Abstract

According to the section A-VI/3 of the International Convention on Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping for Seafarers (STCW), Water-based firefighting training center is mandatory to obtain onboard certificates. This space, being similar to fire situations on ships requires that safety measures be quantified to ensure occupant safety and establish operational standards. For fire safety evaluation, cases were designed based on the presence or absence of smoke control equipment using Pyrosim based on Fire Dynamics Simulation (FDS). Vector analysis was performed to evaluate flow of smoke and heat. Available safe escape time / required safe escpae time (ASET/RSET) analysis was conducted to evaluate safety by comparing the interpreted numerical results through Pathfinder. During safety evaluation of the current operational condition, the appropriateness of the function of each smoke control equipment was numerically and visually indicated. The emergency situation with dust collector stopped was expressed by each evacuation time and safety margin of 111.2 seconds, suggesting that be used as a standard of evacuation time.

STCW 협약 A-VI에 의거, 승선 필수 증서를 발급받기 위해 소화 과정 최저 훈련 이수를 거치게 되는 공간이 수소화 훈련장이다. 선박 화재의 상황과 유사한 장소에서 발생한 화재 진압 훈련을 위한 실습 장소의 특성상, 재실자의 안전을 보장할 수 있는 운영을 위해 안전성을 수치화하여 평가하고 기준을 수립하는 연구의 필요성이 대두되었다. 화재 안전 평가를 위해 FDS를 기반으로 한 Pyrosim을 활용하여 제연설비 유무에 따른 Case를 설정, vector의 분석을 통한 연기 유동 및 열기에 대한 평가를 수행하였다. 피난 안전평가는 Pathfinder를 통해 허용 피난시간, 총 피난시간을 수치화된 결과로 해석, 비교하여 안전성을 분석하였다. 각 Case에 대한 안전성을 평가함으로 제연설비별 기능의 적정성을 수치, 시각적으로 나타내었으며, 현재 운영 상태는 안전성이 양호한 것으로 평가하였다. 집진설비가 정지한 비상상황은 각 피난시간과 111.2초의 여유시간으로 나타내어 수소화 훈련장의 비상상황에 대한 피난시간의 기준으로 활용할 것을 제시하였다.
