  • This paper presents a study on the analysis for reducing the number of false alarms in fire detection system. In order to intelligent algorithm fuzzy logic is adopted in developing fire detection system to reduce false alarm. The intelligent fire detection algorithm compared and analyzed the fire and non-fire signatures measured in circuits simulating flame fire and smoldering fire. The algorithm has input variables obtained by fire experiment with K-type thermocouple and optical smoke sensor. Also triangular membership function is used for inference rules. And the antecedent part of inference rules consists of temperature and smoke density, and the consequent part consists of fire probability. A fire-experiment is conducted with paper, plastic, and n-heptane to simulate actual fire situation. The results show that the intelligent fire detection algorithm suggested in this study can more effectively discriminate signatures between fire and similar fire.

  • The spot-type heat detector is a main component of the automatic fire alarm system intended to signal when heat energy is produced in protected area. The most of protected area in our country is installed spot-type heat detector. On this study, the responsiveness to the change of environmental temp. of spot-type heat detec-tor were obtained and analyzed under specified temp., velocity in accordance with the KOFEIS stan-dard. The experiment was carried under the condition with the change of environmental temp. Concluion of this study is as follows : 1. It was confirmed that the responsiveness of rate-of rise heat detector is sensitive to temp. below 10 degrees above zero. The malfunction appeared at 40 degrees above zero and intended performance is disqualified at 50 degrees above zero. 2. The intended performance of fixed-temp. detector which is maintained for the change of envi-ronmental temp. But the responsiveneness is confirmed instability for the change of environmental temp.

  • There is needed the quard channel triple wave lengths pyroelectric infrared flame detector to recognize the unique characteristics of fire sources in various type. This system detects the triple wave lengths of infrared flame emitting maximum radient energy and scattering frequency of flame. The quard channel infrared flame detector detects the duplicate wave lengths of maximum radient energy to enhance the accuracy of detecting fire. Especially this paper focuss on development of the self diagnosis function system including contamination, temperature and input voltage. Therefore, the prevention and early suppression of fire is available.

  • In this study, we conducted a low temperature operating test and miniature tunnel model test to study the fire detection capability and properties of an early fire detection system using an optical sensor linear detector that can be installed in harsh environments such as tunnel or utility-pipe conduits which are becoming the major and national infrastructure facilities. The test showed that the optical sensor linear detector was the only one functioned properly among five thermal detectors installed at a low temperature of $-20^{\circ}C$ for 5 days. To study were analyzed adaptability of optical sensor linear detector in the windy tunnel, the operating properties of the optical sensor linear detector when the wind velocity was varied between 0 m/s and 1 m/s in a miniature tunnel model. The temperature change was high when the wind velocity was 0 m/s.

  • In the smart home era, fire safety is very important for human life and facility safety. Casualties and property damage from the fire would be a huge national loss. In this paper, we propose to predict the risk by determining the operating time of the fire detector according to the fire in the smart home. Among IoT fire detectors, heat detectors and smoke detectors, the risk can be predicted due to the difference in the operating time depending on the fire. Based on the results of this experiment, the ion-type smoke detector shows very fast characteristics, so it would be good to use the results in future fire prevention facility.
