Hot smoke test is done in a subway tunnel. Alcohol trays of 1.0 MW and smoke generators are used for generating hot smoke. The fans equipped with the tunnel are successively run 9 min after smoke generation. It is verified how hot smoke is controlled by fans. Velocity and direction of flow, temperature and smoke density are measured and analyzed for smoke control performance of the tunnel with fans and analyzed from the fire-safety-point of view. Velocity of smoke flow is obtained by using measured velocity and temperature at the ceiling of the tunnel. The time when smoke-control flow is builded up is different for the different positions. Velocity distributions at various positions will be used for the boundaries and the comparison data in numerical simulations for evaluation on smoke-control facilities of subway tunnel.

기존의 화재 감시 시스템은 보통 연기, CO 혹은 온도와 온도의 변화량을 가지고 화재 여부를 판단하였다. 대부분의 각각의 센서에서 측정된 값을 가지고 미리 설정한 값과 비교하여 기준을 넘었을 경우에 화재라고 결정한다.건물 내부에 화재가 발생하였을 경우에는 연기와 고열로 인하여 접근이 어려울 경우가 대부분이다. 사람의 손이 닿지 않는 경우에 화재 감시반 센서모듈을 통하여 고열과 가득한 연기로 인한 내부 환경을 판정하여서 화재상황을 인식하는 방식을 제안한다.

Since the air stream in the room controlled by HVAC system affects on he expected response of conventional detectors which are designed in accordance with normal characteristics of air stream in the fire incident, unexpected operation time delay may occur in fire. In order to solve this problem and to improve sensitivity so that to initiate fire in its early stages for minimizing damage and protecting people, we studied and developed Air Sampling Smoke Detector. The Air Sampling Smoke Detector is a kind of active-type fire detection system. it draws air continuously from the protected area through an air sampling pipe network to the smoke density analyzer. This study presents smoke density analysing technique and air intake balancing technique through an air sampling pipe network. As a result of evaluating, Air Sampling Smoke Detector was much more sensitive than conventional smoke detectors that passively wait for smoke to reach them and was not affected by ambient airflow in the room by means of balanced air intake through the sampling holes.

최근 건축물은 초고층화 대형화 지하심층화 등으로 변모하고, 더나아가 복합화가 진행되고 있다. 이러한 건축물은 화재 발생 시 기존의 건축물보다 큰 인재로서 다가오며, 특히 연기로 인한 피해가 주를 이루고 있다. 하지만 국내에서는 화재시 피난과 연기의 상관성에 대한 연구 중 이론적 연구는 미흡한 편이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 화재시 피난과 연기의 상관성에 대한 연구에 기초자료를 제시하고 향후 피난과 연기의 상관성 연구에 대한 하나의 방안을 제시하고자 한다.

A fire in a clean room may cause a serious loss by spreading smoke particles. The effects of the width of smoke curtains on delay in smoke spread, which is located the work area boundaries, were investigated by using a computational fluid dynamics, for loss prevention by smoke spreading from one fire area to another. The fire scenario was set to a 1 MW methanol fire in a space of $30m\times10m$ floor and 4 m high. Distributions of temperature and smoke particles were compared for the width of the smoke curtains 0 (without smoke curtains), 1, 2, 3m. It was confirmed that a larger width of the smoke curtain delays spread of smoke more, and that making the work areas compartments is necessary to confine the smoke in the fire area.

In this paper, the behavior of the fire smoke due to the operation of the ventilation systems when the fire occurred in the underground station (6 basement floors) and the tunnel at the great depth was measured. Fire smoke was generated by using a smoke generator which realized heat buoyancy effect by using hot air blower. The two locations of the fire were selected on the platform and on the platform of the tunnel located outside the screen door. A ventilation mode is generally used in which smoke is exhausted through a vent hole provided in a platform when a platform fire occurs. The tests were performed by operating the exhaust through the ventilation holes of the tunnel part located at both ends of the platform. The smoke density and the wind speed/velocity were measured at various positions, and the videos were taken to analyze the movement and smoke of the smoke. In both cases for fire inside the platform and in the railway tunnel, due to the ventilation mode operation of the fan for the platform and the exhaust of the fans in the tunnel smoke were well exhausted and the smoke propagation to the area near the smoke zone was suppressed. The smoke-control mode, which is applied to both fans for the platform and fans for in the tunnel at both ends of the platform, can provide a safer evacuation environment to the passengers from the fire smoke when the platform fire or fire train stops.

본 연구에서는 공기를 Fresh-water, 화재를 Salt-water로 치환하여 밀도차에 의한 Salt-water 확산의 화재 모사 적용성을 기초적으로 검증한다. 실험은 Zone model과 Field model의 화재해석 결과 나타난 천장부 확산, 와류 발생, 연기층 하락, 연기층과 공기층의 구분 등의 특징을 분석 기준으로 하며 Salt-water에 Tracer를 첨가하여 PIV(Particle Image Velocity) 분석법을 통해 확산현상에 대해 분석하였다. 결과로 Salt-water의 용해도가 높을수록 천장부 확산, 와류 발생, 연기층 하락, 연기층과 공기층의 구분에 있어 실제 화재와 유사한 것으로 판단되며 최소 15.0%이상의 용해도에서 이와 같은 현상이 뚜렷해지는 것으로 분석되었다. 본 연구를 통해 축소모형 화재 모사시 발열 상태가 아닌 다른 방법으로의 모사가 가능한 것이 증명하였다.

The performance based design in fire detection system, the effect of high airflow and dilution of smoke produced in any fire situation serve to increase the response time of point-type smoke detectors. This study investigated the smoke density of ceiling, under the air stream and in normal status when fire type is smoldering fires. The result of study, smoke generated in the fire was swept away from nearby spot type smoke detector which failed to actuate because dispersed in diluted form around the room. The concept of performance based design in fire detection system of protected area influenced by high airflow provided the need of active fire detection system such as air sampling smoke detection system.

건축물의 화재시 인간의 피난에 가장 영향을 미치는 요인은 연기이다. 연기의 전파에 따라서 피난행태가 달라지고, 피난경로가 변화한다. 국외에서는 이러한 연구의 일환으로 연기의 하강속도에 관하여 연구가 진행되고 있으며, 연기에 대한 피해를 저감하기 위한 노력이 증대되고 있는 상황이다. 따라서 연기하강에 관한 기존의 문헌적인 고찰을 통하여 향후 국내의 연구방향에 관하여 고찰하였다.

This study aims to address the fire characteristics of Double-skin facade using the Fire Dynamics Simulator (FDS). To end this, Double-skin facade was classified into the four structures, that is Box, Shaft-box, Corridor, Multistory, through PyroSim program which was based on FDS, and further each structure of fire characteristics were analyzed numerically as well as comparatively in the current study. This study also examined smoke movement, smoke density, smoke detectors, and visibility in order to closely identify the each structure of fire characteristics. The results of the study discovered that the Box structure did not significantly affect smoke which was rising in the other rooms, except for the fire room whereas the Corridor structure had positive effects on Double-skin facade horizontally. In addition, the Shaft-box structure showed the fastest vertical movement by means of the shaft, on the other hand, rising smoke influenced the other rooms as well. The Multistory structure along with rising smoke had a great impact on the other divided rooms in a vertical way.
