The optimal design of an air curtain nozzle installed at exits, such as fire doors, was determined in order to block the flow of smoke into safe zones. Smoke is the greatest cause of loss of life during the fire. To block the flow of smoke, the airflow must be expelled uniformly without eccentricity from the slits in the air curtain nozzle installed on the upper part of the opening. In order to accomplish this, factors such as air inflow volume, shape of the internal slits, and thickness of the external slits were considered as variables in this study, and a numerical analysis was performed under various conditions. This led to the selection of a final shape which led to the finalization of a design shape. The final shape was manufactured as a prototype and the results were compared and verified with the results of the numerical analysis. The relative error of the numerical analysis results was less than 1%, and the average speed of all the slits was tested, exhibiting a highly consistent tendency.

It is very important to protect life, property at sea from any fire. Recommendation on improved fire test procedures for surface flammability of bulkhead ceiling and deck finish materials specifies a procedure for measuring fire characterizing their flammability and thus their suitability for use in marine construction. In this paper we investigated the positive expected by fire test procedures for flammability of bulkhead ceiling and deck finish materials. Also, unusual materials were analyzed. Finally, we suggest methods to solve several problems related to unusual materials.

This is a basic research on potential application of fire detection by measuring fire detection tendency of indoor air quality measurement factors. In this study, operation experiment using smoke detector sensitivity tester and paper fire experiment specified in UL 268 standards were conducted to evaluate the fire detection tendency of indoor air quality measurement factors. Based on the cross-substitution of values measured in the paper fire experiment, PM10 (excluding average) and HCHO (excluding average and maximum) for the indoor air quality meter (IAQ); PM1.0, PM2.5, and PM10 for IAQ S2; and CO (excluding the average and maximum) for combustion gas analyzers showed consistent tendency despite changes in the measured values for smoke generation under all experimental conditions. In particular, PM10 and CO are considered the most applicable fire detection factors among the factors measured in the experiment.

The technique detects radiant energy form a flaming fire of fuels contained carbonaceous material can be applied to fast growing fires. This technique applied detectors are ultimately effective when early detecting fire alarm system is required or the smoke and heat detectors can not applied. In Korea Fire regulation, a flame detector should be install in case that the installation height is higher than 20[m], chemical plant, hangar refinery. Therefore it is really necessary that a flame detector has to be developed as soon as possible. With foundation technique of flame detector, ideal sensing element and stable circuit design, a trial UV flame detector is manufactured. The stable and reliable technique of flame detector is established through the repeateed perfomance test and modification. An early detecting fire alarm device is developed through the modification, supplement of the structure and circuit. Results of the R & D for the manufacture of an excellent flame detecting device is carried out with the establishment of technique for the mass production and the qualified manufacturing process.

CEN/TS 45545 is Europe consolidation standard for fire safety on railway behicles. This is based on the International Union of Railways(UIC) and different European countries. It is intended to protect passengers and staff in railway in the event of a fire on board. It will be prepared in 2012. Based on this consolidate standard, they are going to make single market, for raising technical competitiveness, technical innovation and globalization of that standard. For this reason, European academies, manufacturers, and sub-manufacturers confer and stady animated about CEN/TS 45545. In Korea, get out the safety assessment for ues incombustible interior material, the needs of quantitative analysis on fire protection, demand on recognition of fire protection scenario, and define about fire load analysis are becomin more and more important. Therefore, this paper will estimate and compare Flammability, Smoke Density, Toxicity Index( this is the key point for appraised fire safety performance of material) between CEN/TS45545 and fire standards on railway vehicle. Then suggest criteria for fire safety on railway vehicles.

Most elevators worldwide do not have smoke protection, fire protection, and other features necessary for them to be considered as a means of fire evacuation. It is the aim of this study to investigate and analyze the recommendation for the evacuation plan using evacuation elevator of AIJ the aim of this study is to introduce AIJ method for the safety plan using evacuation elevator of high rise building written by working group fire resistant.
