 FIRE
EXTINGUISHING
 Principle:
 Extinguished by removing any one of the elements of the fire tetrahedron:
a -removes the fuel source;
b-covering the flame completely
(displaces it from the area around the flame with CO 2 )
c-application of water, which removes heat from
the fire faster than the fire can produce it .
(For Electrical is strictly prohibited unless such equipment isolate from Power Supply )
d- application of a retardant chemical such as Halon to the flame,
which retards the chemical reaction itself until the rate of
combustion is too slow to maintain the chain reaction.
 Consideration in :

1.Volume of Confined Space/Zone as to be protected.

2.Major type of equipment, Flammable Matter.
3. Area the Place-Open Space.
1.Manufacture Name
2.Fire Suppression Agent Specification.
3.Vapour Pressure
4.Vapour Density
5.Suitablity of the Fire Class.
6.Inspections Date.
7.Expired date
8.Disharge Time
9.Operation Instruction Manual.
System for:
 - initial/early alarms of the fire.
 - assists in fire controlling
 - assists extinguishing the fire .

By means:
-to prevent adverse impacts human life,property/plants
and avoiding fire spreads to other place .
 1.Heat Detector.
 2.Fire Sprinkler
 3.Smoke Detector
 4.Brake/ Smash Glass
 5.Pressure Switch/Sensor
 6.Key Switch
Principle:
Heat from fire causing maximum temperature
of bi-metal strip conductor be reached. It
causing the Bi-metal conductor be bent until
bi-metal changes position the contact either
NO/NC.
Principle:
Heat from fire causing maximum
temperature of liquid in glass bulb.
Due to temperature rise,liquid
expands causes the pressure in glass
bulb be risen . Therefore, glass bulb
be broken.
Principle:
In the case of fire sprinkler, pressure in piping
system dropped due to sprinkler heads is be
discharged.

The pressure detector changing the contact

positions to operate the Fire Control Panel.
Therefore,Control Panel operates the pump
motor.

-HIGH PRESSURE CO2 SYSTEM-
FOR LV MSB ROOM
In these case, system may be using the other Suppression Agents
example :Halons,Halotron/Halocarbon
 Components that be fixed in HP CO2 Fire
Alarm/Extinguisher for LV MSB Room
 1.Smoke Detector
 2.Heat Detector
 3.Fire Alarm Panel
 Key Switch-To discharge CO2 Manually
 Fireman Switch-To Trip Electric Supply through Breaker
 Flashing Lamp-As warning conditions either CO2 Discharge or not.
 Solenoid Valve.-To open the Valve of C02 LP Cylinder
 CO2 LP Cylinders-Discharge the gas CO2 to open the valve of CO2 HP Cylinder.
 CO2 HP Cylinders-Discharge the gas to extinguishing the fire
