Smoke Control Session II: Design Fires, Atrium Control and Tenability Systems
October 16, 2008
Instructor(s): Dr. John H. Klote, P.E., FSFPE and Paul Turnbull
This seminar is intended for fire protection engineers and mechanical engineers who design smoke control systems. This seminar is for both beginning and experienced engineers who need to be up to date with the advances in this technology. The seminar will also be of benefit to design project managers, manufacturers of equipment for air moving systems and code officials who need an understanding of this technology.
This one-day session includes design fires, smoke plume mechanics, and types of atrium smoke control systems. The special topics of make-up air, minimum smoke layer depth, plugholing, and pre-stratification are addressed. Methods of analysis, including algebraic equations, zone fire models, scale modeling and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) are discussed. Tenability analysis is addressed. A case study of atrium smoke control is included.
The Smoke Control Seminar uses both the (1) A Guide to Smoke Control in the 2006 IBC by D. Evans and J. Klote and (2) the Principles of Smoke Management by J. Klote and J. Milke. Attendees will only need to choice one of the two books, both available from the SFPE Bookstore. For most engineers in the US, A Guide to Smoke Control in the 2006 IBC is the best choice, since it addresses both IBC code requirements and system design. The Principles of Smoke Management is good for people practicing outside the US and those wanting additionall grounding in the fundamentals. The handout material for each session will include the course slides, case studies, and reference list.
