Research Abstract |
An interaction between fire induced upward flow and downward ventilation flow in a clean room is a matter of some concerns in the fire safety and smoke detection. Generally, the buoyant plume from an early stage of fire is very weak and is easily diluted with ambient air flow of the ventilation before the fire products reaching to a fire detector. In order to ensure adequate fire safety for clean rooms, it is important to design the early fire detecting system depending on the flow behavior produced by the complex of upward fire flow and downward ventilation flow. Full scale model clean rooms, 6.4m(W) x 9m(L) x 3.2m(H) and 3.8m (W) x 3.8m(L) x 3.0m(H), were used with a line or a circular model fire source of 6kW. Methylalcohol was used as a fuel. Temperature, velocity, and dynamic pressure were measured every 10 sec and flow visualization by a smoke wire and/or smoke candles was also carried out simultaneously. Downward ventilation velocity ranging 20 cm/sec - 45 cm/sec was employed. Cen

ter-line upward velocity in a characteristic form of v/Q^<1/5> and temperature rise (DELTAT) in a plume above a fire source were plotted against characteristic height with heat release rate of z/Q^<2/5>. These experimental data were obtained with downward ventilation flow. v/Q^<1/5> = A (z/Q^<2/5>)^n, DELTAT = B (z/Q^<2/5>)^<2n-1>. The values of A and B for the plume region with downward ventilation flow of 24 - 25 cm/sec are estimated as A = 0.2 - 0.3 and B = 3 - 5, respectively with n = -1/3. It was clearly found that the flow behavior based on temperature rise and velocity along the center-line of the fire plume are similar to those in the fire plume without downward ventilation flow except the flame intermittent region. The decreasing rates of A and B are greater than those in the flow without ventilation flow. Complex flow induced by upward flow of fire plume and downward ventilation flow made rapid diffusion of fire products (smoke and gas) within ;the clean room in a few minutes. There is no enough time to protect the cleanliness of the clean room from smoke diffusion from a fire unless very rapid fire detecting system will presents. Less
