Technology fire-extinguishing systems develop together with the General technical progress, proposing more effective means of security. It is sufficient to note the wide variety of powder mixtures, including bulk active ingredients that suppress ignition. And yet the most affordable in terms of organization and the price remains fire-water, which complements and modern means of delivery of the material to the source of the fire.

Features of water as a means of fighting the fire

fire water

The Main advantage of water in the context of the elimination of sources of ignition is the environmental friendliness, relatively high efficiency and as a consequence versatility. This resource is used at the sites of production, in public buildings and in the private sector. However, water and foam extinguishing not recommended for use in fighting fire if there is danger of property damage and equipment. Here has a negative value of the property of water as a conductor. In addition, the use of water is impossible at low temperatures – for example, in winter or in terms of industries, working at negative temperature.

With regard to the ability of the material to extinguish the fire, the effectiveness of the struggle is caused by the process of lowering the temperature of the hearth due to the heat capacity of water. In addition, such fire extinguishing systems contribute to the cessation of hazardous chemical reactions accompanying the combustion.

For the function of water flow, almost all systems use pumping stations with high blood pressure, which work by electric motors. In order to increase reliability in enterprises use and stand-by pumps installed on a single platform with the main unit. To complete the task of irrigation applied to the spray modules. They can have different configurations of placement, size, frequency of feed, etc.

In the newest units are modules to work with the water mist. In addition, fire fighting water requires technical infrastructure of switchgear. This is an intermediate module connecting the water supply and the channels through which submission of material is on a separate irrigation device. For the organization of a reliable water infrastructure uses components from stainless steels, oriented for operation in conditions of high thermal loads. The use of plastic materials is of the most popular in plumbing polyvinyl chloride, for example, in this case is excluded.

Sprinkler water fire-fighting system

water and foam extinguishing

This type of System are based on water pipelines, constantly filled with water at the optimum pressure. Technical infrastructure is often located in the upper part of the premises – for example, under the roofs or in ceiling niche. To supply the channels is allocated a separate water line. Directly the water flow at the target site is carried out sprinklers, that is, irrigating sprinklers.

Releasing the devices are equipped with special nozzles, which under the influence of high temperature melt, freeing the passage for the water. Modern modifications of sprinkler water extinguishing systems is carried out not direct feed, and drip. Moreover, the fraction of droplets so small that in the process formed water fog, darkening the space. This decision is motivated by the desire to minimize the damage directly from the water to the property, which is in the serviced area.

Device deluge systems

Deluge installation, externally, may resemble the previous version of the fire system, but it has a few fundamental differences. First off, nozzles open sprinklers are not designed to disengagement under the influence of fire. They do not burn and do not melt and, on the contrary, are made of materials with thermal protection. Second, activation of extinguishing, that is, the process of irrigation starts only after a signal from fire detectors or a manual start from the operator console. It can be the installation of water and foam fire fighting, which in the normal standby mode, not filled with working material. Submission of the same water delivery channels to the nozzles begins only after the command to extinguish. Therefore, the sprinkler heads are always open.

Typically, deluge systems are used in industrial plants to reach specific areas. There is a configuration point of spraying to the border areas, the protection of which aims at preventing the further spread of the fire.

The new project of fire fighting system

Development of the design solution is based on several factors of the system operation. In the first place formed the scheme of a pipeline that will ensure the possibility of maintaining sufficient pressure in the extinguishing water in the context of this specific object. Calculatedthe diameter of the pipe, the configuration of their installation, method of connection etc. Then calculated the optimal parameters of power equipment.

The Main power unit will pump. Its capacity is estimated based on the needs of specific areas in the coverage of sprays. The fact that the design of fire extinguishing must take into account the possible intensity of the fire – the higher the threat, the greater the number of nozzles should be present in the room. Accordingly, the system displays the total demand in the power capacity of the pump. Based on the design data already artists are beginning installation of the event.

Installation of fire suppression systems

The hardware installation Process consists of three main stages. The first stage is laying water supply network which will be implemented by the water supply. Pipes are subject to large loads and the ability to maintain a high pressure. The difficulty of this event lies in the fact that the channels of water flow towards the top part of the room. Therefore, initially the project premises must provide a special niche for communications. In the second phase, installation of fire extinguishing requires the connection of the pumping station. It will be installed in the water intake or connection of the pipeline to feed the Central network.

For the pump it is desirable to provide a small platform which can provide the stability. If the unit is electric, it should be provided access to a power outlet. The final step is to install spraying devices – sprinklers or open sprinklers. They are integrated in the ceiling niche through special fittings and are connected to connecting channels, water supply lines fire fighting.

Accessories for nebulizers

Manufacturers of fire extinguishing systems regularly improve the device spraying water, offering tech accessories. During the project design of fire suppression systems will not be superfluous to consider the fastening system of sprinklers for more reliable operation. In particular, experts recommend to apply for this bendable limit switches, made of corrugated stainless steel pipes. This solution is specifically designed to integrate those same sprinklers in suspended ceiling structures. To ensure longevity fire-fighting water is recommended to protect against accidental mechanical impacts. You can use a small metal grates, frames and even masking caps. But it is important to keep in mind that at system startup, these devices must immediately fall back.

Automatic fire suppression systems

And deluge, and sprinkler systems can be automated. This means that the system will be handled without operator intervention. Implemented automatic extinguishing systems using controllers and sensors – basic set of modern fire alarms. As for the controller, in the circle of his tasks is sending a signal about the beginning of the extinguishing module, which opens the valve for admission of water to the spray nozzles, the notification of responsible persons about the fire and run the pumping station. No cost, automatic fire extinguishing and without sensors. Are devices that directly record the fact of the fire, transmitting a corresponding signal to the controller.

Reviews about water fire

Most users of water extinguishing systems – owners of warehouses, factories, studios and shops. According to them, the design is reliable and stable work. The sputtering efficiency is also satisfactory, although this feature depends on how well implemented the installation of the injectors. Praise fire and water for a small cost of consumables. Water is much cheaper compared to the powder, gas, and even foam systems. As for the cons, there is the complexity of the technical devices of the pipeline.

Conclusion

designing of fire extinguishing

The trained eye of a firefighter can quickly identify the weaknesses of the target premises for possible sources of ignition. And just as quickly determine the most efficient configuration of the location of the functional components of the system. Because experts approach to solving problems of the organization of fire safety comprehensively, taking into account many different nuances. If the task organization of a universal set of protection, automatic fire extinguishing system will be the best solution. Its advantage is not only the deliverance of the personnel from extra action and rapid response to an emerging flashpoint, but also the possibility of combining with other engineering equipment. For example, ventilation system – upon detection of fire or smoke the same controller will command not only the extinguishing system, but the valves of air ducts that will close or, on the contrary, will open the shaft depending on the positioning of fire.
