SYSTEM - EXPLANATION

Thermal expansion Use heat sensitive metal link that expand at a predetermined
detectors temperature to make contact and ultimately sound an alarm

Photoelectric fire Detect changes in infrared energy that radiated by smoke


sensors Often by smoke particles obscuring the photoelectric beam
Open under acceptable condition & closed to complete the alarm
circuit when smoke interferes
Ionization or Use tendency of radioactive substance to ionize when exposed to
radiation sensors smoke
Substance become electrically conductive with smoke exposure &
permit alarm circuit to be complete
Ultraviolet or Sound an alarm when radiation from fire flames is detected
infrared detectors When rapid changes in radiation intensities are detected, a fire alarm
signal is given

AUTOMATIC FIRE SUPPRESSION
SYSTEM
• The Inergen gaseous system is an inert gas fire suppressant consisting
of natural gases and extinguishes fire without causing harm to
people, property or the environment.
• Inergen is a patented unique composition of safe gases including
nitrogen, argon and carbon dioxide that naturally already occur
within the normal atmosphere we all breathe so it overcomes flames,
not people.
• Inergen is designed to detect smoke, release the extinguishment gas
and suppress the fire before any significant damage occurs.
FOAM SPRINKLER SYSTEM

• A foam-water system sprinkler system is a special system that is pipe-


connected to a source of foam concentrate and to a water supply
equipped with appropriate discharge devices for extinguishing agent
discharge and for distribution over the area to be protected.
• The piping system is connected to the water supply through a control
valve that is usually actuated by operation of automatic electrical
detection equipment or from pneumatically charged sprinkler head
detection.

FIRE HYDRANT SYSTEM

“Fire hydrant system” is a water supply with sufficient


pressure and flow delivered through pipes throughout a
building to strategically located network of valves for fire-
fighting purposes.
