Book Description
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.
Design Approaches for Smoke Control in Atrium Buildings

ISBN: 9780851256153
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 66
Book Description
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.

Method of Predicting Smoke Movement in Atria with Application to Smoke Management
Author: John H. KlotePublisher:
ISBN:
Category : Atriums
Languages : en
Pages : 81
Book Description
In recent years, building with atria has become commonplace. Other spaces including enclosed shopping malls, arcades, sports arenas and airplane hangers also have large volumes, and the methods of this paper are also applicable to these spaces. This paper presents information that can be used for predicting smoke movement for design of atrium smoke management systems. The basic approach used in many codes consists of a collection of algebraic equations for design analysis. This approach and the physical concepts behind it are discussed including atrium smoke management system limitations. For applications for which the basic approach is inappropriate, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and physical modeling can be applied. Research is needed concerning the depth of smoke layer required to prevent atrium exhaust from pulling air from the lower layer and the use of airflow for smoke control between the atrium and spaces opening onto the atrium.
Sprinklers and Smoke Management in Enclosures
Author: Dalia E.E. KhalilPublisher: CRC Press
ISBN: 100006641X
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 179
Book Description
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
