Fire Analysis of the Refrigeration Warehouse by Fire Simulation Program

Forty people died in the fire of refrigeration warehouse at January 7th, 2008. In this thesis, Computater-simulation has been per-formed to understand the cause of deaths and fire diffusion processes of the refrigeration warehouse fire by using the FDS pro-gram. Also, the effect of sprinkler system was examined hypothetically. The results showed that smoke flew along the corridor and reversed after crash into the end of corridor, so the mechanical and electrical room were filled with smoke earlier than other rooms. CO density of corridor exceeded to the safety upper value, and it could be a cause of 8 persons died in corridor. CO density of mechanical room increased rapidly up to safety lower value from the beginning of fire and the CO density of adjacent corridor was higher than the mechanical room. It presumed the cause of 20 persons died in mechanical room, and they could not escape to adja-cent corridor. The density of CO2 and O2 were lower than the limit of safety value, its could not be an immediate causes of death
