Foam System Calculations

The document contains calculations for the foam fire suppression system for a generator room at the IBA Hotel Qatar in Doha. It includes the room dimensions, sprinkler spacing, solution density, discharge time, and foam concentration. The calculations determine the primary solution volume, total discharge rate, required foam volume, and minimum required number of sprinklers for the room. A similar analysis is presented for the generator room of the El-NOUR SEQURITIES HEADQUARTERS project in Smart Village.
