Wet Chemicals

19
Q
  • Fire suppressant
  • Odorless and colorless removes oxygen in the air
  • Dangerous and only recommended for unstaffed areas i.e. electrical substations
20
Q
  • Fire suppressant
  • Chemical reaction that consumes energy and lowers temperature of fire
  • Has ozone depleting properties and is being phase out
21
Q
  • Sprinkler System
  • Contains a small glass bulb (or metal order versions) designed to melt or break at a specific temperature
  • Causing the sprinkler head to open and water to flow.
  • Pipes are always filled with water
22
Q
  • Sprinkler System
  • Valve holds the water back and will remain closed as long as sufficient air pressure remains in the pipes.
  • Pipes filled with compress air
23
Q
  • Sprinkler System

- Sprinkler heads are open and larger than dry pipe heads

24
Q
  • Sprinkler System

- Combination of different sprinkler systems and requires two separate triggers to release water
