Book excerpt: The Handbook of Smoke Control Engineering extends the tradition of the comprehensive treatment of smoke control technology, including fundamental concepts, smoke control systems, and methods of analysis. The handbook provides information needed for the analysis of design fires, including considerations of sprinklers, shielded fires, and transient fuels. It is also extremely useful for practicing engineers, architects, code officials, researchers, and students. Following the success of Principles of Smoke Management in 2002, this new book incorporates the latest research and advances in smoke control practice. New topics in the handbook are: controls, fire and smoke control in transport tunnels, and full-scale fire testing. For those getting started with the computer models CONTAM and CFAST, there are simplified instructions with examples. This is the first smoke control book with climatic data so that users will have easy-to-use weather data specifically for smoke control design for locations in the U.S., Canada, and throughout the world. Systems discussed in the handbook include those for stairwell pressurization, elevator pressurization, zoned smoke control, and atrium smoke control. The latest smoke control research and most current engineering approaches are also included. Unique to previous smoke control literature, this handbook provides many example calculations to help designers prevent smoke damage.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book addresses smoke management in enclosures and provides a platform for understanding the principles of smoke propagation and spread, heat release rate, and the effect of sprinklers on suppression. Considering how sprinkler systems have become a vital part of firefighting systems in enclosures, the book evaluates the effect of sprinkler activation on the behavior of fire-induced smoke and the interaction of water particles with the smoke layer. It studies two base case models where the sprinklers’ effect on the fire curve was considered. This base case was assessed with two smoke extraction systems, namely, a ducted system and an impulse ventilation system. By focusing on key elements, such as visibility, ceiling height, and fire curve, the results of the study will be of interest to mechanical engineers, HVAC professionals, and fire safety professionals and investigators. Features Includes case models and scenarios to evaluate real examples from different applications Studies the effect of sprinkler activation on the behavior of fire-induced smoke Explores various factors, such as ceiling height, sprinkler operating pressure, and fire curve Discusses the interaction of water particles with the smoke layer Utilizes Pyrosim software for CFD modeling

This book was released on 1994-01-01 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report is intended to assist designers of smoke ventilation systems in atrium buildings. Most of the methods advocated are the outcome of research into smoke movement and control at the Fire Research Station (FRS), but also take into account experience gained and ideas developed whilst the authors and their colleagues have discussed many proposed schemes with interested parties. The primary purpose of the Report is to summarise in a readily usable form the design advice available from FRS at the time of its preparation, As such, it does not attempt to cover installation, detailed specification of hardware, or aspects of fire safety engineering other than smoke control.

Download or read book Design Methodologies for Smoke and Heat Exhaust Ventilation written by H. P. Morgan and published by Building Research Establishment. This book was released on 1999 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This guide summarizes the advice available from the Fire Research Station, to designers of Smoke and Heat Exhaust Ventilation Systems (SHEVS) for atria and other buildings. It builds upon currently available published advice (especially BRE Report Design approaches for smoke control in atrium buildings[13], but also BRE Report Design principles for smoke ventilation in enclosed shopping centres[24]), by including more guidance on the use of the methods given, and by including the results of research carried out since the publication of ref. [13] in 1994. In particular, the use of a design fire size is considered in more detail, including: a discussion of growing fires; formulae and calculation methods to determine the deflection of smoke curtains in fire situations so that the specification of smoke curtains can become part of the SHEVS design; the effects due to airflow on the efficiency of natural smoke exhaust ventilators and on the stability of smoke layers. This guide does not consider the scenario where a fire in a room connecting to an atrium causes a flame plume to rise into the atrium. In this context, any large space adjoining the fire room may be considered to be an atrium, eg malls in shopping complexes. A discussion is included of the factors which need to be considered when specifying the hardware (ventilators, smoke curtains, etc.) required to implement the design in a building. Some advice is also included on: factors to be considered in installing the system in buildings; how to test the functioning of the equipment separately and as a complete system once it has been installed; and 'good practice' measures involving the management and maintenance of the system when the building is in everyday use. The purpose of this book therefore is to provide practical guidance on the design of smoke-control systems. It reflects current knowledge and is based on the results of research where available, including as yet unpublished results of experiments. In addition, it draws on the authors' cumulative experience of design features required for regulatory purposes in many individual smoke-control applications. Many of these design features have evolved over several years by consensus between regulatory authorities, developers and fire scientists, rather than by specific research. The methodology underpinning the book is explicitly empirical in approach and can easily be extended to most buildings. Where guidance is necessary to address practical design issues but there are gaps in the established knowledge-base, the authors have exercised their professional judgement in offering conservative, pragmatic advice. When guidance is offered in these circumstances any potential weaknesses are made explicit. Related to this is the continuance of the philosophy used in the book's predecessor BRE Reports[13,24] that even where a document is difficult to obtain, or even verbal private communication is the source of advice, it is listed as a reference.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Smoke control in buildings is an essential aspect of modern fire safety engineering, playing a critical role in protecting lives, preserving property, and ensuring the continuity of operations during fire incidents. The complexity and significance of effectively managing smoke movement within various building types demand a comprehensive understanding of both fundamental principles and advanced technologies. The genesis of this book lies in the increasing recognition of the challenges posed by smoke during fires, not only to the occupants but also to the firefighters and emergency responders. Smoke, often the leading cause of fatalities in fires, can obscure visibility, impede evacuation, and cause significant health hazards due to its toxic components. As such, it is imperative for engineers, architects, designers, and safety professionals to be equipped with the knowledge and tools necessary to design, implement, and maintain effective smoke control systems. "Smoke Control in Buildings: Strategies, Systems, and Solutions" is meticulously crafted to bridge the gap between academic theory and practical application. This book aims to serve as a comprehensive guide, offering insights into the physics of smoke, the design and implementation of various smoke control systems, and the integration of these systems within the broader context of building design and fire safety strategies. In the initial chapters, we delve into the foundational principles of smoke behavior and movement, providing readers with a solid grounding in the subject. This is followed by an exploration of the different types of smoke control systems—passive, active, and hybrid—highlighting their respective advantages, limitations, and applications. We also discuss the crucial aspects of designing these systems, taking into account performance objectives, regulatory requirements, and the intricacies of system integration. Advanced computational tools and methods form a significant part of modern smoke control strategies. Therefore, a dedicated chapter is provided to familiarize readers with the latest fire and smoke modeling software, complemented by real-world case studies that illustrate the practical application of these tools. Furthermore, we address the importance of proper installation, commissioning, and ongoing maintenance to ensure the reliability and effectiveness of smoke control systems throughout their lifecycle. The inclusion of diverse case studies offers a pragmatic view of smoke control challenges and solutions across different building types, from high-rise structures to underground spaces and public assembly venues. These examples serve to contextualize theoretical knowledge, providing readers with valuable lessons drawn from real-world scenarios. Looking ahead, we explore emerging trends and technological innovations that are shaping the future of smoke control. The integration of smart building technologies and the evolving landscape of standards and regulations are examined to prepare readers for upcoming developments in the field. This book is the result of extensive research and collaboration with experts in fire safety engineering, architecture, and building services. It is intended to be a valuable resource for professionals and students alike, offering both a thorough understanding of smoke control principles and practical guidance for their application. We hope that "Smoke Control in Buildings: Strategies, Systems, and Solutions" will inspire and equip you to enhance fire safety in buildings, ultimately contributing to the protection of life and property in our built environment.
