The present study investigates the spray characteristics of water mist nozzle with mid-low pressure for fire suppression. The examined nozzle types are swirl and spiral nozzle. The result shows that K factor of water mist nozzle is much smaller than those of general sprinkler. Spray angle of spiral nozzle is largest and more than $150^{\circ}$. SMD(Sauter Mean Diameter) of water mist nozzles is ranged between 100 and 200$\mu\textrm{m}$through measuring by image processing method. The spray pattern of spiral nozzle represent that water flux of first stream is 2 times larger than that of second stream. This study will contribute better understandings of the water-mist spray characteristics and useful daia for developing the water-mist nozzles.

In the present investigation, experimental studies were conducted on the fire suppression performance of twin-fluid water mist spray which is subjected to thermal radiation in a closed space. Downward-directed water-mist sprays, interacting with an under kerosene pool fire, were investigated in a test facility. The mass mean diameter of water-mist droplets were measured by PMAS under various flow conditions. The developed twin-fluid water mit spray nozzle satisfied the criteria of NFPA 750, Class 1. The mechanism of fire suppression by fine water mist was concluded to be the cooling of the fire surface which leads to the suppression of fuel evaporation. It was proved that the automatic twin-fluid water mist spray system under lower pressures could be applied to an industrial facilities.

본 연구에서는 형식이 각기 다른 3종류의 미분무수 노즐을 사용하여 방사높이와 화염의 위치 변화에 따른 소화성능 실험과 포 소화약제를 혼합한 소화성능 실험을 수행했다. 소화성능 실험에서는 미분무수 노즐의 높이를 4m, 3.5m, 3m로 변화를 주었으며 연료 팬을 노즐 중심으로부터 0m, 0.5m, 1m의 변화를 주었다. 포 소화약제는 3%형 AFFF(Aqueous Film Forming Foam)를 사용하였다. 실험결과 개구부의 유무는 소화에 미치는 영향이 적었으며, 포 소화약제를 혼합한 미분무수의 소화성능은 약제를 혼합하지 않은 경우에 비하여 우수하였다.

The present study was numerically and experimentally performed to investigate the fire suppression performance of water mist spray subjected to thermal radiation in closed space. Downward-directed water mist sprays to interact with an under kerosine pool fire were investigated in test facility. The mass mean diameters of water mist droplet were measured by PMAS under various flow conditions. The developed water mist spray nozzle was satisfied to the criteria of NFPA 750, Class 1. The mechanism of the fire suppression by water mist was concluded to be cooling of the fire surface which lead to suppressed of fuel evaporation. It was proved that the water mist spray system under lower pressures could be applied to underground fire protection system.

In this paper, we developed a breather valve with a water mist system for use near an oil storage tank. Our process applied a water mist system to the flame arrester to evaluate the fire suppression characteristics. For the fire suppression evaluation of the water mist system, we evaluated the angle of the nozzle, fire suppression, spray particle size, flashback, fire suppression time, and fire suppression test of antifreeze. Through the fire suppression test, the best fire suppression nozzle used an angle of $140^{\circ}$, and the flashback phenomenon of flame arrester did not occur. The fire suppression time of water mist system time was within three seconds, and the antifreeze was no problem with the fire suppression.

본 연구에서는 미분무수 노즐을 이용하여 소화시간에 영향을 미치는 인자들을 변화시키며 소화실험을 수행하였다. 주요 인자는 화염의 위치와 노즐 중심으로부터의 거리, 미분무 입자의 크기, 노즐의 설치 높이, 개구부 여부 등이었다. 소화실험 결과로부터 각 인자들 간의 상호작용과 소화에 대한 민감도를 Mini tab을 이용하여 분석하여 미분무수 소화시스템의 최적 소화모델을 도출하였다. 소화시간에 가장 큰 영향을 미치는 인자는 노즐 중심으로부터의 거리이며 개구부의 여부는 다른 인자들에 비하여 소화시간에 미치는 영향도가 적게 나타났다.

본 연구에서는 미분무수 노즐을 이용하여 설치높이 변화에 따른 3종의 포 소화 약제를 각각 혼합하여 소화성능 실험을 수행하였다. 소화성능 실험 결과 순수한 물과 기존의 3%형 수성막포를 사용한 경우보다는 2%형 미분무수 전용 수성막포와 1%형 합성계면활성제포가 더욱 빠른 소화시간을 나타내었다. 또한, 순수한 물만을 사용한 경우에는 3.5m, 포 소화 약제를 사용하였을 때에는 4m의 설치높이에서 가장 좋은 소화효과 나타내었다.

Fire extinguishing experiment was conducted with water mist nozzle in case of the pool fire, cascade fire and spray fire on flammable liquid of class B whether water mist system can be effective system for power transformer fire scenario. In the event of a pool fire, flow rate and time to extinguish was inclined to be increased according to the obstruction rate of ignition space. Furthermore, the performance of fire extinguishing depended upon the spraying angle of the nozzles. In case of cascade fire, the effect of extinguishment was began to show from a combustion pan filled with fuel and fuel flowing plate later on.

In the present study, the numerical investigation on the effects of water-mist characteristics has been carried out for the fire suppression mechanism. The FDS are used to simulate the interaction of fire plume and water mists, and program describes the fire-driven flows using LES turbulence model, the mixture fraction combustion model, the finite volume method of radiation transport for a non-scattering gray gas, and conjugate heat transfer between wall and gas flow. The numerical model is consisted of a rectangular enclosure of $L{\times}W{\times}H=1.5{\times}1.5{\times}2.0m$ and a water mist nozzle that be installed 1.8m from fire pool. In the study, the parameters of nozzle for simulation are the droplet size and the spray velocity. Finally, the droplet size influences to fire flume on fire suppression than spray velocity because of the effect of terminal velocity, and the optimal condition for fire suppression is that the droplet size and the spray velocity are $100{\mu}m$ and 20m/s, respectively.
