This paper is based on a study of the response characteristics of photoelectric type smoke detector chambers according to dust color. Due to an amendment to the Fire Safety Codes to automatic fire alarm systems and visual alarm device, the installation of indoor smoke detectors has become mandatory, but in Korea there is still insufficient research on the non-operation or false alarms that could arise in indoor environments by indoor dust and other environmental conditions etc. In light of this, for this study, research was conducted on the indoor adaptability of smoke detector under various colors of fiber dust that were judged to occur most frequently in among the common indoor dust, photoelectric smoke detector with the lattice-type smoke detection chamber that the smoke detector which is most popular in the country was used, and four colors of fiber dust (brown, white, gray and black) were used the test dusts for carrying out dust and sensitivity testing. Also, the voltage of the photocell part of the smoke chamber was measured, and the scattering phenomenon in the chamber was observed. The result of the testing showed that all four dust types were suitable for dust and sensitivity testing under conditions of pollution A. Yet, there were occasions, at pollution B or C, where the brown, white and gray dust would cause fail alarm during operation testing. And black dust was confirmed to cause non-operation during operation testing. In the case of brown and white dust, the voltage measurement result of the photocell part of the smoke chamber confirmed that the voltage increases as the pollution level increases, and in the case of gray and black dust, the voltage decreases.

우리 일상생활 가운데 80% 이상은 실내에서 보내기 때문에 실내공기는 우리 인체에 대단히 중요하다. 실내공기를 오염시키는 오염원들은 담배연기, 연한 및 석유난로 음식요리과정, 실내 건축 자재 등이라고 추정할 수 있다. 저자등은 겨울철에 석유나 연탄으로 난방을 하는 사무실, 시장, 식당, 연구실 등의 실내를 대상으로 흡입성 분진량과 연량을 측정하여 실내공기 오염도를 조사한 결과 흡입성 분진량은 $0.03mg/m^3-16.14mg/m^3$이였으며 연의량은 $0.250-3.975ug/m^3$로 나타났다.

본 연구결과에서 측정기간 동안 측정기별로 상당한 농도차이를 나타낸 기간을 살펴보면 풍속이 높았던 것으로 분석되었다. 따라서, 기상요소 중 풍속은 미세분진의 측정시 유입속도에 영향을 일으켜 부유분진 측정농도에 오차를 야기 시킬 수 있는 것으로 생각할 수 있다. 결론적으로 건강유해 영향을 일으킬 수 있는 미세분진의 측정에 다양한 측정기가 사용될 수 있지만, 측정장소의 환경적 요소인 실내 및 실외환경뿐만 아니라 풍속같은 기상요소를 고려하여 측정기를 선택하여야 한다.

The present article discusses the response characteristics of smoke detector chamber due to dust and wind velocity. Although situations have improved in terms of early sensing of fires as the smoke detectors are applied indoors, studies tend to place insufficient focus on the side effects and malfunction that can be caused by diversified life dust produced indoors and environmental requirements, etc. Therefore, in the present study, 4 types of photoelectric smoke detectors with different forms and structures of smoke chamber were selected as the experimental objects, and dust test was conducted with fly ash, talcum powder and fiber dust as experiment samples to study indoor applicability of the smoke detectors in terms of their response to diversified dust and wind velocity. Also, to observe response characteristics due to pollution level inside the smoke chamber, wind velocity for dust test were set additionally at 0.25 m/s, 0.5 m/s, and 1.0 m/s. Based to the experimental results, fly ash, talcum powder, and fiber dust (black hair powder) were found to be suitable at the dust test reference wind velocity conditions of 0.25 m/s for both operation test and non-operation test after dust application. On the other hand, under the harsh wind velocity conditions of 0.5 m/s and 1.0 m/s, malfunction of unwanted alarm was observed in non-operation tests in the case of fly ash and talcum powder, and non-operation was confirmed to occur in the case of fiber dust as the alarm failed to operate normally in operation tests.

석탄광산의 선탄장(選炭場)에서 운용하는 장치들로부터 발생하는 석탄분진의 입도분포를 현장조사와 실내분석을 통하여 파악하였으며, 연구결과는 광해(鑛害)로서 작용하는 석탄분진을 포집하는 집진기(A Dust Collector)의 설계에 필요한 자료로 제시하고자 한다. 연구결과 TB업체의 분진 입도분포는 $1{\mu}m$이하의 미세(微細)입자와 $100{\mu}m$이상의 조대(粗大)입자가 차지하는 비중이 미약한 반면, 특히 $5{\mu}m{\sim}80{\mu}m$ 사이에 분포되는 분진들이 89.2%로 나타나 발생분진의 대부분을 차지하는 것으로 파악되었다. 이들 중 원심집진기에 포집된 분진은 $70{\mu}m$이하에서 89.5%인 반면 여과집진기에서 포집된 분진의 90.0%가 $20{\mu}m$이하인 것으로 나타났다. SD업체의 분진 또한 $1{\mu}m$이하와 $100{\mu}m$이상 입자는 적은 분포를 보인 반면, $5{\mu}m{\sim}70{\mu}m$사이에 분포되는 분진들이 89.6%로 나타나 발생분진의 대부분을 차지하는 것으로 파악되었다. 이들 중 여과집진기에 포집된 분진의 입도는 $30{\mu}m$이하에서 96.2%인 것으로 나타났다.

Electrical resistivity is an important property for the collection efficiency in the electrostatic precipitator. In this paper, electrical resistivities of tobacco dusts, yellow sand dusts and pine pollens are measured using a high voltage conductivity cell based on JIS B 9915. The resistivities of three kinds of indoor dusts are about $1{\times}10^7\;{\Omega}{\cdot}cm^2$ in the normal range and dust collection efficiency using an electrostatic precipitator at to face velocity of 1.0 m/s shows over 99% for the three kinds of indoor dusts.

도시 집중화로 교통난과 토지 과부족 현상이 야기되었으며, 초고층빌딩과 지하공간의 개발이 급속히 진행되고 있다. 또한, 지하공간의 이용률 급등에 따라 지하공기를 포함한 실내공기질에 관한 관심이 높아지고 있다. 기존 연구문헌에 의하면, 현대인의 대부분은 하루 중 80 ∼ 95 %를 다양한 실내 공간에서 생활하고 있으며 (Wiley et al., 1991), 실내오염원이 존재할 경우 실외대기보다 실내공기의 오염도가 극심하다는 연구결과도 있었다 (Hines et al., 1993). (중략)
