본 연구에서는 지하철 승강장에서 화재가 발생하는 경우, 제연모드에 따른 위험도를 정량적 위험도 평가기법에 따라서 비교하여 안전확보에 가장 효과적인 제연모드를 제시함을 목적으로 한다. 이를 위해 전형적인 지하철 승장장을 모델로 하여 제연모드별로 대피개시간 및 화재발생열차의 위치에 따른 화재발생 시나리오를 작성하고, 시나리오별로 화재발생률(F)을 산정하고 화재해석과 대피해석을 수행하여 사망자수(N)를 정량적으로 추정하였다. 시나리오별 사고발생률(Frequency)과 사망자수(N:Fatalities)를 추정하여 F/N 선도로 작성하고 이를 사회적 위험도 평가기준과 비교하여 화재 안전성을 평가하였으며, 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 정거장 열차화재 시 인명안전을 위해서는 최대 600 s 이전에 대피가 개시되어야 하며, 정거장 양단배기 시스템이 없는 승강장에서는 승강장 공조시스템을 급기로 운영하여 승강장을 가압하는 것이 대피안전성 확보에 유리한 것으로 나타났다. 승강장 열차화재시나리오에 따른 F/N선도를 작성하여 사회적 위험도 평가기준과 비교한 결과, 제연을 하지 않는 경우에는 한계기준을 상당히 초과하며, 양단배기를 수행하고 승강장을 가압운전모드에서 운영하는 제연모드가 대피안전에 가장 효과적인 것으로 나타났다.

In this study, we have observed the airborne radon levels in the subway cabins before and after platform screen doors (PSD) installation. The measurements have been conducted at Seoul metropolitan subway lines in 2008, 2009 and 2010. The mean concentration of the radon inside subway cabins were increased by approximately 53% from $20.1Bq/m^3$ to $30.8Bq/m^3$ by installing PSD. After PSD installation, measured values for the different lines were rather different, and varied between 8.2 and $76.5Bq/m^3$. And mean radon concentrations were in the decreasing order for subway lines 5, 6, 7, 8, 3, 4, 2, 9 and 1. It was also found that the indoor radon concentrations in the subway cabins were highly dependent on the management approach of a ventilation system at the subway stations. By assuming an average of $720\;h\;year^{-1}$ and $2,880\;h\;year^{-1}$ spent in subway cabin, effective doses to passengers and employee were estimated. The expected annual effective dose, in case of an equilibrium factor of 0.4, were $0.07mSv\;y^{-1}$ and $0.26mSv\;y^{-1}$, respectively.

Axial-flow cyclone separator cluster can be used for a dust removal device inside a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning(HVAC) system of subway station. In this study, 3-dimensional computational fluid dynamics(CFD) analysis was performed to compare single unit axial-flow cyclone with couple unit axial-flow cyclone cluster. It is shown that the performance of cyclone separator is not influenced by number of single units but influenced by ability of single unit.

Seoul subway plays an important part for the public transportation service in Seoul metropolitan area. As the subway system is typically a closed environment, frequent air pollution problems occurred and passengers get malhealth impact. Especially particulate matters (PM) is well known as one of the major pollutants in subway environments. The purpose of this study was to compare the concentrations of $PM_{10}$ and $PM_{2.5}$ in the Seoul subway system and to provide fundamental data in order to management of subway system. $PM_{10}$ and $PM_{2.5}$ samples were collected in the M station platform and tunnel of Subway Line 4 in Seoul metropolitan and in an outdoor location close to it from Apr. 21, 2010~Oct. 27, 2013. The samples collected on teflon filters using $PM_{10}$ and $PM_{2.5}$ mini-volume portable samplers and PM sequential sampler. The PM contributions were $48.6{\mu}g/m^3$ (outdoor), $84.6{\mu}g/m^3$ (platform) and $204.8{\mu}g/m^3$ (tunnel) for $PM_{10}$, and $34.6{\mu}g/m^3$ (outdoor), $49.7{\mu}g/m^3$ (platform) and $83.1{\mu}g/m^3$ (tunnel) for $PM_{2.5}$. The $PM_{10}$ levels inside stations and outdoors are poorly correlated, indicating that $PM_{10}$ levels in the metro system are mainly influenced by internal sources. In this study, we compared PM concentrations before and after operation of ventilation and Electrostatic Precipitator (EP). Despite the increased PM concentration at outdoor, $PM_{10}$ concentration at platform and tunnel showed the 31.2% and 32.3% reduction efficiency after operation the reduction system. The overall results of this study suggest that the installation and operation of the ventilating system and EP should have served as one of the important components for maintaining the air quality in the subway system.

A study on fire phenomena in a subway transit mass station has been carried out as a part of disaster prevention plan at the subway station. The ventilation facilities installed in both the platform and the trackway are designed to convert into a smoke exhaust system in emergency situation, creating such an environment as necessary for evacuation. 3 dimensional Numerical Simulations based on the CFD are carried out using a simulation tool, Fire Dynamic Simulator. Additionally, four different vent modes are made and performances are compared with the original design mode and each other to find better operation of vents at both the platform and the trackway in case of fire. From the result, an vent operational characteristics under the condition of installed PSD is clarified for the effective smoke and heat removal from the platform area compared with non installed PSD.

지하공간에서의 재난은 많은 인명피해를 가져오고 있어서 지하공간에 대한 위험성평가는 인명피해를 최소화할 수 있는 방안으로 우선되어야 한다. 특히 지하철 역사에서의 피난동선과 연기의 이동경로가 동일하여 발생되는 피해를 최소화하기 위한 수직개구부상의 제연경계벽 설치연구는 필수적이며, 화재시뮬레이션을 통한 평가를 통하여 그 효용성을 분석한 결과 연기제어와 피난여유시간을 확보하고 기존 역사에 설치된 제연설비와의 연계된 작동시 많은 효과가 있을 것으로 확인되었다. 이를 통하여 일부 수도권 지하철 역사에는 수직개구부에 제연경계벽을 설치하였고, 계속적으로 위험성평가를 통한 분석을 진행하고 있다.

In the Korean subway station, three types of pre-filters, which include auto filter, electrostatic precipitator (ESP) and auto cleaning demister, are widely used. However, these devices have some problems such as the difficulty of maintenance and high operating cost. In this study, axial-flow cyclone separator was employed as a pre-filter inside a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system. 3-dimensional computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis was performed on a single unit axial-flow cyclone and coupled unit axial-flow cyclone. Calculated and measured pressure drop of the designed axial-flow cyclone were found be comparable to other types of pre-filters and the observed cut-off diameter was less than 10 micron. Considering lower operating and maintenance cost, axial-flow cyclone was proved to be a better solution as a pre-filter.

제연방식과 풍량에 따른 실내에 유입된 연기의 제연성능을 조사하기 위해 Fire Dynamics Simulator의 대와류모사를 사용하였다. 급기구와 배기구, 개구부가 있는 크기 2m X 2m X 2.4m의 실내에 급기방식과 배기방식, 급배기방식의 제연설비를 각각 가동했을 때 실내에 무작위로 분포한 입자의 감소율을 조사하였고, 급배기방식에서 풍량에 따른 입자의 감소율을 비교하였다. 세가지 제연방식 중 배기방식과 급배기방식은 제연성능에 차이가 없었으나, 개구부가 있는 경우에는 급기방식이 다른 두 제연방식에 비해 제연성능이 떨어졌다. 또 급배기방식에서 풍량이 감소하면 제연성능이 급격히 떨어지는 것으로 나타났다. 이 결과로부터 대형 개구부가 많은 지하철역 등에는 급기방식 대신에 급배기방식 또는 배기방식의 제연설비를 사용해야하며, 신속하게 연기를 배출하기 위해 풍량을 높게 할 필요가 있음을 알 수 있었다.

Background: Subway stations have the characteristics of being located underground and are a representative public-use facility used by an unspecified number of people. As concerns about indoor air quality (IAQ) increase, various management measures are being implemented. However, there are few systematic studies and cases of long-term continuous measurement of underground station air quality. Objectives: The purpose of this study is to analyze changes and factors influencing IAQ in subway stations through real-time continuous long-term measurement using IoT-based IAQ sensing equipment, and to evaluate the IAQ improvement effect of a bio-filter system. Methods: The IAQ of a subway station in Seoul was measured using IoT-based sensing equipment. A bio-filter system was installed after collecting the background concentrations for about five months. Based on the data collected over about 21 months, changes in indoor air quality and influencing factors were analyzed and the reduction effect of the bio-filter system was evaluated. Results: As a result of the analysis, PM₁₀, PM_2.5, and CO₂ increased during rush hour according to the change in the number of passengers, and PM₁₀ and PM_2.5 concentrations were high when a PM warning/watch was issued. There was an effect of improving IAQ with the installation of the bio-filter system. The reduction rate of a new-bio-filter system with improved efficiency was higher than that of the existing bio-filter system. Factors affecting PM_2.5 in the subway station were the outdoor PM_2.5, platform PM_2.5, and the number of passengers. Conclusions: The IAQ in a subway station is affected by passengers, ventilation through the air supply and exhaust, and the spread of particulate matter generated by train operation. Based on these results, it is expected that IAQ can be efficiently improved if a bio-filter system with improved efficiency is developed in consideration of the factors affecting IAQ and proper placement.
