Abstract

본 연구에서는 서비스센터에서 정비를 받고 출고한 날로부터 5일 후 터널 주행 중에 발생한 디젤승용차 화재 사례를 조사분석하였다. 조사분석한 결과, 배기구 내부에 흰색 이물질이 다량 부착되어 있었고, 배기관의 중간에 설치된 diesel particulate filter (DPF) 위쪽의 차열재가 용융 및 소실되어 있었고, DPF 위쪽의 차실 내부 금속재 바닥이 천공되어 금속재 바닥 위에 놓인 고무매트가 연소된 케이스이었다. 그리고 DPF 앞쪽의 배기관에는 과열흔적이 없고 DPF부터 배기구까지의 배기관에 과열흔적이 있는 특이점이 있었다. 이러한 특이점들은 DPF가 과열되고 DPF에서 발화된 경우에만 나타나므로 이 승용차화재는 DPF 내부 과열에 의해 발생한 것으로 분석할 수 있었다. 그리고 이 승용차화재조사를 통해 디젤승용차 화재원인조사 과정에서 배기구 내부에서 흰색 이물질이 확인되는 경우에는 DPF를 분리하여 DPF 내부의 손상을 조사하여 화재원인을 판정하여야 함을 알 수 있었다. This study analyzed the case of diesel car fires that occurred while driving in a tunnel 5 days after maintenance at a car service center. The results of the investigation and analysis found that a large amount of white foreign matter adhered to the inside of the exhaust port and the insulating plate above the DPF (diesel particulate filter) installed in the middle of the exhaust pipe was melted and lost. In particular, the metal floor of the car above the DPF was molten and pierced, and the rubber mat placed on the metal floor was burnt. Moreover, while the exhaust pipe in front of the DPF showed no overheating mark, such a mark was observed in the exhaust pipe from the DPF to the exhaust port. Because these findings may appear only when the DPF is overheated and ignited, this car fire is believed to have been caused by internal overheating of the DPF. The car fire investigation of this study suggests that if white foreign matter is found in the inside of the exhaust port during a fire cause investigation of a diesel car, the cause of the fire should be determined by removing the DPF and examining the internal damage of the DPF.
