Halon was known as a cause of the ozone layer destruction. In 1987, it was designated as one of the ozone-layer-destroying materials in the Montreal Protocol. Therefore substitutes of Halon agent has been developed including inert gas extinguish system, which is one of the most widely used fire extinguishing system. This study intended to increase the efficiency of inert gas extinguishing agent by using inert gas additives. As IG-541 shows high extinguishing power, the experiment was performed to measure the effects of gaseous additives to it. Cup-burner fire extinguishing apparatus was used with n-Heptane fuel. Among many of pure inert gaseous agents, Helium showed the most excellent extinguishing power. When Helium was added to IG-541, fire extinguishing power was increased and the concentration of oxygen in chimney also risen. By adding Helium to IG-541, the effectiveness of inert gas fire extinguishing system is able to be increased.

이산화탄소의 소화설비에는 개구부에 대한 소화약제 보충에 대해 구체적인 지침이 있다. 하지만 다른 가스설비, 청정소화약제 설비에는 필요한 경우 적용하라는 원칙 외에 구체적인 조항이 없다. 따라서 이 연구는 이산화탄소의 개구부 약제 추가 공식을 우리가 현제 사용하고 있는 다른 가스계 소화약제에 적용하는 것을 제시하였다.

NOVEC 가스 소화 설비는 소화 약제 보관용기에 보관되어 있는 NOVEC 가스를 보호구역에 정해진 시간 안에 방출하는 것이 가장 중요하며, 이를 위해서는 적절한 배관장치의 배치와 크기를 결정하는 것이 중요한 사항이다. 본 연구에서는 배관망해석 기법을 활용하여 NOVEC 가스 소화 설비의 설계방법론을 개발하였다. 설계방법론에 기초하여 각종 설계계수들을 결정 하였다. 개발된 방법론에 의해 소화 약제 방출시간에 대하여 계산한 결과 총 6.498초로 계산되어 제한시간인 10초 이내로 만족하는 것을 알 수 있었으며, 그 때의 압력손실은 21.09bar 이었다.

질소, 아르곤, 이산화탄소와 같은 불활성가스 및 이들의 혼합물을 소화약제로 하여 n-Heptane을 연료로한 cup-burner test 장치에서 불꽃소화농도와 연소시 배가스의 조성을 측정하였다. 이성분 불활성가스계 혼합소화약제의 소화농도는 혼합물의 구성비를 이용한 모델에 의해 잘 예측됨을 알 수 있었다. 불활성 가스계 혼합 소화약제에 의한 소화작용에 있어서 혼합가스의 평균비중이 클수록 소화 성능이 우수하였다. 또한 밀폐된 공간의 구조가 소화에 영향을 미칠 수 있음을 확인하였다. 연소시 배가스 중 이산화탄소 조성은 사용하는 소화약제의 양이 증가할수록 감소하였다. 일산화질소 발생은 소화약제의 질소 함량과는 상관이 없으며 공기유량을 크게 하여 불꽃을 크게 했을 때 검출되었다.

Present study deals with performance analysis of an inert gas generator (IGG) which can be used as effective means to suppress fire. The IGG uses a turbo-jet engine to generate inert gas for fire extinguishing. It is generally known that a less degree of oxygen content in the product of combustion will increase the effectiveness of fire extinguishing. An inert gas generator system with water injection has advantages of suffocating and cooling effects that are very important factors for fire extinguishing. Some aspects of influencing parameters, such as, air excess coefficient, compressor pressure ratio, air temperature before combustion chamber, gas temperature after combustion chamber, mass flow rate of water injection etc. on the performance of IGG system are investigated.

Present study deals with performance analysis of an inert gas generator (IGG) which is to be used as an effective mean to suppress the fire. The IGG uses a turbo jet cycle gas turbine engine to generate inert gas for fire extinguishing. It is generally known that a lesser degree of oxygen content in the product of combustion will increase the effectiveness of fire suppressing. An inert gas generator system with water injection will bring advantages of suffocating and cooling effects which are considered as vital factors for fire extinguishing. As the inert gas is injected to the burning site, it lowers the oxygen content of the air surrounding the flame as well as reduces the temperature around the fire as the vapour in the inert gas evaporates during the time of spreading. Some important aspects of influencing parameters, such as, air excess coefficient. $\alpha$, compressor pressure ratio, $ pi_c$, air temperature before combustion chamber, $T_2$, gas temperature after combustion chamber, $T_3$, mass flow rate of water injection, $M_w$, etc., on the performance of IGG system are investigated. Calculations of total amount of water needed to reduce the turbine exit temperature to pre-set nozzle exit temperature employing a heat exchanger were made to compare the economics of the system. A heat exchanger with two step cooling by water and steam is considered to be better than water cooling only. Computer programs were developed to perform the cycle analysis of the IGG system and heat exchanger considered in the present study.

This research has so far found out problems including the second damage of extinguishant and the short time of emission when using the existing dry chemical extinguisher and gas type extinguisher, and impossibility of constant extinguishing due to the inability of recharge at the field. To solve such problems, a mobile water mist system was developed and used. However, it is judged that more improved mobile water mist system is necessary because the force of the fire changed diversely and remote villages in mountains or islands where the force of fire extinguishing is short or delayed, require high capacity of fire extinguishing. Therefore a new equipment was developed and tested focusing on the improvement of extinguishing capacity and the performance of extinguishing was found out to be improved, compared to the existing mobile water mist system. It also showed a superior extinguishing capacity to dry chemical extinguisher or gas type extinguisher. Afterward an additional research is required of simplification of equipment, price cutting and the development of additive to enable high performance even with just small extinguishant.

본 연구에서는 산업용으로 일반적으로 사용하고 있는 질소발생기를 사용하여 할론 계열의 소화약제를 대체할 청정소화설비로 적용할 수 있는지에 대한 소화성능 실험을 간단히 수행하였다. 산업용 질소발생기의 소화성능을 분석하기 위하여 간단한 방호구역을 제작하여 실제 질소발생기에서 발생하는 질소가스를방사하면서 방호구역 내의 산소농도 변화를 실험적으로 파악하였다. 실험결과, 현재 많이 사용하고 있는 질소발생기로 방호구역 $100m^3$에 대하여 질소가스를 $5m^3$/min로 방사하면 3분 이내에 방호구역 내의 산소 농도를 15% 이내로 낮추어 질식소화가 충분히 가능하다.

A compound agent that mixes inert gas agents and halocarbon agents and a complex fire suppression system using the compound agent have been developed. The ultimate goal of this study is to develop the extinguishing agent which doesn't destroy the ozone layer and has low GWP and to develop the fire suppression system. As a result of the test and research for inert gas agents and halocarbon agents, nitrogen and FK-5-1-12 were selected finally and have been tested and studies for three years. Thus, the optimal extinguishing agent and fire suppression system have been accomplished. The performance of the agent and system was tested according to KFI performance test technical standards for gas fire extinguishing system and the fitness of the agent and system for a fire was certified by Korea Fire Industry Technology Institute (KFI).

A new test system was established to measure the flame extinguishing concentration of Halon alternatives. The main characteristic of this system is to use the solid paraffin with a wick instead of liquid fuel, such as n-Heptane. Our results showed that the extinguishing concentration of compounds was lower than that of other existing data, but the trend was consistent with others. The flame extinguishing concentration of all tested compounds were not almost effected by gas flow velocity. The system produces good reliable data with a minimum error for measuring the flame extinguishing concentration. Therefore our new system can be utilized as a standard equipment to evaluate Halon alternatives.
