In this paper which was performed to bring public attention to the need for developing an photoelectric smoke detector that detects smokes emitted from diverse fire sources, it was confirmed that the photoelectric smoke detector may not respond to certain smoke types depending on the size and color of smoke particles. The test was performed on a photoelectric smoke detector which is being used generally for specific fire targets specified in UL268, including paper fire, wood fire and flammable liquid fire, while the actual response performance of the fire detector, as well as respective smoke particles collected from different fire source which were photographed with a SEM(Scanning electron microscope) were analyzed in the test for this study.

This paper is basic study for development of an advanced photoelectric type smoke detector that has high reliability by reducing the occurrence of nuisance alarms. This paper was attempted to distinguish optical characteristics of the typical fire smoke particle and non-fire smoke particle. According to UL 268 standards, three types of test fires (the paper, the wood and the flammable liquid) were used in this paper for measurement of the fire smoke particles, and the water vapor and the cigarette smoke that were known as the main cause of the nuisance alarms were also used for the non-fire smoke particles. A smoke detection chamber was created, which was equipped with one light source and several light sensors for enabling simultaneous detection of light extinction and scattering, respectively. This paper analyzes the optical characteristics of each smoke particle using this chamber.

This numerical study investigates the effects of the size of the natural smoke vent area (10% and 1% of the floor area) and the location of the fire source (i.e., at the side and center of the stage) on the temperature distribution in the compartment and velocity distribution and mass flow rate of flow through a natural smoke vent for a reduced-scale model of a theater stage. Then, the mass flow rate of outflow through the natural smoke vent in the event of a fire for a real-scale theater stage was examined. The case with the larger natural smoke vent area and central fire source location showed lower temperature distributions and higher mass flow rates of outflow and inflow than the case with the smaller natural smoke vent area and side fire source location. The trends of the temperature distributions were closely related to those of the mass flow rates for the outflow and inflow. Additionally, the case with the larger natural smoke vent area and central fire source location exhibited the most non-uniform flow velocity distribution in all cases tested. A bidirectional flow, in which the outflow and inflow occur simultaneously, was observed through the natural smoke vent. In the event of a fire situation in a real-scale theater stage, it was predicted that the case with the larger natural smoke vent area and central fire source location would have a mass flow rate of outflow that is 43.53 times higher than that of the case with the smaller natural smoke vent area and side fire source location. The present results indicate that the natural smoke vent location should be determined by considering the location in a theater stage where a fire can occur.

Smoke is recognized as the major killer in fire situation. smoke often migrate to building locations remote the fire space, threatening life and elevator shafts frequently become smoke-logged, there by blocking evacuation and inhibiting rescue and fire fighting. It is the aim of this study to investigate and analyze the research trends of smoke movement in Fire.

본 연구에서는 방화막 및 자연배출구 면적이 공연장 무대 화재 시 연기 거동에 미치는 영향에 대해 Fire Dynamics Simulator (FDS)를 이용하여 전산시뮬레이션(Numerical simulation)을 수행하였다. 공연장의 무대 크기는 폭 31 m, 깊이 34 m, 높이 32 m로 설정하였고, 자연배출구 면적은 무대 바닥면적의 약 10%, 약 8%, 약 5%, 약 1%로 하였다. 방화막은 프로시니엄(Proscenium) 벽과 0.5 m 이격하여 설정하였다. 방화막과 자연배출구 면적은 객석으로의 연기유출, 자연배출구 및 프로시니엄 개구부를 통한 유입 및 유출 질량 유량에 지대한 영향을 미치는 것으로 관찰되었고, 동일한 자연배출구 면적 조건에서 방화막이 설치된 경우가 미설치된 경우에 비해 무대 내 압력이 더 낮은 것으로 나타났다.

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.

본 논문에서는 공연장 무대 화재 시 객석으로의 연기 확산에 방화막 및 강제 배연구가 미치는 영향에 대하여 Fire Dynamics Simulator (FDS)를 이용하여 연구를 수행하였다. 폭 31 m, 깊이 34 m, 높이 32 m의 무대에 대하여, 10 MW의 열방출률과 화재성장속도가 fast인 화재를 적용하였다. 강제 배출량은 화재안전기준과 기존 연구를 토대로 설정하였으며, 방화막과 프로시니움 (Proscenium) 벽 사이 간격은 0 m, 0.5 m인 경우를 대상으로 하였다. 방화막과 프로시니움 벽이 완벽하게 밀착되어 있는 경우, 강제 배연구와는 상관없이 객석으로의 연기 확산은 일어나지 않았다. 방화막과 프로시니움 벽 사이의 간격이 0.5 m인 경우, 방화막이 없는 경우에 비해 무대 공간 내에서 연기층이 더욱 낮은 높이까지 하강하였으며, 이는 방화막에 의해 객석으로의 연기 확산이 방해받았기 때문이다. 한편, 동일한 방화막 조건에서, 강제 배연구가 있는 경우가 없는 경우에 비해 방화막과 프로시니움 벽 사이 간격을 통한 유출 질량유량이 작았다. 본 연구를 통하여 방화막과 강제 배연구가 공연장 무대 화재 시 객석으로의 연기 확산을 억제할 수 있는 효과적인 방법임을 확인하였다.

The fire testing performed for smoke detector model approval in Korea tests only one kind of fire smoke. A photoelectric spot-type smoke detector using Mie scattering is affected by the wavelength of light beam and the particle diameter. According to UL (Underwriters Laboratories Inc.) 268 standard, this paper analyze the characteristic of the response for a photoelectric spot-type smoke detector on sale in Korea using various fire smokes. Probability that the response time is included in non-defective range is 100% in paper fire, 90% in wood fire and 75% in flammable liquid fire, 90% in wood fire and 75% in flammable liquid fire. According to the estimation for population mean of the response time choosing a confidence level of 99%, a maximum of 19% for wood fire and that of 38% for flammable liquid fire are defective. As the result of analysis of smoke particle, this paper is found that these results are caused by the smoke particles are wide variations in size or have very black.
