Please refer to Typical diagrams “ GP0CUL-XA00-F7800-AD001” attached of
this specification.
2.1 Water spray system - (with foam for Emergency Diesel Generator)
2.1.1 Description of the system
Area protected with Water spray system have been indicated in the attached table
at end of this document “Applicable System”.
Hydraulic units using water glycole or fire resistant fluids( such as EAF, LF and
CCM hydraulic units) do not require automatic extinguishing systems.
The water spray automatic extinguishing systems shall be designed and realized
according to NFPA 15/16 standards.
Water spray (deluge) system is a special fixed pipe system connected to the Fire
Fighting water distribution system, equipped with spray nozzles for specific water
discharge and distribution over the surface or area to be protected.
The automatic deluge valve is actuated by the detection system - via control
panel - installed in the same areas as the water spray nozzles.
When the extinguishing system is activated as mentioned above, the water can
pass through the distribution pipe and the open spray nozzle (high velocity type),
forming a carried spray consisting of droplets of water flowing at high velocity on
the protected equipment.
Water gongs shall be provided on water spray deluge system and foam water
spray deluge system. The gong shall operate when the water discharges. Flow
switches in the water circuits shall transmit the alarm to the main fire alarm
panel.
Detectors set temperature shall be chosen considering the normal environmental
conditions of the involved area.
The water shall be applied at a rate not less than 10.2 l/min/m2 of projected
area of rectangular prism enveloping the equipment.
Wherever necessary suitable foaming devices like tank, mixer etc will be
supplied. These are foreseen in order to produce an highly effective extinguishing
agent in the form of a low-expansion foam, especially indicated for the protection
against fire of flammable liquids, oil, greases. The foam in fact, forms an
extinguishing coating above the liquid that suffocate the flames. The foam
solution discharge shall be designed for a period of 10 min. based on the max.
flow rate.
The flow shall be stopped only manually by closing the gate valve installed before
the deluge valve.
The alarm shall also be noticed in the involved area by alarm sirens with an
adequate efficiency.
The equipment shall be according to the standard of the country of origin.
2.1.2 Main Requirements to be applied on the existing Automatic

detection & alarm system in order to manage the additional Water
Spray system.
The water spray system requires the integration of at least the following items in
the existing expandable fire control panels:
 logic extinguishing cards,
 input/output electronic cards,
 electronic card supporting racks,
 enhanced batteries
 etc
to receive signals from the electrical equipment part of the water spray systems
(like fire extinguishing control panels, pressure switches, flow switches, solenoid
valves) to activate the extinguishing sequences.
The software/logic of the fire control panel shall be upgraded to manage the
extinguishing systems, along with the existing video graphic maps shown on the
Supervisor system.
These activities must be performed by qualified personnel.
2.1.3 Main Requirements on the fire water distribution network
Water spray system feeding piping line shall be connected to the main fire water
distribution network through dedicated pipe branches suitable for future
extension : please refer to P&ID GP0CUL-XA00-P7800-AD101.
2.1.4 Main Requirements for Civil Works
Suitable spaces shall be provided for Water spray valve, close to the protected
area. Drainage system shall be provided in protected area and in valve area.
Holes in wall / floor / ceiling shall be provided according to the Detail Design of
the Piping Routing.
2.2 Sprinkler system (electrical tunnel)

Area protected with Sprinkler system have been indicated in the attached table
at end of this document “Applicable System”.
The sprinkler automatic extinguishing systems shall be designed and realized
according to NFPA 13 standards.
This system according to NFPA rules, allow to cool the area, extinguish eventual
fires and make good smoke abatement with consequential safety for people.
The areas protected by sprinkler system do not require a separate detection
system because sprinkler system will be equipped with heat sensitive frangible
bulbs which act themselves as detectors by breaking in case of fire and thus
activating the water extinguishing of the sprinkler system itself.
Closed-head water sprinkler system can be designed as wet type sprinkler or dry
type sprinkler depending on the ambient temperature conditions (for freezing
problems) : in this Integrated Plant, due to the cold environmental conditions
during winter ( T = -11°C) it is recommended to adopt the dry type sprinkler
which the pipes are normally empty of water and filled in with compressed air -
supplied by a dedicated air compressor- thus avoiding installation of piping heat
tracing and insulation.
The sprinklers orifices are normally maintained close by means of a frangible
bulb containing a high expansible fluid.
In case of fire, the heat breaks the bulb and opens the orifice: in this way it
allows the compressed air to escape and the clapper of the sprinkler valve to
open, having the subsequent passage of water inside the pipes. The water that
flows into the intermediate chamber of the valve activates the pressure switch
which in turns activates an electrical alarm and a hydraulic alarm such as water
gong. Flow switches in the water circuits shall transmit the alarm to the fire
alarm panel.
In case of very large or separate areas it is possible to install only one alarm valve
and the area involved in the fire will be recognized and alarmed using the signal
of flow switch installed on the pipe header of each area.
The flow shall be stopped only manually by closing the gate valve installed before
the sprinkler valve.
The system shall be sized in order to discharge the max flowrate.
Areas up to 232 m2 shall be sized for 12 l/min/m2. Sprinkler valve shall cover
areas greater than 232m2 if sized for 170m³/h.
The alarm shall also be noticed in the involved area by alarm sirens with an
The equipment shall be according to the standard of the country of origin.

detection & alarm system to manage the additional Sprinkler system.
