Use of Mobile Fans to Ensure the Safety of Road Tunnels During Fire

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Tunnel structures are usually underground structures forming the infrastructure of a territory that has several specifics. Special requirements are also related to ensuring the safety of tunnels. One of the most important devices involved in ensuring safety is ventilation that is designed in many variants. Ventilation is a technical device where the possibility of defect or failure cannot be completely excluded. An alternative solution to ensure fire ventilation for tunnels can be the mobile fans of rescue units. The resulting effect achieved by mobile fans, especially the air flow velocity in the tunnel, is influenced by many aspects, including the length of the tunnel, the tunnel cross-section, the influence of external conditions, etc. The possibility of using mobile fans will be described in a case study based on a real experiment. Results of the case study show that in some cases mobile fans can be a suitable solution for directing the movement of smoke resulting from fires in a road tunnel. They can provide good conditions for firefighting. However, this is an extraordinary solution that can only complement the design solution for emergency incidents in a road tunnel. Standard tunnel safety systems, including ventilation, cannot be replaced by mobile fans.
