A basic sprinkler system is a fire extinguishing system that can be easily installed in a fire-vulnerable place such as a publicly used establishments. However, the publicly used establishments are not only complicated in structure, but also have a large amount of flammable interior materials, and the users are not normally in a normal state, which is a very dangerous fire-fighting object. Therefore, due to the low fire extinguishing performance of the basic sprinkler system installed in the publicly used establishments, the fire suppression control can not be performed quickly in case of fire, which may increase the life and property damage. In this study, the cases of quantitative changes of extinguishing water used in basic sprinkler system and the cases of addition of additives such as wetting agents, reinforced agents to improve extinguishing performance were compared. Experimental results showed that the extinguishing performance was improved as the quantity of extinguishing water increase and the reinforced agents showed similar performance to that of 60% increase in the amount of extinguishing water. The cooling time to $200^{\circ}C$ and oxygen concentration were improved up to 14.3% and 34.5%, respectively. In the case of using the wetting agent, the cooling time to $200^{\circ}C$ and oxygen concentration did not show any significant improvement, but showed the effect of preventing deep seated fire. In order to prevent loss of life and property, it is necessary to improve the performance of the basic sprinkler system by increasing amount of extinguishing water or using additives like reinforced agents.

기존의 범용적인 분말 소화기 또는 가스계 소화장치와는 달리, 특정 성분의 고체 물질이 연소할 때 발생하는 알칼리 금속염이 함유된 에어로졸 형태의 고농도 소화성분으로 화재를 진압하는 자동소화 장치를 개발하였다. 이 장치는 화재발생 시 자동으로 작동되며, 이때 방출되는 에어로졸은 입자 크기가 $1.0{\mu}g$ 이하로 매우 작아 우수한 소화성능을 나타내며, 또한 지구 환경에 영향을 미치는 유해성분을 포함하지 않는 환경 친화적인 차세대 자동소화장치이다.

The purpose of this study is to analyse the characteristics and spreading laws of parameters such as fire smoke, concentration of CO, visibility, and temperature at fire scene in high-rise residential buildings under the different conditions of fire doors and automatic fire extinguishing systems. Using Pyrosim to simulate diverse fire scenes in a high-rise apartment with corridors, to analyze the changes in those parameters. The results show that when a fire occurs, closing the fire-fighting corridor will increase the smoke temperature and concentration of CO in the stairwell, and reduce the height and visibility of the smoke layer; the automatic fire extinguishing system effectively suppresses the increase in the temperature of the fire smoke and the sedimentation of the smoke layer. Reasonable setting and operation of the automatic fire extinguishing system could effectively inhibit the spread of fire. Although closing fire corridor can slow down the direct upward spread of smoke through the corridor, it will force the fire smoke into the stairwell, which will seriously affect evacuation through the stairs. Therefore, in order to reduce risks, it is forbidden to close the fire doors of the firefighting corridor and stacking combustible materials in the corridor, Also, intensifying inspections and ensuring the normal operation of the automatic fire extinguishing system are indispensable. Based on the research results, the significance of installing fire-fighting facilities in the construction of high-rise apartments was discussed and proved.

자동차의 엔진룸의 내부를 살펴보면 여러 가지의 장치 및 장비가 복잡하게 설치되어 있고 각종 오일 등의 인화물질을 포함하고 있어 재발화 가능성이 매우 높다. 또한, 폭발가능성도 높기 때문에 운전자나 탑승자가 보닛을 열고 엔진룸에 직접 분말 소화기를 분사하는 방식으로는 한계가 있다. 따라서 엔진룸 내부에서 화재를 감지하여 소화약제를 분사한 뒤, 화재를 진화하는 소화시스템과 엔진룸 내부의 고열에 견딜 수 있고, HFC-227ea를 포함하는 충분한 점성을 가진 폼 형태의 소화약제를 개발 및 시험하였다. 그리고 포소화약제가 가지고 있는 소화원리인 질식 및 냉각효과와 HFC-227ea가 가진 부촉매효과를 동시에 이끌어 내고, 소화 후에도 분말 소화기처럼 잔존물에 의한 2차 피해가 없는 맞춤형 소화약제를 개발하였으며, 차량을 이용한 충돌실험을 통하여 방출이 완료된 후에도 이물질 없이 소화약제를 제거할 수 있는 장점이 존재하는 실험결과를 획득하였다.

Viscosity agents were added to water to improve extinguishing performance of low pressure water mist suppression system on wood cribs fire, and a small scale wood cribs fire experiment was conducted to measure the extinguishing performance. CMC and agar were used for viscosity agent and as the amount of viscosity agent enlarges, it showed the increase of the viscosity of aqueous solution and the decrease of the fluidity. On wood cribs fire experiment, the extinguishing efficiency was improved with supplemental viscosity agent as it enhanced the adhesive time of aqueous solution on the wood, and therefore expanded the contact time of fire surface. The surface tension of aqueous solution was decreased with the addition of agar which to be assumed as an increase factor of extinguishing efficiency. By the extinguishing experimental result, the most effective extinguishing agent was CMC 0.6 wt.%, with the flame suppression time and the extinguishing time were reduced by 70s and 93s respectively at this concentration.

Modern society shows rapid growth that is different from that of the development of existing technologies. The development of these technologies has led to the tendency of buildings to become dense, large and advancing. Regarding fire hazards, the possibility of large-scale fires causing fatal damage, due to the rapid spread of fire, increases. Therefore, for this reason, fire defense, i.e. detection and fire extinguishing facilities, in buildings are essential and well applied. But there are always limitations to that. Based on this reason, we would like to suggest the introduction of a new concept of a fire safety system. The method presented here is not only to use a single system for fire detection and fire extinguishing systems but to jointly use it in the environment and energy management fields within the building. However, an important step is required before introducing a system of these technologies. The fire extinguishing method proposed by this system is a method of extinguishing by blocking oxygen flowing into the space where the fire occurred. However, a sufficient basis is needed for this system to be applied in practice. Therefore, in this study, we intend to conduct a preliminary experiment to introduce the new concept of fire detection and extinguishing. The experiment used ethanol with a relatively simple combustion reaction and a high possibility of complete combustion. As a result, it was confirmed how the internal values changed during a fire using ethanol. Resultingly, we obtained the internal oxygen concentration and internal environmental changes according to the initial flame size. Lastly, the data accumulated in this study can be used as data for application in an automatic fire extinguishing system.

Dry water is a core-shell structured powder which comprises a very fine water core covered with hydrophobic silica particles. Recently, the dry water has attracted attention as a new type of fire extinguishing agents. However, characteristics of the dry water as a fire extinguishing agent have not been revealed until now. To our best knowledge, this is the first work to uncover effects of particle size of the dry water on the fire extinguishing performance. Pristine dry water, which has heterogeneous particle size distribution, was carefully separated by sieving method into three fractions which were a small size (ca. $110{\mu}m$) fraction, a medium size (ca. $220{\mu}m$) fraction and a large size (ca. $400{\mu}m$) fraction. Microscopic observations confirmed the effective separation of dry water's particle size. In extinguishing tests of wood cribs fire, the medium size dry water showed most excellent fire extinguishing performance, as compared to other dry waters having small (ca. $110{\mu}m$) and large (ca. $400{\mu}m$) particle size. The good performance of the medium size (ca. $220{\mu}m$) dry water may be attributed to the balance between cooling effect of the water core and smothering effect of the silica particles. It is also revealed that small size dry water has poor flowability than large size dry water.

본 연구에서는 형식이 각기 다른 3종류의 미분무수 노즐을 사용하여 방사높이와 화염의 위치 변화에 따른 소화성능 실험과 포 소화약제를 혼합한 소화성능 실험을 수행했다. 소화성능 실험에서는 미분무수 노즐의 높이를 4m, 3.5m, 3m로 변화를 주었으며 연료 팬을 노즐 중심으로부터 0m, 0.5m, 1m의 변화를 주었다. 포 소화약제는 3%형 AFFF(Aqueous Film Forming Foam)를 사용하였다. 실험결과 개구부의 유무는 소화에 미치는 영향이 적었으며, 포 소화약제를 혼합한 미분무수의 소화성능은 약제를 혼합하지 않은 경우에 비하여 우수하였다.
