Since the first diesel passenger car hit the local road in late 2005, the share of diesel cars is growing significantly; possibly up to the level as in the western Europe. In this study, the effects of introduction of diesel passenger cars on the ventilation rate and facility capacity are analyzed for the three individual cases with different basic exhaust rate based on the vehicle age, the vehicle class percentage and the smoke exhaust rate. The target tunnel for this comparative study is a typical 2 km-long 2-lane highway tunnel. Case 1 assuming the current local design standards and the diesel vehicles comprising 40% of the total passenger cars on the road required more ventilation rate and facility capacity than in the case only with the current standards. Case 2 which is the real tunnel currently in the designing stage taking into account the vehicle age but ignoring the diesel vehicle ratio, and Case 3 on the contrary considering the both factors show similar level of ventilation characteristics as EURO-3 emission regulation. Application of the emission standard set by the Ministry of Environment for newly manufactured vehicles in the current local tunnel design standard indicates higher requirements than for EURO-2 regulation, whereas the emission standard came into effect in 2006 results in the ventilation characteristics similar to EURO-4. This study aims at providing fundamental information for assessing the basic emission rate and determining the optimal ventilation rate and facility capacity considering the growing percentage of diesel cars and gradually decreasing level of smoke emission forced by the relevant laws.

계사의 환기량 기준에 유해가스 농도의 조절을 위한 환기량 기준은 없다. 그 까닭은 적정하게 환기(Proper Ventilation)가 이루어지면 유해가스도 허용한계내로 유지되기 때문이다. 계사내 공기의 유해가스나 기타 유해성분 관리는 환기 목적중 한 부분(부수적으로 이루어지는)일 뿐이다.(중략)

The amount of ventilation required in making the tunnel ventilation plan is an important factor for determining the capacity of the ventilation system. The amount of pollutant emission for each type of vehicle (basic emission amount for the design of ventilation volume) for estimating the required ventilation amount is based on the 'Standard for Allowing the Emission for the car manufacturing', proposed by Ministry of Environment. However, in 2013, the Ministry of Environment announced the 'Regulations on the calculation method of total emissions from vehicles' as a regulation for calculating the pollutants emitted from vehicles. In this regulation, there are the 'Emission factors for each type of vehicle'. Therefore, it is necessary to review the application of the Regulation to the estimation of the required ventilation volume for the road tunnel. In this study, the influence of the strengthened emission regulation in 2015 caused by the case of manipulation of emission volume for the diesel vehicle on the calculation of the required ventilation volume in the road tunnel has been checked. In addition, in this study, the required ventilation volume calculated according to the Standard for Allowing the Emission for the car manufacturing revised by Ministry of Environment and "Emission factors for each type of vehicle" and that calculated according to the EURO emission standard were compared for analysis. This study has implications that it provides the basic design data for calculating the reasonable ventilation capacity of the ventilation system based on the ground for calculating the required ventilation volume.

The ventilation rate (Qreq) requirement in road tunnels is not just a basic information for determining the tunnel cross-sectional area, but also a major factor for the ventilation system selection. The Qreq is predominantly dependent on the vehicle traffic volume, while among others, the vehicle exhaust emissions and permissible standards are critical. This paper analyzes the changes in the Qreq designing criteria and/or recommendations suggested by World Road Association and local authorities over the last 20 years, since the first local designing criteria was established in 1997 by Korea Expressway Corporation. Additionally, based on the updated vehicle emission standards of Ministry of Environment and recent recommendations of the World Road Association (WRA), changes in the Qreq and its effects are studied in terms of the length and grade of the tunnel.

In this study, the emission rate of pollutant was modified according to the published standards, and the distribution of pollutant concentration was analyzed for each vehicle velocity. This modified emission rate was applied to a model tunnel and it was proved that the required air quantity was reduced to 49%, compared to the PIARC method. From the simulation result, it was proved by using statistics that the most sensitive factor among them is the friction coefficient and it was modified to the value in the range of 0.018 to 0.021. It is also expected that the required air quantity can be decreased form 14.4% to 19.2% according as the coefficient is applied to the domestic model tunnels. In conclusion, it is proposed that the number of jet fans can be reduced and the annual operating cost can be curtailed as well.

The standards of ventilation system for bi-directional tunnel have not been established now. For this reason, with regard to the bi-directional tunnel below 1km, some problems have been appeared in ventilation capacity designing and in determining whether the mechanical ventilation system is needed or not for each case. In this study, we examine the characteristics of natural ventilations, analyze ongoing ventilation design cases for bi-directional tunnels and classify those cases into two groups. This study is carried out about the capability of using natural ventilating system by calculation of reasonable ventilation capacity in bi-directional tunnel and review of relationship between natural wind speed ($Vr^*$) and required speed(Vreq). This paper aims at providing a basis data for bi-directional tunnel ventilation design standards.

건축법 중 건축물의 설비기준등에 관한 규칙의 일부가 지난 2월 13일 개정, 공포되었다. 이번에 개정된 주요 내용은 그동안 공동주택 및 다중이용시설의 환기설비기준이 없어 적정수준의 실내의 공기 질을 확보하지 못하여 국민건강을 해치는 등의 문제점을 개선하여 △공동주택의 필요환기 횟수를 시간당 시간당 0.7회 이상이 되도록 하고 다중이용시설 중 지하 역사의 경우 필요 환기량을 1인 기준으로 시간당 25㎡ 이상이 되도록 하는 등 건축물의 용도에 따라 환기설비기준을 정함으로써 공동주택 및 다중이용시설의 실내의 공기 질 개선을 통해 국민의 건강 증진에 기여할 것으로 기대된다. 또한 △피뢰설비의 설치기준을 강화하여 건축물의 높이가 60m 이상인 고층 건축물은 측면에 낙뢰방지시설을 설치하도록 개정함으로써 고층 건축물의 벼락 피해를 예방할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다. 본지는 건축물의 설비기준등에 관한 규칙 중 신∙구조문 대비표를 게재하오니 회원사 여러분의 많은 참고를 바란다.

Purpose: Ministry of Environment statistics reveals more than 132 fire·explosion accidents in South Korea between 2014 and 2023. Among them, fire and/or explosion accidents are very impactive in their scale and consequence. This study aims to suggest a new method of reasonable way to calculate the ventilation rate of indoor facility handling hazardous chemicals based on their inflammability. Method: A new method to calculate the ventilation rate is based on the physicochemical properties of the chemicals handled, which is more reasonable compared with the current regulation based only on the floor area of the facility. Result: Considering the physicochemical properties, 178 chemicals based on their inflammability were studied and 168(94%) met the criteria for the current regulation. Some materials have been shown to require too much or too little ventilation rate. Conclusion: Through this study, a reasonable method of calculating the required ventilation rate was proposed. This should be applied to ensure the safety of workers to deal chemicals.

As modern houses are constructed with high-density and high-insulation, there is benefit to reduce energy consumption, but there are many side effects raised from polluted air. To solve the problem, a ventilation system is used to improve a indoor air quality. In this research, we experimentally estimate ventilation performance of HRV(heat recovery ventilator) with heat-pipe according to working fluid filling quantity and ventilation. Heat-pipe used in this study was designated separately to be applied to a ventilation system. The working fluid was R22, which was filled from 40 to 55 (%vol.) by 5(%vol.). Ventilation based on the front velocity was measured from 0.3 m/s to 1.5 m/s by 0.3 m/s intervals. Refrigerant filling quantity with the highest efficiency was found to depend on the ventilation. From this study the optimal refrigerant filling quantity in accordance with the ventilation of the detachable heat pipes was found experimentally.
