5 Fire Suppression Systems

A
  1. Water-based Suppression System
  2. Chemical Foam Suppression System
  3. Pneumatic Heat Detection Tube
  4. Pressurized Gas System
  5. Foam Deluge System
30
Q

One of the most commokn fire protection systems uses water to knock out fires. Water is housed in a reservoir and or connected to the water supply.

A

Water-based Suppression System

31
Q

It’s more expensive than several other fire suppression systems and requires pipework and fittings madr from stainless steel.

A

Chemical Foam Suppression

32
Q

It is an extunguisher with a fire detection system.

A

Pneumatic Heat Detectiom Tube

33
Q

This is ideal for server rooms and other areas with high-end electronics. It’s compact since the gas is under pressure, and it doesn’t cause oxygen reduction.

A

Pressurized Gas System

34
Q

It is used in areas where water suppression isn’t possible such as transformers and oil tanks. When a fire is detected, water mixes with the foam to expand it and fire.

A

Foam Deluge System

35
Q

3 Evacuation Requirements

A
  1. Emergency Lighting
  2. Exit Signs
  3. Evacuation Plans
36
