Description
The automatic fire extinguishing system is a complete system, works fully automatically and is individually adapted to the needs of our customers.
An ideally matched pump station is essential for an optimally functioning extinguishing system. The pump station is not only the water supply but also the central component of every fire protection system. In the event of an emergency, it must be 100% reliable and operational. The system operates completely automatically and is fully adapted to the wishes and needs of the customer, their application as well as the local conditions.
The pump container can be combined with an fire extinguishing monitor, the FT10e fire-fighting turbine or spraying nozzles, depending on the application requirements.
Advantages of an automatic fire extinguishing system
- Complete solution – ready for operation.
- Completely customisable to suit each individual application.
- Best protection for critical areas (turbine, monitor and nozzles).
- Fully automatic / early detection (infrared) – operates in the absence of staff.
Configuration of an automatic extinguishing system:
The Pump Container accommodates:
- Extinguishing control center
- Line valves for various zones
- Visual alarm signals
- Booster pump/s (with diesel motor or electrical)
- Test line and the pump control
- Optional: foam mixer and collector tray and foam tank
The Pump Container can be configured with the following extinguishing devices:
- Water mist cannon
- Extinguishing monitor
- Robust misting nozzles
- Reliable detection technology
- Control and visualization technology
This is how an Automatic Extinguishing System works with Infrared Detection
Infrared systems permanently scan the area’s surface and registers the surface temperature. If a temperature increase is detected in one of the defined monitoring areas, the system triggers.
- The fire alarm goes to the extinguishing control panel, which starts an acoustic and visual alarm and sends it to the responsible fire alarm panel.
- At the same time, the early fire detection system starts an extinguishing cycle, with the extinguishing monitor or extinguishing turbine closest to the source of the fire. The extinguishing medium is directed precisely to the source of the fire.
- During the extinguishing cycle, the infrared system continues to scan the defined monitoring area and analyzes the panoramic thermal image again. If the criteria for the fire alarm are still given in the next monitoring cycle, the extinguishing cycle starts again. This continues until the hot spot has been successfully extinguished.
Depending on the distance of the fire source to the extinguishing monitor or extinguishing turbine, the type of spray and the swing range around the fire source are adjusted in order to achieve the best possible result.
If a hot spot is detected at another position in the monitoring area, the infrared system investigates which of the hot spots is the largest and most dangerous. This one will be targeted first.
