Fire Test Study and FDS Verification of Spray Water Volume for Small-Sized Bookstores in the Revitalization of Historical Buildings
Small bookstores constructed before the 1970s have a high fire risk in the context of the revitalization of historical buildings; while the setup of simple sprinklers is an effective and cheap method of extinguishing fires, the parameters of the sprinklers are uncertain.

| description | Small bookstores constructed before the 1970s have a high fire risk in the context of the revitalization of historical buildings; while the setup of simple sprinklers is an effective and cheap method of extinguishing fires, the parameters of the sprinklers are uncertain. In this study, small bookstores in Beijing were selected, and physical combustion experiments with/without a sprinkler system were carried out following the provisions of the Code for the Design of Sprinkler Systems. After the experiments, an FDS model was set up using fire dynamics software. The results show that the total heat release rate (HRR) of books and desks is related to the square of time, with a coefficient of 2.528 × 10<sup>−6</sup>, and the maximum heat release rate is 40 KW. Unlike the standard test, the physical combustion experiment is significantly affected by the space. According to numerical simulations, when the sprinkler flow velocity is 60~100 L/min, the water consumption of the sprinkler is 195~218 L. This study lays the foundation for the analysis of the combustion characteristics of small bookstores and provides data support for the installation of simple sprinkler systems in small bookstores. |
