What is a fire alarm system?
The fire alarm system actually has the task of informing the residents of the house or building about the occurrence of accidents such as fire or gas leakage in order to prevent a bigger accident. In fact, this intelligent system does not take any other action to control the fire and needs another device called fire extinguishing system.
The sensors installed in the fire alarm system detect gas or heat more than the specified limits in the space; They act quickly and activate the sirens and flashers of the house in order to warn.
What is a fire extinguishing system?
This system has the task of suppressing fire and is the most important factor to reduce fire and prevent loss of life. You must have heard the name of fire triangle by now. This triangle is a simple model to familiarize you with the factors that play an effective role in the formation and spread of fire. The three important elements of the fire triangle are: fuel the heat Oxygen
Manual firefighting system
The manual fire extinguishing system needs a human force to extinguish the flames and does not have any automatic function. Fire extinguishers are also different according to the type of fire and which class they are in. The types of fire extinguishers are: Water and gas extinguishers Powder extinguishers (dry powder, dry chemical powder, wet chemical powder) Carbon dioxide (CO2) extinguisher Extinguishers containing halogen compounds Extinguishers containing foam
Automatic fire extinguisher system
The automatic fire extinguishing system does not require any human power and works completely intelligently. The sensors in this system immediately come into action if a fire is detected and automatically take the necessary measures to prevent a fire.
Automatic Water Fire Extinguisher System
Water is one of the main factors for extinguishing flames, and the basis of the Water Mist automatic fire extinguishing system is very small water droplets. This smart system is available in 3 categories:
High pressure system
Medium pressure system
Low pressure system
The very fine water droplets of this system first cool the environment. The water vapors formed at this stage drives away the oxygen in the environment and extinguishes the fire.
Vertex Automatic Fire Extinguisher
Vortex automatic fire extinguishing system consists of a combination of nitrogen gas and water fog. The way this system works is that the water particles are converted into very fine particles due to the pressure of nitrogen gas, and a combined content consisting of fine water particles and nitrogen gas suppresses the flames at the same time. In fact, water particles cool the fire, and at the same time, nitrogen gas reduces the amount of oxygen.
Halloon Gas Automatic Exercise System
This system consists of the combination of ethane (CH4) or methane (C2H6) hydrocarbon derivatives with halogen gases (elements of the seventh group of the periodic table), which are called halons. Halons are very destructive to the ozone layer and in recent years, their use has been banned due to the disadvantages they have for the environment.
Sprinkler Blue Automatic Automatic Exercise System
Sprinkler is an automatic fire extinguishing system that uses water to extinguish flames. This smart system is installed on the roof of the house or building and suppresses the fire by connecting to the water pipes and with the help of the water sprinklers it has.
This smart system is used in smart homes, hotels, parking lots, factories, large commercial complexes, warehouses and fuel storage tanks.
Automatic powder or aerosol fire extinguishing system
Aerosol system works on the basis of gaseous material and very fine solid particles, which are non-toxic.
Aerosol particles are made of potassium carbonate, which turns into a solid substance at room temperature due to an exothermic reaction; But until then, they remain in the gas state.
After the said process; These small solid particles are placed on the flames and extinguish the flames.
Foam
Foam is a stable material that consists of small bubbles filled with air. This material is combined with water in the fire extinguishing system and is placed on and on the surfaces that are on fire after exiting the fire system piping.
Due to its sticky structure, foam prevents any oxygen from entering the flames and prevents further fires.
Suitable places to install a fire extinguishing system
Do not place in open spaces that are in contact with sunlight or snow and rain.
To be installed near the entrances and exits of the building.
In a place where the possibility of physical injuries is less.
Place it in a place that is easy to access.
be installed in a place away from dangerous materials.
