2. DESCRIPTION
The firefighting system can be divided in following sub systems:
2.1. Water based firefighting system
2.2. C02 flooding system for generators

2.3. Chemical mobile, portable and stationary firefighting system

2.4. Fire detection and alarm system
2.1. Water based firefighting system

2.1.1.Water source
The fire extinguish systems of the project which are using water, will be supplied from the existing over-
head tank dedicated for the firefighting as specified in schematic diagram. The existing filling water system
will also be retained.
2 nos. of DN150 pipe lines are coming from the overhead tank which gets joined near cooling towers at El.
1122.85. 2 no. gate valves are provided in these lines before joining. During site visit, it is noted that
these galvanized pipes are newly installed and in good working condition. Therefore, we propose to
retain the same.
One no. pressure regulating valve (0SGA10 AA301) is provided near switchgear room. This is used to
maintain the 7 bar pressure in the firefighting header.
Pressure gauges (0SGA10 CP501 & 502) are provided for local indication of water pressure before and af-
ter the pressure regulating valve. Pressure switch (0SGA10 CP301) is provided to provide alarm in case
pressure exceed from 7 bars.
2.1.2.Control philosophy of water supply system.

In normal condition, Valves for water supply shall be open condition and water shall be available for Hy-
drant and Spray system. In case of malfunctioning in pressure reducing valve, if pressure increases in the
firefighting header, pressure switch shall be activated to provide alarm.
2.1.3.Hydrant System
The water for the hydrant system of the power plant will be taken out of the water supply line. The water
will be leaded through a pipeline with a nominal diameter of 150mm to the hydrants.
Total 3 no. single headed outdoor hydrants (0SGA10 AA201 to 203) are installed in the power house out-
side & other associated area. These will be replaced with the new supplied hydrants. Piping for these hy-
drants is in good condition and will be retained.
The fire hose cabinets (0SGA10 BU001 to 003) are installed near each outdoor hydrant. These will be re-
placed with new cabinets. The hose cabinet will be equipped with fire hose that could be served with wa-
ter out of the hydrant system and shall be 30m as a minimum.
Inside the power plant, no hydrant is installed currently. 8 nos. new hose cabinets (0SGX20 BU001 to
008) will be installed, to ensure that all areas of each floor could be reached by a water based fire extin-
guishing system. Each cabinet shall be equipped with and fire hose reel with 30m of hose and single head-
ed hydrant valve.
Piping containing water for filling and supply header will be heavy duty carbon steel ERW pipes as per
IS:1239.
2.1.4.HVWS system for generator transformer, 25 MVA power transformer & 3.5 MVA power trans-
former
1 no. 25 MVA transformer is provided with wet pilot type deluge valve station, spray & detection network
which is installed recently and is in good working condition. This will be retained. Other 3 nos. generator
transformer, 1 no. 25 MVA transformer and 2 no. 3.5 MVA transformers are provided with dry pilot type

pneumatic operated deluge valve stations which will be replaced with wet pilot type deluge stations.
3 nos. generator transformers, 1 no. 25 MVA and 2 no. 3.5 MVA power transformers will be surrounded by
new supplied spray header ring and detection header ring. Spray header ring will be fitted with open high
velocity spray nozzles. The ring main will be connected to the water source header through a wet pilot del-
uge valve station (0SGC10 QH001, 0SGC11 QH001, 0SGC12 QH001, 0SGC21 QH001, 0SGC30 QH001
& 0SGC31 QH001). Deluge valve station will house the deluge valve, y strainer, valves, right angle cock,
water motor gong, pressure gauge, pressure switch etc.).
The spray header will remain charged with water under pressure up to the inlet of the deluge valve. Detec-
tion header ring will be pressurized with water tapped from the upstream of the deluge valve upto the
quartzite bulb (QB) detectors, rated at 79 Deg. C.
Density of discharge will be 10.2 lpm/m2 and the pressure at the hydraulically remotest nozzle will not be
less than 3.5 Kg/cm2 as per NFPA requirement.
The water motor gong will give the local alarm (mechanical) whenever spray system operates. The water
motor gong is a hydraulically driven mechanical bell, which makes continuous alarm when the spray sys-
tem operates.
All piping after new supplied deluge valve station (Spray & detection header piping) will also be
supplied new, water feed pipes upto deluge valve station will be hydro tested and retained if found
ok in hydro test, otherwise will be replaced.
2.1.5.Operation Philosophy of HVWS system for GT & other power transformer

The system is capable of automatic actuation by following Signals:
 Signal from QB heat detector- In the event of fire, the bulb near to fire breaks, causing a drop in the
line pressure, by which the deluge valve will be open and the water spray starts. Pressure switch
provided in the detection ring will provide the fire signal to Main Fire alarm panel
OR
 Signal from transformer differential protection system from protection panel to main fire alarm pan-
el, Fire alarm panel shall send command signal to solenoid valve to operate deluge valve automat-
ically.

header will be connected to the water source header through a wet pilot deluge valve station (0SGC40
QH001, 0SGC41 QH001 & 0SGC50 QH001). Deluge valve station will house the deluge valve, y strainer,

pressure regulating valve, valves, right angle cock, water motor gong, pressure gauge, pressure switch
etc.).
The spray header will remain charged with water under pressure up to the inlet of the deluge valve. Density
of discharge will be 12.2 lpm/m2 and the pressure at the hydraulically remotest nozzle will not be less than
2.8 Kg/cm2 as per NFPA/TAC requirement.
The water motor gong will give the local alarm (mechanical) whenever spray system operates. The water

motor gong is a hydraulically driven mechanical bell, which makes continuous alarm when the spray sys-
tem operates.
