미분무수 소화시스템을 이용하여 철도차량 내부 화재진압 실험을 수행하였다. 실험차량은 실물 철도차량이며, 화재시나리오는 표면화재 1종, 유류화재 1종, 그리고 미분무수 소화시스템에 의한 화재공간 내의 공간 냉각 능력을 조사하기 위한 차폐화재 1종 등 총 3종이었다. 실험에 사용된 소화시스템은 6종으로, 일정압력을 가지는 소화시스템 5종, 질소가압 압력용기로부터 분사되는 소화시스템 1종이다. 실험 결과 미분무수 소화시스템이 철도 차량 내부의 화재를 효과적으로 소화시키거나, 소화가 되지 않더라도 우수한 공간 냉각 능력으로 화재 피해를 최소화 할 수 있음을 알았다.

This dissertation is research on the fireproof characteristic of molded transformer and the extinguishable characteristics of the NAF S-III. As the research method, a theoretical examination has been made for the combustion process of epoxy resin, which was the main material of molded transformer, and extinguishing process of NAF S-III, which has recently been used in the clean extinguishable chemicals. Furthermore, for its proof, the experiments on combustion and extin-guishment on molded transformer has been performed. By installing the actual molded transformer in and artificial the horizontal heating furnace which has similar conditions with the electrical substation, and after subsequently ignited, the extinguishing process has been observed by classifying it into the natural extinguishment of the ignited transformer, and extinguishable chemical in NAF S-III has been injected. The volume of injected extinguishable chemical was the economical amount which was equipped with the extinguishable capability on the molded transformer under combustion, and it was calculated with the Announcement of the Ministry of Government Administration and Home Affairs as the basis. With the injection of the calculated extinguishable chemicals, the ignited transformer has completely extinguished within one minute.

Fire suppression tests are carried out for a train car using water mist systems. Three kinds of fire scenario applied to the real-scale train car are a surface fire representing car combustibles, a oil pool fire pretending an oil spill and a blocked fire for evaluation of space-cooling capacity. Five fixedpressure water mist systems and one self-contained water mist system with nitrogen gas are used for fire suppression experiments. Almost water mist systems can extinguish effectively train car fires, and fire-control capability of the system is seen due to the space cooling.

본 연구에서는 기존의 고압으로 작동되는 고압 미분무 건과는 달리 Twin-Fluid의 Turbulence 및 Break-up 현상 등을 이용하여 저압상태에서 작동하며 경량화 및 소형화에 성공하여 기존 소방관의 진입이 어려운 장소 또는 수원으로부터 멀리 떨어진 곳에서 원활한 소화활동을 위해 개발한 저압용 미분무 건의 성능을 화재소화능력 시험을 통해 입증하였다. 화재 소화능력 시험을 수행한 결과 물과 질소가 Mixing Chmaber 내부에서 혼합되면서 두 유체간의 상호작용 및 운동 에너지으로 인해 물의 액적이 미세하게 Atomizing되어 목재화재는 물론 유류화재의 진압에 있어서도 우수한 성능을 확인할 수 있었다.

본 연구분석결과 훈련 이벤트가 다수 적용될 때 훈련 참여자의 참여율, 관심도 및 화재대응자세가 많이 향상되고 훈련계획시 훈련 참여자들의 초기대응능력(화재통보 및 화재신고, 초기소화, 화재대피) 향상과 유지에 훈련목표를 두고 각 대응단계별 목표시간을 설정한 후 이를 기반으로 정량적인 훈련평가를 하여야만 화재대응능력 향상과 향후 화재모의훈련의 개선 및 피드백에 유용한 지표로 활용될 수 있다는 결과를 도출하였다.

우리는 지금 이제껏 우리가 사용해 오던 재래식 포소화약제를 버리고 새로운 대안을 찾아야 하는 갈림길에 서 있다. 미래에도 예전처럼 소화능력에 대한 우리의 신뢰를 저버리지 않으면서 친환경적인 포는 과연 어떤 것이어야 하나? 미래형 포소화약제의 선택 방향과 그 한계를 알아보고 소비자들의 판단 기준을 짚어보기로 한다.

Halon gas agent has been widely used as the extinguishing agent for B class and C class fires because of its excellent extinguishing power. But Halon was found to contribute to the ozone layer destruction, eventually Halon designated as one of ozone-layer-destroying materials in the Montreal Protocol in 1987, In this study, in the context of such researches, we measured the characteristics of flame concentrations of inert gaseous agents by Cup-burner method.

Halon which is one of the typical fire extinguishing agents for special purposes was banned not only to use but to manufacture because it destroys the earth's ozone layer. There have been many efforts to find or create Halon alternatives and Novec1230 which is one of the eco-friendly fire extinguishing agents is nominated. In this paper 6 kinds of valve structures were suggested to apply Novec1230 to fire extinguishing agents for railroad vehicles as Novec1230 needs different valve specifications from Halon and spray shapes and action time were compared and measured. As the results, the extinguishing times of A type and F type valves are 20% faster than the other 4 types, and 178% faster than MIL-DTL-62547(USA). Therefore, they can be suggested to the eco-friendly extinguishing agents and Novec1230.

To prevent ozone depletion caused by CFCs, the replacement of Halon with clean agents has been developed in the fire protection field along with refrigerants, detergents, and foaming agents. The alternatives for Halon 1211 have been developed in the portable fire extinguisher area and HCFC-123 is used widely as a clean fire extinguishing agent. The type of expellant gas is important because their own vapor pressure is low. In this study, HCFC-123, HCFC-124, HFC-125, and Novec-1230 were selected as fire extinguishing agents and CO₂, which is expected to improve the fire extinguishing ability, was chosen as the expellant gas. For each agent, experiments changing the agent and CO₂ amount were carried out and HCFC-123 showed a good result, as expected. The extinguisher, HCFC-123 of 1.5 kg, showed the same ability to suppress a class A and B fire as the extinguisher, HCFC-123 of 2.5 kg, which is currently sold on the market. According to this result, the expellant gas has a subsidiary fire extinguish effect. This can reduce the amount of HCFC fire extinguishing agent, which is categorized in the phase-out alternatives, and is a more eco-friendly and economical fire extinguisher than the previous one. This study can also help solve the problems of CO₂ fire extinguishers for class B and C fires, and can be used to extinguish electric and electron facilities fire, which contains large amounts of class A fire combustibles.

In this study, anaerobic enrichment cultivation was performed with the sediments from the Gimpo and Inchon areas. Lactate as an electron donor and PCE as an electron acceptor was injected into the serum bottle with an anaerobic medium. After the incubation of 8 weeks, the reductive dechlorination of PCE was observed in 7 sites among 16 sites (43%). Three enrichment cultures showed completely dechlorination of PCE to ethene, while four enrichment culture showed transformation of PCE to cis-DCE. The bacterial community structure was analyzed by PCR-DGGE. Dechlorinating bacteria were detected by species-specific primers. The dominant species in seven anaerobic enrichments were found to belong to the genus of Dehalococcoides sp. and Geobacter sp., and Dehalobacter sp.
