  • In this study, seismic design in sprinkler head pipeline of water extinguishing system has been carried out. This study describes a generation of artificial earthquake wave compatible with seismic design spectrum, and also analyzed the dynamic response spectra by the simulated earthquake motion. This study constructed powerful engineering base for seismic design, and presented seismic design techniques of water and gas extinguishing piping system. Also, this study readied basis that can apply seismic design and performance estimation of fire fighting system and performance rating as well as pipeline of water extinguishing system from result of this research. Hereafter, if additional research by earthquake magnitude and ground kind is approached, reliance elevation, safety raising and performance based design of fire fighting system see to achieve.

  • A study to evaluate the fire extinguishing performance of the water mist system inside simulated machinery spaces according to IMO MSC/Circ.668 was performed. Fire tests were conducted inside a compartment having a area 100$m^2$(10m${\times}$10m) with a ceiling height of 10m and door opening of 2m${\times}$2m in size. Test fuels were used heptane, diesel, wood crib and mineral oil. Water mist nozzles were installed downward at ceiling and horizontally at bilge area. All fires in the test were extinguished within 15minutes of system activation and there was no reignition or fire spread.

  • This paper investigates and analyzes the installation and failure status of mold transformer being used in domestic subways and describes the extinguishing process by time through the combustion test of winding part of mold transformer. Condition of installed mold transformers and classes of fire were surveyed and the mold transformer was burned in a horizontal heating furnace. It was confirmed that the mold transformer is self extinguishing and nonflammability. According to this results, the suitable standard of fire protection for the mold transformer was demanded after review of domestic and abroad law. It is expected that the cost of fire protection equipment can be reduced by using the status and combustion test result of mold transformer.
