Water Based System Fire Protection System

This document discusses various aspects of water-based active fire protection systems, including deluge systems, fire hydrants, foam systems, fire water pumps, and jockey pumps. It explains the objectives and basic design considerations for each component. For deluge systems, it provides a formula for calculating fire water demand. For foam systems, it discusses how to determine the application rate and duration. And for fire water pumps, it notes they should be sized to meet NFPA 20 standards for the single worst case fire scenario in any one zone. The document serves as a guide for designing different elements of water-based fire suppression systems.

HOW TO DESIGN ???

Water-Based Fire Fighting March 2013

DELUGE SYSTEM

Objective : Provide cooling system for equipment to prevent escalation Design Fire water demand from deluge system = equipment area X deluge rate X [ 1 + wastage factor] X [ 1 + hydraulic contingency] Total fire water demand from deluge system

Water-Based Fire Fighting March 2013

FIRE HYDRANT & FIRE MONITOR

Objective : to provide cooling for adjacent equipment Design : 1 monitor + 2 hydrant (active)

Water-Based Fire Fighting March 2013

FOAM SYSTEM

Objective : extinguish hydrocarbon liquid fire How to design fixed foam system? 1. Determine application rate 2. Determine foam application duration Type of Fixed Foam Protection :
1. Primary Protection Foam Chamber Foam Hose Line 2. Supplementary Protection For specified foam concentration

Output - Foam concentrate - Fire water required
