본 논문에서는 일산화탄소 센서와 미세먼지 센서를 이용하여 연기농도에 따른 감도시험을 수행하였다. 일산화탄소 센서와 미세먼지 센서는 광전식감지기 감도시험 챔버 내에서 발생시킨 연기농도에 따라 감지반응이 있었으며, 다양한 화재정보를 제공을 위해 가스 센서 및 미세먼지 센서가 기술기준 도입이 필요할 것으로 사료된다.

화재감지기는 화재시 발생되는 열, 연기, 불꽃, 독성가스등의 다양한 연소생성물을 감시한다. 기술의 발전으로 화재 감지방식과 기능이 다양해지고 있으며, 이에 따라 다양한 방식의 감지기들이 개발되고 있다. 최근 진보된 감지기들은 화재로 발생 이전에서 부터 감지, 비화재보에 대한 방지는 물론 감지기의 상태 오염 감도 등의 다양 정보를 제공함으로써 유사시 신속하고 정확한 대응이 가능하도록 발전되고 있다. 이러한 진보된 감지기는 막대한 피해가 예상되는 장소, 대피하는데 많은 시간이 소요되는 장소에 적용되어 인명 및 재산피해를 절감 시키고 있다. 일산화탄소감지기 또한 진보된 감지기로 화재 초기 가연물이 연소할 때 발생하는 일산화탄소를 감시한다. 일반화재의 경우 화재 초기에 가연물이 서서히 연소시 불완전 연소로 인한 다량의 일산화탄소가 발생되기 때문에 기존 열, 연기, 불꽃감지기에 비해 빠른 반응을 보여 화재를 조기에 감지함으로써 조기 대응으로 인한 피해를 줄일 수 있을 것이다. 본 연구에서는 실물화재시험 자료를 바탕으로 CO감지기의 조기 감시능력을 확인하였다. CO감지기는 화재초기 발생되는 일산화탄소를 감지하므로 대피시간이 많이 필요한 장소(병원 노인요양시설 학교 백화점 등), 침대 폼메트리스 훈소화재 발생장소(호텔침실 기숙사 숙박업소, 병실 등)등에 적응성이 우수할 것으로 분석된다. 최근 설계되는 초고층 건축물 및 주요 시설물 등에서 화재 시뮬레이션과 가상시나리오 유형 분석을 통해 성능위주의 설계가 적용되고 있다. 그만큼 정확하고 신속한 감지가 중요하다 할 수 있다. CO감지기야 말로 그 기대에 가장 부합될 것으로 분석된다.

Purpose: The called Aero System is important to find the well detected place in the livingroom or bedroom so, it needs to the confirmation through the Fire Dynamics Simulation Method: A fire simulation of a residential space of 59 m² was performed, and in order to find the point where the fire environment was exposed quickly, measuring points were installed at 0.6 m and 1.5 m in height for each bedroom and living room, and the point where the fire was quickly detected was confirmed. Result: It was confirmed that the temperature and carbon monoxide sensor set at a point of 1.5 m was quickly detected at the reference value. Conclusion: The Fire detection would be relatively quick if the product in which the fire extinguishing module and the AQI module were separated was installed on the wall.

We devised the system to automatically shutdown the boiler and to fundamentally block the harmful gases, including carbon monoxide, into the indoor when the exhaust system swerves: (1) The discharge pressure of the exhaust gas decreases when the exhaust pipe is disconnected. The monitoring system of the exhaust pipe is implemented by measuring the output voltage of APS(Air Pressure Sensor) installed to control the amount of combustion air. (2) The operating software was modified so that when the system recognizes the fault condition of a flue pipe, the boiler control unit displays the fault status on the indoor regulator while shutting down the boiler. In accordance with the ventilation facility standards in the "Rules for Building Equipment Standards" by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, experiments were conducted to ventilate indoor air. When carbon monoxide leaked in worst-case scenario, it was possible to prevent poisoning accidents. However, since 2013, the number of indoor air exchange times has been mitigated from 0.7 to 0.5 times per hour. We observed the concentration exceeding TWA 30 ppm occasionally and thus recommend to reinforce this criterion. In conclusion, if the flue pipe fault detection and the indoor air ventilation system are introduced, carbon monoxide poisoning accidents are expected to decrease significantly. Also when the manufacturing and inspection steps, the correct installation and repair are supplemented with the user's attention in missing flue, it will be served to prevent human casualties from carbon monoxide poisoning.

The cooling water circulation pipes had been used to drop the temperature of refractory outside shell of blast furnace by cooling plate or stave type. They were attacked by surrounding CO gas and it was the cause that they were corroded and the water inflow in the refractory due to leakage of water. So, the life of refractory material was shorten and changed for the worse the conditions of blast furnace. The automatic sensing device for water leakage of cooling pipe was developed to check the position of trouble by use the micro-process system when cooling water leak and then CO gas will be inflowed into the cooling pipe at the leakage position. The inflowed CO gas will be detected in the micro-process system and delivered the detected position of cooling plate or stave to main control room through the wireless-radio relay station. This system can be possible to detect the position of cooling plate or stave the water leakage part immediately and then deliver the signal to main control room by use the micro-process system and wireless-radio relay station. This system will develop the working condition from manual system to unmanned auto alarm system.

Highly-porous $SnO_2$thin films were prepared for recognizing and detecting of the inflammable gases, like butane, propane, LPG, carbon monoxide. To obtain sensing films, Sn, Pt/Sn, Au/Sn, and Pt,Au/Sn films were deposited employing a thermal evaporator for Sn film and a sputter for novel metals of Pt or/and Au. These films were annealed for 2 h at $700^{\circ}C$ to form $SnO_2$-based thin films. The films showed the tetragonal structure and also exhibited many defects and porosity, which could give high sensitivity to thin films. The thin films showed high sensitivity and reproductivity to the tested gases(butane, propane, LPG, and carbon monoxide) to even to low gas concentrations in range of workplace environmental standards. Especially, Pt/$SnO_2$film showed the highest sensitivity to butane, LPG, and carbon monoxide. And pure $SnO_2$ film manifested the highest sensitivity to propane. By using the sensing patterns from the films, we could reliably recognize the kinds and the quantities of the tested inflammable gases within the range of the threshold limit values(TLV) and the lower explosion limit(LEL) through the principal component analysis(PCA).

Copper(II) oxide (CuO), electroless plated on a nitrogen-containing carbon sponge prepared by a melamine sponge thermal treatment, was developed as a nitric oxide (NO) gas sensor that operates without a wafer. The CuO content on the surface of the carbon sponge increased as the plating time increased, but the content of nitrogen known to induce NO gas adsorption decreased. The untreated carbon sponge showed a maximum resistance change (5.0%) at 18 min. On the other hand, the CuO plated sample (CuO30s-CS) showed a maximum resistance change of 18.3% in 8 min. It is considered that the improvement of the NO gas sensing capability was caused by the increase in hole carriers of the carbon sponge and improved movement of electrons due to CuO. However, the NO gas detection resistance of the CuO electroless plated carbon sponge for 60 s decreased to 1.9%. It is considered that the surface of the carbon sponge was completely plated with CuO, resulting in a decrease in the NO gas adsorption capacity and resistance change. Thus, CuO-plated carbon sponge can be used as an effective NO gas sensor because it has fast and excellent resistance change properties, but CuO should not be completely plated on the surface of the carbon sponge.

A high temperature tolerant microelectronic-based carbon monioxde(CO) gas sensor has been developed. The gas sensing performance has been studied over a wide temperature range$(100-300^\circ{C)}$. The gas sensitivity of the sensor is high, its initial sensing behavior is very fast, and the sensor is reproducible. Pt-SiC and $Pt-SnO_2-SiC$ diodes are fabricated using standard semiconductor processes and their CO gas-sensing behaviors are analyzed as a function of CO gas concentration and temperature by I-V and $\Delta{I-t}$ methods under steady-state and transient conditions. The sensitivity of the device with $Pt-SnO_2$ catalytic gate is higher than that of the Pt gate. The experimental results indicate that $SnO_2$ layer improves the catalytic reaction of the Pt layer.

The purpose of this study is to test the adaptability of the CO sensor as a fire detector by analyzing its sensing characteristics on fire. In order to test the applicability, we designed and made a fire testing ground whose size is similar to that regulated by UL 268, carried out real fire tests suggested by UL 268, and conducted a comparison analysis on the sensing characteristics between the CO sensor and a photoelectric smoke detector by different types of fire source. The experiment result to the sensing characteristics of the CO sensor is about twice to three times faster than that of the photoelectric smoke detector, proceeding with incomplete combustion such as paper and wood fire source in the initial fire. Especially in case of wood smoldering fire, sensing characteristics of the CO sensor is very excellent.
