Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an innovative system for pressurizing a predetermined environment in order to limit the spread of smoke in the event of a fire.
  • the system object of the present invention is capable of preventing the smoke released during a fire from invading areas considered protected, such as for example stairwells.
  • pressurization systems for stairwells are one of the most advantageous solutions for facilitating escape in the event of a fire. Indeed, in the event of a fire in a building, the smoke released by combustion represents a serious danger not only for people fleeing to a safe place but also for rescue teams. From this point of view, pressurization systems are extremely important for active protection in the event of fire: they favor the outflow of the occupants, they represent additional protection for rescuers against combustion products, even at high temperatures, they guarantee clear visibility and facilitate the identification of the fire source.
  • pressurization systems have become a valid option for guaranteeing adequate safety conditions in multi-store buildings, being able to maintain sustainable conditions in protected spaces, such as escape routes, access routes for the fire brigade intervention teams, lobbies, stairways and other areas that need to be kept smoke-free.
  • the UNI EN 12101-6: 2005 standard defines the specifications of these systems based on the type of control to be carried out and according to the fire safety objectives established in the general design of the building.
  • the standard takes into consideration different classes of the pressurization system based on the structure, the intended use and the subdivision characteristics of the building, which are subordinate to the objective to be achieved (protection from exodus or the intervention of the fire brigade fire) and the type of exodus envisaged (protection in place, simultaneous or phased exodus).
  • EP3542870A2 shows a pressurisation system for a stairwell according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • the present invention has the objective of realizing an extremely efficient stairwell pressurization system capable of reducing the risks due to a fire as much as possible.
  • This objective which is the main object of the present invention, is achieved by optimizing the regulating elements of the system, their calibration, precision and above all their reliability.
  • the safety integrity levels are defined as a quantitative measure of risk reduction, the meaning of SIL can therefore be traced back to the measure that indicates the degree of reliability that a safety system must achieve in order to reduce the risk of an accident during its use.
  • the safety integrity level is a number indicating the value of the probability that a system correctly performs an instrumental safety function within a pre-established period of time, i.e. it is the quantification of the reliability (or degree of reliability) achieved by any object that performs a safety-related function. The greater its reliability, the greater its ability to perform critical functions for the safety or for the availability of machines or systems.
  • the SIL is assigned to each individual independent safety function (SIF), implemented by one or more Safety Instrumented Systems (SIS).
  • SI Safety Instrumented Systems
  • the pressurization system of a stairwell object of the present invention is configured to be extremely safe and reliable, by means of a suitable combination of equally reliable and redundant components, as specified in the attached independent system claim.
  • FIGS 1 and 2 they schematically illustrate a pressurization system 100 of a stairwell to limit the spread of smoke, in the event of a fire, in this area, according to an embodiment of the present invention.
  • the pressurization of the stairwell is achieved by introducing fresh air and thus providing a positive pressure differential which prevents smoke from entering the protected area.
  • the system 100 comprises: a ventilating casing 1 for the introduction of air from the external environment, positioned above the building and in correspondence with the stairwell which must be pressurized, a duct 2 preferably made of sheet metal, connected to the ventilating casing 1, having an external portion 2' for the supply of air comprising at least one smoke sensor 20 and an internal portion 2" for the delivery of air passing through an internal wall of the stairwell and covering its entire height, at least one high precision pressure sensor 4.
  • the pressure sensors 4 are three in number and are positioned on different floors of the stairwell.
  • the three pressure sensors 4 are positioned on the second, sixth and top floor of the stairwell.
  • these pressure sensors 4 are in a closer position and in any case on nonconsecutive planes of the stairwell.
  • the internal portion 2" of the duct 2 has an adjustable outlet 3 on each floor.
  • a programmable logic controller inserted in the control panel 5 positioned in a safe area, is electrically connected to the ventilating casing 1, to the pressure sensors 4, to at least one smoke sensor 20 of the system 100.
  • a manual control panel 6 is positioned on the ground floor of the stairwell, so as to be usable by the emergency teams in manual mode (start/stop system with key selector and push-button panel for firefighters).
  • the ventilating casing 1 comprises a plurality of fans 10 with electronically commutated (EC) motors.
  • EC electronically commutated
  • each fan 10 is equipped with an inverter on the motor, for the regulation of the flow rate/speed, this allows to avoid the insertion of the inverters necessary for the standard fans in the control panel 5 (reducing spaces and costs).
  • the control panel 5 of the system manages the alarms, the start-up and/or regulation of the ventilating box 1, and includes:
  • the flow rate of the ventilating casing 1 for introducing air into the stairwell is defined by a regulatory calculation and the air can be introduced alternatively either from the bottom or from the top of the stairwell.
  • the ventilating casing 1 object of the present system comprises a plurality of fans 10 so that the air flow reaches the required flow rate and is characterized by a redundancy in the number of such fans 10, in order to be of the SIL2 type.
  • the EN12101-6 and prEN12101-13 standards establish that such systems have an additional ventilating casing as a backup, precisely because there is a need for absolute certainty that the system can always operate in the event of a fire.
  • the presence of an additional ventilating casing is not necessary since the plurality of fans 10 causes the ventilating casing 1 to assume a SIL2 reliability, demonstrated by the relative calculation.
  • the ventilating casing 1 has, for example, a flow rate equal to 30,000 m3/h given by the presence of two fans 10 and a further additional fan 10 in redundancy.
  • the further fan 10 automatically takes over which guarantees the redundancy function.
  • adjustable vents 3 positioned on the various floors of the stairwell also ensure an adequate flow rate and correct balancing of the system, for example according to what is described in the Applicant's Italian patent No. 102019000020868 .
  • the pressure sensors 4, the system management control panel 5 and the fan box have SIL2 reliability. This, as already said, allows to guarantee the maximum reliability of the system. This reliability is given by the fact that, in addition to the plant modifications described above, the calculation was carried out according to the series of standards EN 61508 (Functional safety of Electric/Electronic/Programmable Electronic systems) which demonstrates the reliability of the system object of the present invention as SIL2.
  • the legislation prescribes the methods for determining the PFD ("Probability of Failure on Demand") or PFH ("Probability of Failure per Hour”), or the SIL, or the definition of the reliability of components, equipment and systems used in safety applications.
  • the safety systems considered are generally made up of:
  • the PFD (or PFH) value represents the probability that a device or system is unable to provide the required safety function: this probability corresponds to a SIL level, which is an integer number (from a minimum of 1 to a maximum of 4) to express the safety integrity level of the safety device/system in question.
  • SIL level which is an integer number (from a minimum of 1 to a maximum of 4) to express the safety integrity level of the safety device/system in question.
  • control panel 5 ensures that the desired pressure value is maintained in the stairwell. Through the control panel 5 the pressure is constantly measured through the pressure sensors 4 in real time and compared with a set-point value.
  • the operating speed of the fan 1 is therefore managed by the control panel 5 in order to have a precise introduction of air into the stairwell. In fact, excessively high pressures could make it difficult to open the doors, it is therefore essential that the speed of the air passing through an opening must be between 0.75m/s and 2m/s.
  • a possible duct 7 can be installed for the extraction of hot fumes, downstream of which there is at least one suction fan 8, the duct is directly connected to the external environment.
  • the pressurization of the stairwell which prevents the fumes from penetrating inside it is further assisted by the hot fume extraction duct 7 to the full benefit of the safety of the system.
  • the correct functioning of the pressurization system 100 also depends on the regulation of the system. It is essential that the system 100 includes calibrated adjustment elements, such as the adjustable vents 3, with high precision and reliability, which allow the present situations to be reconciled quickly and stably in the event of a fire. It is for this reason that the pressurization system object of the present invention includes components with high functional safety, certified SIL2.
  • control panel 5 in addition to satisfying the most stringent certification requirements, simplifies the installer's work.
