목조한옥은 가연성의 재질로 구성되어 있어 화재라는 측면에서 취약하며, 방화의 경우 화재의 성상 초기부터 화원의 규모가 다양하게 나타날 수 있다. 본 연구는 국내 목조문화재의 화재 소화에 적용하고 있는 저압의 미분무 소화시스템의 소화성능을 확인하기 위하여 소화실험을 수행하였다. 소화실험의 유형은 화원의 규모별 및 한옥의 규모별로 구분하였고 소화시간을 확인하여 소훼의 정도를 평가하였다. 실험결과 소화성능이 문화재 규모에서 중요한 차이는 없었으며, 화원의 규모가 0.5단위 이하의 작은 화재에 대하여 소화효과가 나타났고, 화원의 규모가 1단위 이상에서는 소화능력이 현저히 부족하였다. 실제 목조문화재의 화재 성장 환경이 소화실험 모형보다 취약하다는 측면을 고려해볼 때, 미분무 소화설비를 목조한옥에 대한 범용 자동소화설비로 적용하기 위하여 소화성능 면에서 충분한 검증이 요구된다.

The sprinkler system is a basic fire extinguishing system widely used, but there is a lack of quantitative assessment of its performance. In this study, to evaluate the fire extinguishing performance of the sprinkler head according to the discharge coefficients, experiments were conducted. Experimental sprinkler heads were selected with heads having K50, K80 and K115 water discharge coefficients, and the fire source was assumed to be an indoor fire in Class A Model 1. As experimental results, the time required for the fire chamber to cool down to $200^{\circ}C$ was 26 seconds for the K115 head, 414 seconds for the K80 head, and 481 seconds for the K50 head, so the cooling time of the K115 head was decreased by 94.5% compared to K50 head. In the case of restoring the oxygen concentration to 15%, the K115 head did not decrease below the oxygen concentration of 15%, and the K80 head took 145 seconds and the K50 head took 484 seconds. The lowest oxygen concentration in the fire chamber was 16.1% for the K115 head, 14.33% for the K80 head, and 11.28% for the K50 head, indicating that the K115 head was superior to the K80 and K50 heads by 13.1% and 43.7%, respectively. As the experimental results show, there is big difference in the extinguishing performance depending on the discharge coefficients of the sprinkler head. Therefore, in designing the sprinkler system, the discharge coefficients of the sprinkler head should be selected considering the heat release rate at the installation site and the fire extinguishing characteristics of sprinkler head.

The sandwich panel is commonly used domestically because it's less costly and easier to handle. But fires have frequently occurred in buildings employing sandwich panels, such as the fires in Eecheon cold storage and in Gwangju Pyungdong industrial zone. Sandwich panels with steel plates on their surface prevent fire water from penetrating to the fire source, which makes it difficult to extinguish a fire in a timely manner. Toxic gas generated from some insulation material leads to serious loss of life and property. This study is intended to develop an extinguishing system for sandwich panels, thereby reducing the fire risk. Fire water and volume were determined in the wake of the study on the structure of a sandwich panel extinguishing system, and improvement and testing of the fire characteristics of the sandwich panel. Based on such study and test, a fire model test was conducted. Consequently, the sandwich panel with extinguishing system was proven to have a reduced fire risk, compared to traditional or fire retardant panels.

이산화탄소는 다른 어떤 가스계 소화약제보다도 화재를 안전하게 진압하는 소화약제로서 다양한 방호구역과 화재에 대하여 널리 사용되고 있다. 성능위주설계 개념에 따라 이산화탄소 소화설비는 설계 단계에서 해당 방호구역의 발생 가능한 화재시나리오에 따라 소화성능을 확인할 필요가 있다. 본 연구에서는 $100m^3$의 체적을 갖는 기계실의 석유 유출(설계)화재시 개구부의 크기가 $CO_2$ 소화설비의 소화성능과 유동장의 유동특성에 미치는 영향을 조사하기 위하여 CFD 시뮬레이션을 수행하였다. 소화완료 시간은 개구부의 면적 크기에 비례하여 증가하였고, 3가지 화재모델의 소화완료 시간 모두 $CO_2$ 소화설비의 성능기준에 부합하였다. 개구부의 질량 유동율은 화재 열방출과 $CO_2$ 소화약제 분사의 복합적인 작용에 의해 영향을 받았다. $CO_2$ 소화약제 분사 완료 후 방호구역의 산소농도는 화재모델 모두 연소한계산소농도 보다 적었다.

이산화탄소 소화설비는 질식소화가 주된 소화작용이므로 제한된 시간 내에 소화약제를 방출하여 방호구역의 산소농도를 기준치 이하로 유지시키는 능력이 확보되어야 한다. 국내에서 이산화탄소 소화설비는 국민안전처 고시에 따라 인증된 설계프로그램을 사용하여 소화설비를 설계하고 있다. 그러나 소화설비가 설치된 방호구역의 기하학적 구조는 성능인증 단계의 모의실험장치와 차이가 있기 때문에 설계프로그램 적용 범위를 벗어난 소화설비 설계가 이루어질 수 있다. 특히, 저압식 이산화탄소 소화설비는 배관 내 유동현상에 따라 소화약제 방출량이 변하므로 소화설비 설치 후에 현장 방출시험을 통하여 성능을 확인할 필요가 있다. 현재까지 국내 외 기술기준에는 방출시험에 대한 방법론이 구체적으로 명시되어 있지 않다. 본 논문에서는 국내외 기술기준을 비교 분석하고, 방출시험 사례분석을 통하여 현장 방출시험 방법론을 제시하였다.

In the present study, the numerical investigation has been carried out to see the effects of water mist sprays on the fire suppression mechanism. The special-purposed program named as FDS was used to simulate the interaction of fire plume and water mists. This program solves the fire-driven flows using LES turbulence model, the mixture fraction combustion model, the finite volume method of radiation transport for a non-scattering gray gas, and conjugate heat transfer between wall and gas flow. The computational domain was composed of a rectangular space dimensioned as $L{\times}W{\times}H=4.0{\times}4.0{\times}2.5\;m^3$ with a mist-injecting nozzle installed 1.0 m high from the fire pool. In this paper, two types of nozzles were chosen to compare the performance of the fire suppression. Numerical results showed that the nozzle, type A, with more orifices having smaller diameters had poorer performance than the other one, type B because the flow injected through side holes deteriorated the primary flow. The fire-extinguishing time of type A was 2.6 times bigger than that of type B.

The $CO_2$ suppression characteristics and flame structure of nitrogen-diluted methane counterflow non-premixed flame were studied experimentally and numerically. To mimic a situation where combustion product gases are entrained into a compartment fire, fuel stream was diluted with $N_2$. A gas-phase suppression agent, $CO_2$, was diluted in the air-stream to investigate the suppression characteristics by the agent. For numerical simulation, an one-dimensional OPPDIF code was used for comparison with experimental results. An optically-thin radiation model(OTM) was adopted to consider radiation effects on the suppression characteristics. It was confirmed experimentally and numerically that suppression limit decreased with increasing nitrogen mole fraction in the fuel stream. A turning point was found only when a radiation heat loss was considered and the extinguishing concentration for turning point was differently predicted compared to the experiment result. Critical extinguishing concentration when neglecting radiation heat loss was also differently predicted compared with the experimental result.

The present study investigated the effect of fire suppression using a mid-low pressure water mist in a carriage fire. The fire extinguishing time and temperature distributions below ceiling in the enclosed compartment of $2.9m{\times}2.8m{\times}5.0m$ were measured by stopwatch and k-type thermocouples for various fire positions. The numerical simulations were extensively performed using. Fire Dynamics Simulator(FDS, Ver. 4.0) code and the predictions were compared with experimental data. The prediction results showed good agreement with the measured maximum temperature in the all cases. Whereas the predicted temperature was about $40^{\circ}C$ higher than the measured one after operating of water mist. The predicted fire extinguishing times were compared with those of measured data. Fires are extinguished within 200 seconds at the experiment in Case 2 and Case 3. But in Case 1 fire was not extinguished in the numerical simulation. The reason of the discrepancy between predicted and measured data was that a simple suppression algorithm has been implemented in FDS. Also, various databases of fire properties for combustible materials and more elaborate model considering the water mist were required fur better predictions of the cooling and suffocation effect.

Recently rotary-arc, thermal expansion and their composite interrupters are widely used in the distribution power system because they have lots of advantages in making the larger interrupting capacity, the smaller size, the lighter weight and the less surge. A model interrupter of rotary-arc type, which has constant stroke and thermal expansion volume, was studied by varying the design parameters, i.e. the number of turns of the driving coil, the inner diameter of the moving contact, the gas pressure and the shape of the fixed contact for this project. Short cicuit current interrupting tests were conducted to the model interrupters by varying the requirements from 42% to 175% of the test voltage, interrupting current and transient recovery voltage for the test duty No.4 of 7.2kV 12.5kA single phase test. The pressure rise, minimum and maximum arcing times were analyzed for each model interrupter. All types of model interrupters showed good interrupting performances and sufficient design margins for the ratings.
