Abstract

The heat detector detects heat in the fire and is an important core element of the automatic fire alarm system used generally for every fire prevention objects. The heat detector is distinguished in spot type and spread type and in spot type, there are differential and thermistor types. These heat detectors give a great influence on the loss of people and property according to the sensitivity of response such as operation time and operation temperature in actual fire and in overseas people apply it for the development of products that can be operated in the early stage of fire including certification, quality management, and comparison standard by introducing response time index through the theory of heat balance that considers the heat loss and ventilation tests. In Korea, the response time index is introduced and used in the head of sprinkler products, but it is not applied to the heat detector at present. It is necessary to introduce the response time index that shows the sensitivity of response of the heat detector the installation standard for the heat detector that the response time index is applied should be different according to the fire weight, danger degree of fire, and shape of buildings. Through this study, it tries to help reduce lives and property of people through the swift warning by installing detectors suitable for the building structure.

열감지기는 화재시 발생되는 열을 감지하는 것으로 모든 소방대상물에 일반적으로 사용되는 자동화재탐지설비의 중요한 핵심 요소이다. 열감지기는 스포트(spot)형과 분포형으로 구분되며, 스포트형에는 차동식과 정온식이 있다. 이러한 열감지기는 실제 화재시 작동시간 및 작동온도 등 반응의 민감도에 따라 인명과 재산 손실에 큰 영향을 준다. 국내에서는 스프링클러 헤드제품에 응답시간지수를 도입하여 사용하고 있으나, 열감지기에 대해서는 현재 적용이 되어지지 않고 있으며, 반응의 민감도를 표시하는 응답시간지수의 도입이 필수적으로 본 연구에서는 국내 생산된 정온식 스포트형 열감지기와 다이아프램형 및 반도체 형식의 차동식 스포트형 열감지기에 대하여 풍동실험 및 화재실험을 통하여 응답시간지수, 작동시간, 작동온도 등에 대하여 연구하였다. 응답시간지수를 적용한 열감지기를 설치하여 신속한 경보로 인한 국민의 생명과 재산손실을 줄이는데 도움을 주고자 한다.
