Clean fire extinguishing agents refer to chemical that can replace Halon 1211 and Halon 1310 according to the Montreal Protocol fermented to protect the Earth's ozone layer. In Korea and abroad, system standardization and performance evaluation of clean fire extinguishing agents are being carried out. This paper proposes an optimal nozzle shape by modeling and numerical analysis of various nozzle shapes based on general clean fire extinguishing system. The ejection speed of the nozzle can be improved by studying three - dimensional modeling of the nozzle for two shapes, Type A and B. Flow analysis was performed on the two types of nozzles and the gas velocity and pressure distribution were measured with different nozzle diameters. It was confirmed that the jetting speed was changed at the nozzle outlet according to the number and diameter of the nozzle holes. The flow rate increased with increasing the pressure regardless of the nozzle hole diameter. Based on the results obtained from the experiment, the K-factor value was deduced. Finally, a nozzle with a 12-hole structure with a 5-mm nozzle hole was proposed.

The present study purposed to develop the water mist package system for the cultural properties fire prevention and fire suppression system through analyzing fire protection system and cultural property's characteristic, and to suggest directions for the development of cultural property fire prevention system in the future. Maximum safety with minimum damage has issued a main objective in fire protection of the cultural property in Korea. Two types of the water mist nozzles having a low pressure had been developed by KEI. The one is for inside using in wooden cultural properties, the flow rate is 30~35 l/min and the discharging pressure is 13~14 bar. The other one is for out-side of wooden properties, the flow rate is 25~30 l/min and the discharging pressure is 14~15 bar. To evaluate the nozzles performance test, we made the fire scenario and full-scale model of wooden cultural properties for fire test. The size of full-scale model was 4.9 m length, 4 m wide, 6.6 m height, all was made by wooden. This real fire test results showed that the low pressure water mist nozzles having a $200{\mu}m$ dour size were very effectively fire extinguishing and suppression on wooden cultural properties fire. Even though the oil fuel fire was not extinguished, the fire suppression effects for the during mobilization of fire brigade was enough.

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.

We have conducted a numerical simulation under two-dimensional unsteady conditions in order to analyze the effect according to the injection angle and velocity of the $CO_2$ agent nozzle which is one of the elements for the fixed type $CO_2$ fire extinguishing system installed in a ship on the characteristics of flow and $CO_2$ concentration distribution. The flow fields and concentration fields were measured and analyzed. We can found that the difference of flow patterns according to the conditions of $CO_2$ agent injection nozzle, and in all the conditions of $CO_2$ agent injection nozzle, the iso-concentration line was expanded from the region at which vortex was generated to the surroundings. We can expected that the intensity of the wall jet on the bottom floor was generated differently and the iso-concentration lines were expanded or shrunk according to the angle of $CO_2$ agent injection nozzle. In case of increasing $CO_2$ agent injection velocity maintaining the flow quantity of the $CO_2$ agent injection equally, the iso-concentration line of $CO_2$ agent on bottom floor can be formed more higher than in case of decreasing $CO_2$ agent injection velocity.

Experiments were performed on 140 ml hexane pool fire extinguishment using a twin-fluid nozzle. For this pool fire, the area of the fire source (round shape of 80 mm in diameter) was $0.005027m^2$ and the measured heat release rate was 2.81 kW. The flow rates of water and gas (air and nitrogen) supplied to the twin-fluid nozzle were 156-483 g/min (~0.156-0.483 l/min) and 30-70 l/min, respectively. In the present experimental ranges, the high gas flow rate conditions led to the successful extinguishing of the pool fire. Under the low gas flow rate conditions in the extinguishment regime, the extinguishment time was long and the estimated water consumption was high. Under high gas flow rate conditions, however, the water flow rate conditions did not appear to have a great impact on the extinguishment time and estimated water consumption. On the other hand, in the present experimental ranges, the types of supply gas did not appear to affect the extinguishable flow rate condition, extinguishment time, and estimated water consumption. Finally, using the present experimental results with previous ones using a single-fluid nozzle, the water consumption of twin-fluid and single-fluid nozzles for extinguishing a 140 ml hexane pool fire were preliminarily compared and discussed.

화재에 대한 소화방법으로서는 점화원의 냉각, 산화제 농도의 감소에 의한 화염의 질식 및 제거소화와 부촉매를 이용한 소화법이 있다. 이중 냉각소화방법은 주로 물을 사용하여 화재를 진압하고 있으나, 유류화재와 전기화재 등에서는 물보다 할론소화약제가 효과적으로 사용되어 왔다. 그러나 할론 등 CFC 계통의 소화약제는 환경오염물질을 내포하며, 지구온난화지수와 오존파괴지수 등이 높아 전세계적으로 그 사용이 중단되고 있다. 이에 대한 대체 기술의 하나로 최근에 관심이 고조되기 시작한 소화기술은 분무 노즐을 이용한 미세물분무(water mist) 소화설비이다.(중략)

Spray density of the water spray system which is installed in long road tunnels and hazardous vehicle tunnels is applied without proper performance assessment process. In this study, the requirements of Spray Density Guidelines at the standard pressure is investigated through spray test set up the nozzle of a water spray system in a simulated road tunnel. The results showed that all the nozzles used in the test area did not meet the requirements of the Guidelines. The absence of performance test codes and inspection process on the nozzle at real scale in tunnels may have caused this practice. Therefore, it is suggested that the performance test regulations of the nozzle on the water spray system is established in order to properly assess the system performance.

본 연구에서는 미세 물분무 노즐의 소화성능을 분석하기 위해 유량계수, 방사거리, 방사각도, 그리고 작동압력에 따라 분사되는 물입자 크기를 측정하였다. 이를 위해서 이중 구조의 미세 물분무 노즐 LPN-61과 LPN-63을 제작하였으며, 미분무 소화설비를 구성하여 이중구조 노즐의 형상에 따라서 유동특성을 정량화하였다. 그 결과 LPN-61은 유량계수 5.116, 방사각 $120^{\circ}{\sim}125^{\circ}$로 작동압력이 $4kgf/cm^2$에서 $10kgf/cm^2$까지 증가함에 따라서 SMD는 $127{\mu}m$정도에서 $88{\mu}m$까지 입자 크기가 감소하였으며, LPN-63은 유량계수 5.121, 방사각도 $120^{\circ}{\sim}125^{\circ}$로 동일한 작동압력 범위에서 SMD는 $108{\mu}m$에서 $80{\mu}m$까지 감소하는 것을 확인하였다.
