A fire suppression system is not merely placing different fire fighting suppressants within an establishment, it is the meticulous designing of a plan to address possible dangers of fire hazards. This involves the detection, controlling, and extinguishing of fires, whether automatically or manually, in order to protect people and assets within a building. What’s particularly complex about fire suppression systems is that one solution may not fit for another.
Say, for example, we may need a different approach to a fire suppression system for special environments such as facilities, since they house different irreplaceable electronic data as to residential areas.
As mentioned, there are different fire suppression solutions, and it highly depends on what is needed and what needs to be protected. The following are some key types of fire suppression systems:
Also known as the Sprinkler System. It is the most common type of fire suppression system known to use pipes filled with water and a network of sprinkler heads as end points efficiently scattered throughout the building. Once heat, smoke, or fire, depending on the sensitivity of the sprinkler, it will release water to extinguish the flames.
This type of fire suppression system uses chemicals like FM-200 to extinguish fires. Instead of dousing the flames, the fires are usually cooled through disrupting of the chemical reaction. Clean Agent Systems are used for highly specialized facilities that house sensitive equipment.
is a type of fire suppression system used to control fires that involve highly flammable liquids, such as oils or chemicals through covering or blanketing the fire, limiting oxygen gas from reaching the flames to suppress the fire. This is the type of fire suppressing system used in airports and chemical plants.
