The occurrence of fire in rack-type warehouses may either lead to the warehouses getting entirely burned up or collapsing. This can be attrubuted to the high height of rack-type warehouses, in which combustibles are generally vertically stacked. These characteristics make it difficult to detect a fire early; because detectors are installed on the ceiling, these fires cannot be extinguished at an early stage. In this study, the flow of heat and smoke generated by a fire in a rack-type warehouse was analyzed using a fire dynamic simulator. Through this analysis, the optimal installation conditions of fire detectors for the early detection of fire in rack-type warehouses were confirmed. The analysis results confirmed that complex detection of heat and smoke is required for the early detection of fire in rack type warehouses. Furthermore, it was found that fixed temperature detectors are not suitable for these warehouses, resulting in the need to install heat-smoke hybrid detectors at every three rack levels.

Flame detectors has been used more than heat & smoke detector, because this is more effective to catch fire and ceiling height in spite of high price. For upgrade to flame detector, Compare to national or abroad standard about performance test, sensitivity test, sectioning indoor or outdoor, after service and management. As a result, Europe and America have only sensitivity test, no have not operation test and sectioning indoor & outdoor. In performance test, action is put to focus to credit and durability, Not operation test is to be able to tune the sensitivity to match the environment of the site. Also, we need code about aftercare, quality assurance responsibility and implement special detector institution by Certificate Authority implement.

For the development of fire detector equipments that was fused independent type of fire detector and a wireless communication function, this paper adopted a signal processing method of an independent formation fire sensor by a ZigBee communication method, and it was designed that the combinations of fire detector and wireless communications network were enabled. When a fire occurred, output voltage of a fire detector was 0.4 V, the movement pulse width was $600{\mu}s$, and that was confirmed by an experiment. When it has lookout state, LED worked by 30 s cycle and working current is 0.12 mA. When a fire occurred, LED worked by 0.5 s cycle and working current was 7 mA, and through this experiment of power source, Chamber tester, smoke tester,IRED, LED lighting, the propriety of the method that we showed in this paper confirmed.

지하구에는 국 가의 신경이라 할 수 있 는 전력, 통신, 상수도 등 주요시설물들이 수용되어 있으며, 지 하구는 화재, 집중호우에 의한 침수, 외부침입 등의 재난에 항상노출되어 있다. 2006년 12월에 발생된 구리 전력구 화재와 2000년 여의도 공동구 화재 등에서 보듯이 화재가 발생하면 화염과 연기, 유독가스로 인해 내부로 진입할 수 없으므로 조기경보 및 조기 대처가 매우 중요하다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 지하구 중에서 통신케이블을 수용하는 통신구의 재난에 조기 대처할 수 있는 통신구 원격감시 시스템에 대해 기술하고자 한다. 통신구 원격감시 시스템은 통신구내의 침입, 침수, 화재 등을 모니터링하여 재난을 미연에 방지할 수 있도록 하고, 각 감지기 및 장치에 설정된 임계치를 초과한 경우 경보 현황을 운용자에게 알려 신속하게 조치할 수 있도록 하였으며, 시스템의 안정성과 확장성, 유지보수의 용이성 등을 고려하여 통합/분산 서버, 데이터 수집장치, 감지기 등 으로 구성 하였고, 시스템간의 연동과 호환성을 위해 표준화된 통신 프로토콜을 사용하였으며, 필요에 따라 감지기 및 장치를 수정, 추가할 수 있도록 개발하였다. 그리고 이를 검증하기 위해 부산지역의 지하철병행통신구 3.8km에 대해 시범설치하여 운용함으로써 시스템의 안정성, 운용성 등에 대해 검증하였다.

화재발생 시 인명 안전을 위하여 초기의 화재감지가 매우 중요한 요인이다. 특히 도로터널, 지하철역사 등 광범위 폐쇄공간에서 연기에 의한 질식사 등 2차 피해의 발생위험이 높다. 이에 최근 광범위 공간에서 적외선 레이저를 활용한 원거리 연기검출 화재탐지기에 대한 연구가 진행되고 있다. 이러한 레이저 기반 원거리 연기검출장치는 이격(100m 이상) 설치되는 레이저 발신기와 수신기의 레이저 포인트가 정확히 정합되어야 한다. 아울러, 레이저 발신기와 수신기 사이의 거리에 비례하여 레이저 초점의 이동거리가 매우 민감하게 변화하므로 이를 정확히 정합하기 위한 고정밀 제어장치가 필요하다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 복수개의 레이저 발신모듈과 복수개의 조도센서(CdS)를 통해 초점의 정합을 자동 추적할 수 있는 알고리즘을 설계, 구현하였다. 이는 초기 레이저 초점의 설정과 이후 외부환경에 따른 초점의 틀어짐을 자동 보정하여 다양한 레이저 인식 장치에 적용될 것으로 사료된다.

In this paper, we propose a fire alarm system that utilizes Wi-Fi to alarm multiple people at once. This system, based on Arduino, uses smoke, flame and temperature sensor units to sense fire and send detection data to a server via wireless communication system. The server uses stored data to relay current fire situations gathered from nearby sensors to smartphones. It also automatically reports the fire using location data from sensors. Using this system, we were able to retrieve fire alarm from sensors via push notification of our smartphone. We also confirmed the establishment of linkage with sensors and automatic report of fire via SMS. From this result, the possibility of sending real-time notifications via the Internet toward nearby smartphones about disasters such as conflagration has been proven to be feasible.

Fire detection system is used for detection and alarm-generation of danger in case of fire. Most fire detection systems being used these days often malfunction from false positive and false negative errors. To improve detection reliability, an integrated fire detection algorithm using multi-senor information of heat, smoke and carbon monoxide detectors is suggested, then built and tested using the LabVIEW environment. Simulated using sensor measurement data offered by National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), possibility of reducing false positive and false negative errors is verified.

This paper was studied on the problem of field inspection tester of the photoelectric type smoke detector. The experiment objects were chosen 3 type's testers such as A type (incense), B type (dimethylpolysiloxane), C type (mixtures of hydrocarbon) which were used for performance checking of the photoelectric type smoke detector for the fire protection. The experimental methods were used reliability verification experiment, performance verification experiment and performance change of fire detector by smoke component. It was confirmed through the experiment that the testers had problems of smoke concentration condition and wind velocity condition and smoke component. Consequently, this paper verified that the field inspection testers of the photoelectric type smoke detector had problems in the inspection of fire protection.

This is a basic study on the development of deep learning-based algorithms to detect smoke before the smoke detector operates in the event of a ship fire, analyze and utilize the detected data, and support fire suppression and evacuation activities by predicting the spread of smoke before it spreads to remote areas. Proposed algorithms were reviewed in accordance with the following procedures. As a first step, smoke images obtained through fire simulation were applied to the YOLO (You Only Look Once) model, which is a deep learning-based object detection algorithm. The mean average precision (mAP) of the trained YOLO model was measured to be 98.71%, and smoke was detected at a processing speed of 9 frames per second (FPS). The second step was to estimate the spread of smoke using the coordinates of the boundary box, from which was utilized to extract the smoke geometry from YOLO. This smoke geometry was then applied to the time series prediction algorithm, long short-term memory (LSTM). As a result, smoke spread data obtained from the coordinates of the boundary box between the estimated fire occurrence and 30 s were entered into the LSTM learning model to predict smoke spread data from 31 s to 90 s in the smoke image of a fast fire obtained from fire simulation. The average square root error between the estimated spread of smoke and its predicted value was 2.74.

In this study we compared corrosion resistance tests which were carried out according to the national technique standard and the UL standard to ensure the reliability of smoke detectors in foul weather. The sensitivity of smoke detectors became so blunt that the least operational smoke concentration was a maximum change of 13% in the national technique standard, while it was a maximum change of 145% in the UL standard. As a result of this study the test method of corrosion resistance was made an objective evaluation in the national technique standard. Therefore it could be said that a basis of developing the test method of corrosion resistance was prepared for our country.
