SYSTEM
• Foam bladder tank: Stores the foam concentrate, which is the liquid
that is mixed with water to create foam
• Foam agent: This is the chemical that is added to the water to create
foam. There are different types of foam agents, each with its own
properties

CONTROL PANEL
When fire occurs in its protected area, press
emergency start button, messages can
be sent to gas extinguishing control panel, which will
give gas extinguishing command and start the
solenoid after delay
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
1. Detection / releasing system installed will be operating on cross zone philosophy (Double
Knock Interlock).
a. Activation of any zone heat detector in any detection zone shall:
Cause a first stage Alarm.
Energize a lamp of the activated Detector and Control panel.
Operates first stage Alarm bell.
Transmit an Alarm signal to Fire Alarm Panel.
a. Activation of second zone heat detector shall:
Cause foam discharge flashing Beacon and Sounder to operate.
Initiate a programmable delayed electrical output for deluge valve.
OPERATION PHILOSOPHY
2. The releasing control panel gives the signal to solenoid valve, thus solenoid valve is actuated
to open the deluge valve.
3. The pressure switch senses pressure difference because of deluge valve opening and gives
signal to the release control panel.
4. The releasing control panel will give signal to operate the deluge valve.
5.The water from the nearest wet system in which the foam sprinkler system is connected
OPERATION PHILOSOPHY
enters the protection piping to the foam nozzles through the foam proportioner located in foam
bladder tank. The water shall also enter the foam bladder tank through a gate valve, squeezing
the bladder tank to inject foam compound at a required concentration to proportioner.
6. The proportioner mixes the required foam concentrate with the flowing water and the
mixture is conveyed to all open type nozzles through piping. The foam shall be formed at
open type nozzles and discharges down to the floor.
OPERATION PHILOSOPHY
7. When the deluge valve is activated, there will be a reduction in pressure in fire water main.
A pressure transducer located on each of the local control panels, senses the pressure drop and
the fire water pumps are started automatically in sequence, pressurizing the pipe work
allowing the foam nozzle to discharge spray.
8. The foam at floor level shall form a blanket / layer thereby shutting down the oxygen to
extinguish the fire. (System is designed to form a density of 12.2 lpm/m2 (12 mm/m2) of
foam and water mixture for 10 minutes)
OPERATION PHILOSOPHY
9. There is a manual release panel installed near the door which will open the deluge valve
immediately without any delay.
10. Any faults on the system, will appear on fire extinguishing panel and fire extinguishing
panel will transmit Fault / Trouble signal to main fire alarm panel.
