Abstract:

Static smoke exhaust systems with natural vents are starting to be installed in big shopping complexes, ware‐houses and cargo terminals in the Far East. These systems are used for natural ventilation as well as for letting out smoke. This paper responds to concerns over the performance of static smoke exhaust systems, which remain less popular than dynamic smoke exhaust systems with mechanical fans. We propose a modification of a simple flow model found in the literature, adapting this to study smoke layer interface height with natural vents opened. We compare and justify our results, as generated by both Computational Fluid Dynamics and zone models, alongside reports of historical field tests. The model of smoke exhaust is applied in an illustrative example of a large hall, leading to the suggestion that a flow model could be used for designing natural vents. As the key driving force in removing smoke through natural vents is smoke's own buoyancy, the system might only be effective for bigger fires. Santrauka Tolimuosiuose Rytuose statines dūmu šalinimo sistemos su natūralios ventiliacijos angomis pradedamos irengti dideliuose prekybos kompleksuose, sandeliuose ir kroviniu terminaluose. Tokios sistemos naudojamos ir natūraliai ventiliacijai, ir dūmams šalinti. Šis straipsnis parengtas susirūpinus, kad statines dūmu išmetimo sistemos yra ne tokios populiarios nei dinamines dūmu išmetimo sistemos su mechaniniais ventiliatoriais. Autoriai siūlo literatūroje aprašomo paprasto srauto modelio modifikacija, pritaikant ši modeli dūmu sluoksnio salyčio su natūralios ventiliacijos angomis aukščiui tirti. Straipsnyje palyginti ir pagristi rezultatai, gauti taikant tiek skaičiuojamosios skysčiu dinamikos, tiek zonavimo modelius kartu su eksperimentiniais tyrimais vietoveje. Pateiktas dūmu šalinimo modelio taikymo pavyzdys dideleje saleje ir padaryta išvada, kad srauto modelis galetu būti taikomas irengiant natūralia ventiliacija. Kadangi pagrindine varomoji jega šalinant dūmus per natūralias ventiliacijos angas yra dūmu plūdrumas, sistema gali būti veiksminga tik esant didesniems gaisrams.
