when fire doors are closed and using the egress velocity when fire doors are open. Air supplying units in the vestibule need to be arranged by taking account of the location of doors and the volume of the vestibule in order to assure the uniform air egress velocity through a fire door when it is open. In this study, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations were conducted for the vestibule where multiple doors are installed and it was found that the reverse flow occurs when the damper position in vestibule is not appropriate.

This study propose CAE analysis of fire damper and design of the damper control system. Through the design of the damper system for ANSYS-CFX heat transfer. As a result of the analysis, continuance equation of the damper control. Climate system. Finaily, We have obtained a fire damper solution by using orthogonal array. The fire damper of the set of fixture and alveolus are made by using a CAE software. Also, the optimum design offshore structures. The new H-120 class fire damper was designed. In the near future, fire resistance test was carried out to obtain class H-120 thermal insulation of fire dampers according to a hydrocarbon fire conditions. The test results showed that the insulation of the damper blade was an important factor in the fireproof performance of fire dampers concerning the coaming length minimum 500mm on the unexposed side as specified test standard.

Pressurization is a method of ensuring that protected escape routes(staircases and lobbies) are kept free of smoke for shelterers and fire fighters by raising the air pressure in these spaces above that in the main part of the building. In this study, to estimate a pressurization, the characteristics of pressure difference in a room, a lobby, an air supply shaft at several building elements are investigated with a window, the (a fire) door and a air supply damper so that information about the importance of these experimental parameters can be obtained.

This research conducts CAE analysis of fire damper and design of damper controlling system. The prediction of the design heat transfer was done the answer of fire damper could be obtained by using continuity equation of damper controlling and orthogonal array. Through the design analysis of optimal offshore construction, new fire damper of H-120 class was designed. Accordingly, this equipment will be tested in actual offshore construction. Finally, we could obtain fire damper of optimal design with orthogonal array. With the CAE results of this research, The offshore plant will obtain eco-friendly fire damper with a method to select optimal condition of fire damper with orthogonal array.

The aim of this paper is to investigate the change of pressure differential and smoke propagation characteristics in the elevator lobby with the resident's evacuation scenarios using fire modelling technique. The results showed absolute pressures in the fire room and elevator lobby can significantly increase to cause fire door to the stairway unclosed once it is open. This is due to constant pressure differentials, the increasing reference pressure of fire lobby and pressure leak from elevator lobby to fire lobby. Smoke exhaust mechanism was needed to prevent the continuous pressure rise in the living room. Over 200 Pa was expected upon closing the door during pressurization, which provide difficulties in opening the door for next refugee. Opening both fire door and entrance door may induce smoke flow from fire room to elevator lobby and stairway.
