요약
본 연구에서는 2유체노즐의 액체풀 (Liquid pool) 화재 소화 성능에 대하여 선행적인 검토를 수행하였다. 액체풀 화재의 경우, 에탄올 (Ethanol) 1200 ml를 이용하였으며, 물 공급 유량은 632 ml/min, 공기의 공급 유량은 40 l/min과 70 l/min으로 설정하였다. 본 실험조건에서 2유체노즐을 이용하여 화재 소화 실험을 수행하였고, 2유체노즐의 분사 특성 (액적 크기 및 유량 분포)을 측정하였다. 실험 결과, 공기의 유량이 많은 조건에서 빠른 시간 안에 성공적으로 화재를 소화할 수 있었고, 이러한 결과에 대하여 가시화 및 2유체노즐 분사 특성 데이터를 토대로 분석하였다. 또한, 기존 연구의 일부 결과와 비교를 통하여, 2유체노즐이 단일유체노즐에 비해 더욱 작은 물의 유량 조건에서도 화재 소화를 할 수 있을 가능성이 있음을 확인하였다.
Abstract
In the present experimental study, the liquid pool fire extinguishment performance of twin-fluid nozzle was preliminarily examined. For the liquid pool fire, the ethanol of 1200 ml (volume) was prepared, and two kinds of air flow rate conditions (40 l/min and 70 l/min) were tested at the constant water flow rate condition of 632 ml/min. In the present experimental ranges, the fire extinguishment experiments were carried out using the twin-fluid nozzle and its spray characteristics (i.e., SMD (Sauter Mean Diameter) and flow distribution) were investigated. As a result, at the higher air flow rate, the liquid pool fire was extinguished quickly and successfully, which was discussed using the visualization and spray characteristics of twin-fluid nozzle. In addition, through the comparison with some of previous results, it was found that potentially, the twin-fluid nozzle can extinguish the liquid pool fire under the smaller water flow rate condition, as compared with the single-fluid nozzle.
