Evaporation cooling phenomena of droplets containing fire suppression agents on a hot metal surface were experimentally investigated. Solution of water containing potassium acetate (30-50% by weight) and sodium bromide (10-30% by weight) were used in the experiments, and surface temperatures were ranged from 70-116$^{\circ}C$. The evaporation time of the droplet on the heated surface was determined by using frame-by-frame analysis of the video records. It is found that the apparent evaporation time is shorter in turns of pure water, sodium bromide solution and potassium acetate solution. However, the time averaged heat flux is higher in turns of pure water, sodium bromide solution and potassium acetate solution. In-depth temperature variation of the hot metal does not occur significantly by the kinds of additive.

Numerical investigation has been performed to simulate the spray characteristics in mist-spray fire suppression nozzles in sense of design parameters. Two key shape factors in nozzle orifices. i.e. diameter and length are chosen as simulation parameters. Commercial softwares, FLUENT and FDS with the proper modelings were applied as numerical tools. Main performances of nozzles, i.e., K-factors, spray angles, droplet size, jet velocities and fire suppression time are analyzed for each parameter to find optimal design conditions.

In the event of a fire, fire engines usually arrive within 15 minutes and become a fire suppressor. In this paper, an analytical model was established to evaluate the salt damage resistance of concrete according to fire suppression time, and the concentration of salt inside the concrete after fire was measured and the time to reach the critical concentration was assessed by how short.

In this study, response time index(RTI) of standard and quick response type sprinkler head are measured and compared through ramp and plunge test in heated wind tunnel. Also discharge rate and water distribution, actual delivered density(ADD), fire test with wood cribs are performed to compare the fire suppression capability and the operation time and temperature between standard and quick response type sprinkler head.

주도적인 능동형 소화방식인 폐쇄형 스프링클러설비는 산업설비뿐만 아니라 원자력발전소의 화재를 제어하거나 진압하기 위한 목적으로도 사용된다. 가장 적절한 소화설비를 선택하였을 때 열감지부의 적절한 동작을 보장할 수 있다라는 사실은 언급할 필요도 없을 것이다. 따라서, 이론과 경험적인 접근에 의하여 열감지부의 동적특성에 대한 적절할 평가가 수행되어야 한다. 이러한 목적으로 용융식 스프링클러 헤드의 동작시간을 단순화재성장의 경우와 시간의 자승에 비례하는 화재성장의 경우에 대하여 비교하였다. 이 논문에서는 비교의 결과와 감지부의 열적 동작 경향을 제시하였다. 더 나아가 스프링클러 헤드의 동작시간을 예측함에 있어 가장 적절한 수식에 대한 기술적인 평가를 제시하였다. 또한 성능기반의 화재방호기술 접근분야에서 가장 실질적으로 적용할 수 있는 시간 자승의 수식을 사용할 때 반영하여야 할 일부 아이디어를 함께 제시하였다.

A general description of sprinkler activation time in compartment-fire-generated smoke layers is made. For calculation of the time hot layer temperature is obtained from two-layer zonal model and time constant of sprinkler is measured. Upper-layer thickness at the instant of sprinkler activation is also presented with changes of opening area. The outputs of the present study provide inputs for the interaction modeling of sprinkler spray and compartment fire environment, which simulates fire suppression phenomena.

Fire suppression using a water mist nozzle directly above an n-Heptane pool in a fire compartment with a door opening was numerically investigated using the Fire Dynamics Simulator (FDS) for the purpose of application in nuclear power plants. Input parameters for the numerical simulation were determined by experimental measurements. Water mist was activated 10 s after the fire began. The sensitivity analysis was conducted for three input parameters: total number of cubic cells of 6032-2,926,400, droplets per second of 1000-500,000, and extinguishing coefficient of 0-100. In a new simple calibration method of this study, the extinguishing coefficient yielding the fire suppression time closest to that measured by experiments was found for use as the FDS simulation input value. When the water mist jet flow made contact with the developed fire, the heat release rate instantaneously increased, and then rapidly decreased. This phenomenon occurred with a displacement of the flame near the liquid fuel pool. Changing the configuration of the door opening with different aspect ratios and opening ratios had impact on the maximum value of the heat release rate due to the flame displacement.

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.

A series of experiments were conducted to study the effectiveness of the extinction of a liquid pool fire with two different water atomizing nozzles. Fire source is a small-scale circular stainless steel pan of 120mm in diameter with the fuels of hexane and ethanol. K-type thermocouples were used to measure the flame and fuel temperature along the pool centerline and under fuel surface. A digital camera was used to visualize the process of the fire suppression. The experimental results show that water mist droplet size is l15∼180${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ with nozzle A and 130∼190${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ with nozzle B. The extinguishing time of pool fire was reduced with the increase of pressure. When water droplets are small, they do not reach the flame base since they may be deflected or evaporated by the fire plume. However, influence of flow rate is more important than droplet size on fire extinction. Among the fire extinction mechanisms, drop of flame temperature is superior to suffocation of $O_2$ concentration.

본 연구에서는 진주시지역의 소방서(5개 119안전센터, 1개 119지역대)를 대상으로 GIS의 네트워크 분석을 이용하여 진주시에 위치한 소방서의 화재진압출동시간별 서비스현황을 분석하였다. 그 결과 진주시 전체 소방서비스면적 중 출동시간 5분 이내 비율은 15.9%, 8분 이내 비율 34.7%, 20분 이내 비율 94%로 나타났으며, 20분 이상인 지역도 6%에 이른 것으로 분석되었다. 특히, 시외곽지역(진성, 지수, 사봉, 일반성, 이반성면 일대)의 소방서비스 접근 취약성을 해결하기 위하여 일반성면에 119지역대가 증설되어 운영되고 있지만 접근성은 여전히 낮은 수준에 머무르고 있다. 또한 천전 119안전센터의 경우 국가산업단지와 일반산업단지가 대규모로 조성되고 있으나 해당 지역의 소방서비스 수준을 분석해 보면 도달시간이 8분 이상 20분 이내지역이 넓게 존재하고 있었다. 이상의 진주시 소방서비스권역을 화재진압출동시간으로 분석한 결과 지방중소도시에서 도농통합에 의해 행정구역이 통합되어 관할지역이 크게 확장된 것에 비하여 소방서비스수준은 도농통합이전의 상태를 크게 벗어나지 못하고 있어서 이에 대한 개선대책이 필요하다.
