The fire suppression systems are automatic systems to control and extinguish fires without initial human intervention. We offer different fire suppression solution which are:
While sprinkler systems are the most prevalent type of fire suppression system, specific hazard fire suppression systems that do not use water are required in particular situations.
The fire triangle is made up of three elements: oxygen, heat, and fuel. You get a fire tetrahedron if you add the fourth element, the chemical reaction. To start a fire, these four elements must be present at the same time:
The fundamental thing to remember is that if you remove any of these four items, you will either not have a fire, or it will be extinguished. Extinguishers put out fires by removing one or more elements of the fire triangle/tetrahedron.
Fire extinguishers are designed to tackle specific types of fire. Extinguishers are labeled with pictorial symbols indicating their use against the specific type of fire. There are several different classes of fire depending on the type of material and fuel for combustion and several different types of fire extinguishers.
Class A (A for “Ash”)
- Ordinary Solid Combustibles such as Wood, Paper, Cloth, Rubber or Plastics
- Extinguishers: Water, Dry Powder, Wet Chemical or Foam
Class B (B for “Barrel”)
- Flammable Liquid such as Petrol, Diesel, Petroleum Grease, Tars, Oils, Oil-based Paints, Solvents and Alcohols.
- Extinguishers: CO2, Dry Powder or Foam.
Class B (US) / Class C (EU)
- Flammable Gases such as Propane, Butane or Methane.
- Extinguishers: Dry Powder Only
Class C (US) (C for “Current”)
- Energized Electrical Equipment such as computers, servers, motors, transformers and other appliances.
- Extinguishers: CO2 or Dry Powder
Class D (D for “Dynamite”)
- Combustible Metals such as Magnesium (Mg), Titanium (Ti), Zirconium (Zr), Sodium (Na), Lithium (Li) and Potassium (K).
- Extinguishers: L2 & M28 Powder Only
Class F (EU) / Class K (US) (K for “Kitchen”)
-
- Cooking Oils such as in deep-fat fryers, animal and vegetable fats.
- Extinguishers: Wet Chemicals Only
