This book was released on 1992 with total page 119 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper shows that use of elevators in addition to stairs during a fire emergency allows occupants and firefighters an additional system of vertical transportation. Even though the focus of this paper is fire evacuation, much of the information is also applicable to evacuation for other emergencies. The results of a previous project to develop smoke control of elevator systems are presented in Appendix A. An interactive computer program, ELVAC, was written specifically for the analyses of this paper.

Book excerpt: The Handbook of Smoke Control Engineering extends the tradition of the comprehensive treatment of smoke control technology, including fundamental concepts, smoke control systems, and methods of analysis. The handbook provides information needed for the analysis of design fires, including considerations of sprinklers, shielded fires, and transient fuels. It is also extremely useful for practicing engineers, architects, code officials, researchers, and students. Following the success of Principles of Smoke Management in 2002, this new book incorporates the latest research and advances in smoke control practice. New topics in the handbook are: controls, fire and smoke control in transport tunnels, and full-scale fire testing. For those getting started with the computer models CONTAM and CFAST, there are simplified instructions with examples. This is the first smoke control book with climatic data so that users will have easy-to-use weather data specifically for smoke control design for locations in the U.S., Canada, and throughout the world. Systems discussed in the handbook include those for stairwell pressurization, elevator pressurization, zoned smoke control, and atrium smoke control. The latest smoke control research and most current engineering approaches are also included. Unique to previous smoke control literature, this handbook provides many example calculations to help designers prevent smoke damage.

Book excerpt: "Evacuation from Fires, Volume II" in this important new series was developed because of the fundamental importance of removing occupants from harm's way during building fires and the need to demonstrate new analytical techniques and tools for the design and evaluation of exit requirements during fire emergencies. The corollary issue of elevator transport for evacuation and fire fighter use during fire emergencies is also discussed in this volume.

Download or read book An Analysis of the Influence of Piston Effect on Elevator Smoke Control written by John H. Klote and published by . This book was released on 1988 with total page 19 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper is part of a joint project between the United States and Canada to evaluate the feasibility of using elevators for the evacuation of the handicapped during a fire. The transient pressures produced when an elevator car moves in a shaft are a potential problem for elevator smoke control. Such piston effect can pull smoke into a normally pressurized elevator lobby. This paper presents an analysis of an elevator smoke control system emphasizing the influence of piston effect on system performance. For most elevators the problem can be overcome by designs that prevent smoke from being pulled into lobbies, and equations for the amount of pressurization air to accomplish this are developed for two arrangements of supply air outlets. Where this approach is not feasible, the methods of analysis presented in this paper can be used to determine smoke infiltration for a hazard analysis.
