Design of fire extinguishing systems

Fire extinguishing system project

The fire extinguishing system design includes a number of items:

classification of the structure;

selection of optimal parameters depending on its type;

creating a plan based on basic operational characteristics.

Operational characteristics include the passage of the premises, the distribution of visitors into real and estimated, compliance with the temperature regime. When it comes to industrial buildings, all factors are taken into account when designing alarm and fire extinguishing systems - the use of forklifts, the arrangement of pallets inside the racks, etc. A traditional sprinkler system cannot be used in any production or warehouse premises precisely because it causes great damage to many materials that can be stored in this type of premises, and most often in the open - in bulk.

Therefore, it is necessary to select the system individually for each individual case and select the type of fire protection system and fire extinguishing agents based on the individual requirements of each specific facility.

At the design stage, not only are the types of sensors selected and the layout of the fire protection system communications is designed and the locations of fire extinguishing nodes are determined, but a system with one of the

types of fire extinguishing agents

water;

gas;

foam;

aerosol;

powder;

or a hybrid combined system is created with several of the listed agents.

Fire protection system design approval

All principles and stages of designing an automatic fire extinguishing system, design standards, must comply with current industry standards. An experienced specialist can tell you more about them, depending on the type of premises, region and specifics - therefore it is important to responsibly approach the issue of choosing a contractor for such work.

The approval process includes several key steps:

Equipment selection – the main criterion here will be compliance with the assessment of the potential fire, its class and possible risks;

Calculation of the speed of action – the speed with which the equipment is triggered completely determines the duration with which the area will be treated. In turn, this affects the potential damage to material assets;

The functional type of fire extinguishing system is assumed - automatic or manual;

A substance for extinguishing is selected - and the main thing here is not only efficiency, but also possible damage from the impact on the material values of the premises.

Usually, if the conditions and speed of evacuation of people allow, the choice is made on powder or gas means: they are considered the safest in relation to the funds themselves and the equipment located in them.
The design standards for fire extinguishing systems fully regulate the selection of funds depending on the danger of the most likely fire for a particular room. The intensity of the possible fire, the speed of spread, potential damage and all other factors are assessed.

You should only contact accredited professionals for the implementation of such a project - this way you can be sure that even at the very initial stage - the design, everything will be done qualitatively and in accordance with all regulatory requirements of the law and safety. If you are interested in the service of installing fire protection or fire safety systems, including fire alarms, smoke removal and fire extinguishing, then we recommend that you contact the company Antifire . The specialists of this company have repeatedly implemented projects created in our Architectural Bureau.
