Case Studies

CO Simulation for Underground Car Park
  • What are the concern areas in enclosed car park ?
    As per ASHRAE Emission of Carbon Monoxide(CO), Oil and Gasoline fumes which may cause nausea and headaches and also represents potential fire hazards.
  • How Jet Fans can be useful in Enclosed Car Parks ?
    Jet Fans are beneficial in normal condition as with the use of jet fans pollutants are made to flow through a specific path which leads to maintaining the carbon monoxide level in the car park which is otherwise is quiet tough to maintain. A case study is shown which describes how with the use of jet fans the carbon monoxide can be maintained to an optimum level.

Fire Simulation for Underground Car Park

What are the concern areas in enclosed car park ?

As per ASHRAE Emission of Carbon Monoxide(CO), Oil and Gasoline fumes which may cause nausea and headaches and also represents potential fire hazards.

Why we need to do a study for Smoke Simulation in Underground Car Parks ?

While fire in underground car parks are rare, but the damage resulting from those can be significant and even fatal in some cases.

Therefore, it is essential to install a smoke control system which could be used in normal as well in emergency(Fire) conditions as well.

A relative case study is done in an underground car park to show the effect of fire and how smoke control system proven out to be beneficial in an emergency case.

Fire Simulation for Atrium

  • How Atrium Fires can be dangerous:

A well installed smoke control system to be installed in an atrium because of the reason being that most of the time they are immensely populated which could lead to huge loss in life not only because of fire but due to loss of visibility and high temperature due to formation of smoke at 2.5m above finished floor level.

 

. Radiation Heat Analysis

  • Why to do Radiation Heat Analysis?

Where occupants are expected to egress past a fire, a radiative heat flux shall not be more than 2.5 KW/m2.. Fire not only affect breathing ability but can also cause severe burns. Exposure for any significant amount of time to radiant heat flux of 2.5 KW/ m2. or more can be damaging and painful.

The following figure depicts the effects of radiant heat not only on occupant but structures as well.
