This study conducted Testing, Adjusting, and Balancing (TAB), which is a type of field performance evaluation experiment of a zone smoke-control system, at a railway underground transit passage installed with a zone smoke- control system to find problems and improvements for ensuring performance. TAB for the smoke control system was classified into several procedures, such as design data review, duct leakage test, field measurement of the airflow rate, velocity of the fan and duct, and a smoke test. Through the duct leakage test, the system leakage ratio was examined to prove the duct sealing. The iImprovement of the smoke control airflow problems due to the lack of fan static pressure loss was the secured performance. The performance of the smoke control fan was secured by improvements of the smoke control airflow rate problems caused by the loss of static pressure in the intake duct. The smoke test in the smoke control zone confirmed that the damper operating schedule subject was influenced by natural wind or train wind.

The new HVAC system is developed to lower the conveyance energy and building height using IAV(Increasing Air Volume) technique. IAV units which are equipped in each zone carry out air-conditioning and supply fresh air by induction of outdoor air in main duct. The design program which decides size of OAHU and IAV unit according to air conditioning load and fresh air demand of each zone is presented. The control system is developed to operate efficiently HVAC system and IAV unit, so that individual zone operation and well-deal with partial load and IAQ problem are possible. The new system is investigated in model building and makes more profit in conveyance energy. size of air conditioning facilities room and building height than VAV system. But in construction cost it is worse by about 15 percentage.

In this study, smoke filling behaviors in a large space were investigated. For experimental study, thermocouples were used to measure the temperature of the hot gases layer and also to determine the smoke layer depth. Height markers were also hung from the roof so that observers could visibly assess the smoke layer depth. Ethanol was used as fuel. The smoke filling times were predicted with zone model and field model and numerical results were compared with experimental data. Good results were obtained.

Smoke and fire spread throughout the building as a result of problems in the fire prevention section of Uijeongbu Apartment Fire in 2015 and Jecheon Sports Center Fire in 2017 in Korea, causing a number of casualties. It is believed that the fire compartment standards need to be reviewed as the fire in recent buildings continues to show problems. In this study, a comparative analysis was conducted on the fire prevention zone standard with Japan to improve the fire compartmente standard in Korea.

There is fire dangers inside engine bay where fuel of oil leakge can be ignited by hot engine surfaces. So, Fire suppressor is needed to extinguish the flames. The current FAA requirement is that the concentration level should be greater than 6% by volume throughtout the protected zone for longer than a half second simultaneously. To Satisfy the FAA requirement, The Fire extinguish system should quickly delivery the fire extinguish agents and Fire extinguish system should be designed effectively. This study is to develop and simulate the injection of fire extinguish agents into the engine-bay. Transient simulations were performed and predicted the concentration of fire extinguish agents at the certain locatioin in the engine-bay.

A recent trend shows that more buildings are being constructed as mixed-use (residential and commercial) properties for efficient land use. This has led to an increased frequency in the occurrence of fires and the associated potential risks. In particular, in case of high-rise apartments, at least one of the elevators in each building is installed for evacuation purposes separately from the emergency elevator; therefore, for a combined ancillary room and emergency elevator platform situation, the structure is inevitably in series with the evacuation elevator platform. Thus, a proposal for a new type of ventilation zone based on existing national fire safety codes is required to achieve smoke control performance. To this end, the air egress velocity and differential pressure of each ventilation zone are checked using the "CONTAM" software; further, an alternative is proposed to secure smoke control performance for series structures.

In this paper, we propose a central disaster monitoring system of the forest fire. This system provides the safe-zone and detection to reduce the suppression efforts. In existing system, it has a few providing the predicting of wildfire spread model and speed through topography, weather, fuel factor. This paper focus on the forest fire diffusion model and predictions of the path identified to ensure the safe zone. Also we have considering the forest fire of moving direction and speed for fire suppression and monitering. The proposed algorithm could provide the technique to analyze the attribute information that temperature, wind, smoke measured over time. This proposed central observing monitoring system could provide the moving direction of spred out forecast wildfire. This observing and monitering system analyze and simulation for the moving speed and direction forest fire, it could be able to predict and training the forest fire fighters in a given environment.

As the Present industry is developing, a structure and systems is tending increase. Therefore, the accident of freezing become intensified in our country, the continental climate zone of region in the middle degree. This paper is to analyze about the reason of freezing, principles to help avoid freeze, and so forth.

The fire event occurred in fire proof zone often causes serious electrical problems such as shorts, ground faults, or open circuits in nuclear power plants. These would be directed to the loss of safe shutdown capabilities performed by safety related systems and equipments. The fire event can treat the basic design principle that safety systems should keep their functions with redundancy and independency. In case of a multi-core cable fire, operators can not perform their mission properly and can misjudge the situation because of spurious operation, wrong indication or instrument. These would deteriorate the plant capabilities of safety shutdown and make disastrous conditions. In this paper, the characteristic of cable fire is investigated and the heat-flux evaluation for cable fire is studied. Moreover, a diagnostic methodology for degraded cable in nuclear power plants is presented.
