Abstract


The aim of this paper is a comparative analysis of rules for arrangement and distribution of fire detectors in corridors and narrow places according to five leading standards for fire detection systems design in the world: EN 54-14, VDE 0833-2, BS 5839-1, НПБ 88 and NFPA 72. The reason for such analysis is obvious - the European standard does not define the corridor, only the narrow rooms are mentioned, but the other standards precisely define the term corridor as well as the rules for siting and spacing of point fire detectors. The comparative analysis is made by means of simulation model using PyroSim software, version 2012, which presents a graphical user interface for the Fire Dynamics Simulator (FDS).
