Fire Extinguishers & Hydrant System Accessories
A fire extinguisher, or extinguisher, is an active fire protection device used to extinguish or control small fires, often in emergency situations. It is not intended for use on an out-of-control fire, such as one which has reached the ceiling, endangers the user (i.e., no escape route, smoke, explosion hazard, etc.), or otherwise requires the expertise of a fire department Typically, a fire extinguisher consists of a hand-held cylindrical pressure vessel containing an agent which can be discharged to extinguish a fire. In the United States, fire extinguishers in all buildings other than houses are generally required to be serviced and inspected by a Fire Protection service company at least annually. Some jurisdictions require more frequent service for fire extinguishers. The servicer places a tag on the extinguisher to indicate the type of service performed (annual inspection, recharge, and new fire extinguisher).
Fire Hydrant System
Fire Fighting Hydrant Systems are the most commonly used systems, inmany residential and industrial projects. If you have ever seen a “Red”color pipe, circulating around a building or factory, you have seen a FireHydrant Pipe. In most news clippings about a fire, you can see a firemanshooting water up to 8stories high or more, that fire man is using the FireHydrant System. Such is the power of the Fire Hydrant System that watercan be shot right up to 8 floor, directly into the fire.IS IT ALWAYS NECESSARY TO PROVIDE FIRE PROTECTION WITH FIRE HYDRANTSYSTEMS?Fire Hydrant Systems forms the basis, of Fire Protection Systems,without Fire Hydrant System a Fire Protection System cannot be called aFire Protection System. It will be a superficial system. (With respect tolarge areas, in general). Fire Hydrant System installation is relativelyeasy.HOW DO FIRE HYDRANT SYSTEMS FUNCTION?A special well is dug, called "Fire Well", where water is stored throughoutthe year for 365days. This water well is connected to the pump room.From the pump room, there are two to three main pipes. These pipesform a network of pipe that cover the factory compound and the factory.The pump has the work, to continuously filling all the pipes connectedwith water under pressure. The pressure is nearly 7bar to 10bar.
Gas SuppressionSystem
Fire Protection Gas Suppression System or simply called as Automatic Fire Suppression System (or Gas Suppression System), is relatively a new technology in India. Unlike conventional system that use water, in Gas Based Fire Suppression System; water is never used and yet the fire is extinguished. Here Gas is used to extinguish the fire. Hence it is a Gas Based system. The fire gets extinguished, within a minute of activation and everything is automatic.
IS IT ALWAYS NECESSARY TO PROVIDE FIRE PROTECTION WITH GAS SUPPRESSION SYSTEM? OR WHY GO FOR A GAS SUPPRESSION SYSTEM? Absolutely not in certain areas like Server Systems, Art Galleries or near delicate machinery, water can cause more and permanent damage than the fire. In the Server Room, the data in the server is more costly than the server itself. If the art piece or data gets damaged or lost; it would result in an immeasurable loss. HOW DO GAS SUPPRESSION SYSTEM FUNCTION? Gas Suppression Systems are generally used in concealed rooms. The principle used by Gas Suppression System is by breaking the Fire Triangle, the fire ceases to exist. In the room, protected by Gas Suppression System, there are various detectors placed at various locations. Each detector constantly monitors the room for signs of fire. As soon as fire is detected, an alarm is sounded, to the personnel to evacuate the entire room. Then, the gas like, Novec, Clean Agent or Co2 is released in the enclosed room. Thus, the oxygen in the room is rapidly reduced, to a level where fire cannot exist. However, living organisms remain unharmed, because of the gas. Because of such a system, all the delicate or critical items remain untouched and unharmed by fire or water. There are generally, two principles used in Gas Suppression System
System Kitchen Suppression
1. Quick & Easy installation directly above high-risk cooking areas: The flexible sensor tubing is easily installed directly inside the extractor hood - directly above cooking area.When in service, the tubing is pressurized with dry nitrogen to 16 bar. The dynamics of pressurization make the tubing more reactive to heat. 2. Early fire detection: If a flame-up occurs, the heat of the fire causes the pressurized sensor tube to burst at the hottest spot (approx. 175°C)3. Instant suppression: The sudden tube depressurization actuates the special pressure Differential valve and instantly floods the cooking area with Class F Extinguishing agent. The fire is quickly suppressed just moments after it began... minimizing damage and downti
