    Qcdfss-7.2 - Car Park Smoke Ventiilation System

    Uploaded by

    Michael Farid
    This document outlines fire safety standards for enclosed car park smoke control ventilation systems in Qatar. It provides minimum requirements for smoke control systems, including that they must provide 10 air changes per hour of ventilation and conduct computational fluid dynamics (CFD) fire modeling for alternative solutions. The CFD modeling must use specific fire size, heat, location, and acceptance criteria parameters. It also mandates that smoke control systems have automatic activation, manual override controls, adequate sizing for simultaneous carbon monoxide dilution of multiple levels, and commissioning testing witnessed by a QCD inspector.

    Item Provisions Notes

    1 Car park smoke control ventilation systems using ducts that extract Deemed to
    smoke from high level and low level (a minimum of 50% of the comply
    extraction area shall be at low level) designed in accordance with NFPA requirements
    88A and the ASHRAE Handbook and providing 10 air changes per hour
    shall be deemed to comply with these requirements.

    2 Alternative solutions and systems using jet fans must be designed with
    the use of CFD fire modelling and the following input parameters.

    2.1 For enclosed parking structures that permit only passenger cars (means Design fire
    of preventing goods vehicles must be detailed in the submission), the
    minimum design fire size shall be as follows.
    Passenger
    (a) For sprinkler protected car parks, 4 MW, 2m x 5m, vehicles
    (b) For car parks without sprinklers, 8MW, 5m x 5m

    2.2 For enclosed car parks that permit goods vehicles, the minimum steady- Goods vehicles
    state single design fire must be 10 MW and the designer must justify
    why a larger size fire should not be assumed.

    2.3 The assumed design fire shall be flaming polyurethane

    2.4 The design fire must be in the most onerous location, usually the most Location of
    remote location from the exhaust points and at a point in-between two design fire
    zones for zoned systems.
    The designer must provide justification for the selection of the most
    onerous location.

    2.5 The following acceptance criteria at 1,8m above the floor level must be Acceptance
    attained within a 10m radius of the design fires after 20 minutes. criteria
    (a) Visibility must be a minimum of 10 m all other areas must be
    greater than 10m
    (b) Temperature of the smoke layer must not exceed 60º C

    2.6 The duration of CFD simulation must be a minimum of 30 minutes. Grid size
    Grid size must be a maximum of 0.2m x 0.2m x 0.2m within 10m of the
    design fire and a maximum of 0.4m x 0.4m x 0.4m for all other areas.

    3 Exhaust fans Exhaust fans


    (a) Must be configured such that failure of any single fan will not result
    in more than a 50% reduction of air flow.
    (b) Must have an alternate source of power such as emergency
    generator

    4 Activation of the smoke control system must be automatic using either Activation of

    (b) Smoke detection system


    (c) Heat detection system
    The designer shall consider the affects the ventilation system on the
    response of the sprinkler system. Justification must be provided to show
    that the ventilation system will not delay operation of the sprinkler
    system.

    5 Manual override must be provided for all smoke control systems in the Manual override
    form of an illuminated rotary switch must be provided at the fire
    command centre to allow for the following modes of operation.
    x Automatic
    x Manual
    x Off

    6 Where multiple levels of enclosed car parks are protected by the same CO dilution of
    ventilation system, the size of equipment and make-up air inlets and adjacent zones
    exhaust air outlets must be of adequate size to allow for simultaneous and other car
    CO dilution of the adjacent zones and other levels at the minimum rate parking levels
    of 6 ACH.

    7 The commissioning and acceptance testing must be carried out in the Commissioning
    presence of a QCD inspector. Such testing must consist of a hot smoke and witness
    test, prepared and carried out in accordance with AS 4391. For jet fan testing
    systems, BS 7346, Part 7 may be used as a guide.
