A Study on Setting the Optimal Installation Location considering the Air-conditioning Environment of the MLCC Factory Clean Room and the Performance of the Smoke Detector

Abstract

A circulating airflow was generated inside the clean room of an MLCC factory. This airflow affects the movement of combustion products (such as heat, smoke, and toxic gases) when a fire breaks out, and there is a risk of delaying the time required to detect the fire. In this study, testing, adjusting, and balancing were conducted for an actual MLCC plant clean room to analyze the effect of the circulating airflow inside the clean room during fire spread. In addition, the optimal detector location that reduces the time required for smoke detection was determined using a fire simulation program.
