Fire Suppression
Every fire suppression system functions with one main purpose and that is to prevent. Therefore, when it comes to acquiring these systems, quality and reliability are some of the things you should look into.
Whether you're installing, servicing, repairing or maintaining your fire suppression systems, it's important to touch important basic knowledge to help you determine if the one you have is definitely reliable.

Standard Fire Suppression
Every Fire Suppression System is made up of key components that make it work. These components are the following: fire suppression panels, audible alarms, smoke detection, and fire suppression cylinder and gas.
Fire Suppression Control PanelWith a system with two fire detection zones, the control panel monitors these zones. It serves as the main monitoring system for all detectors within their own zones. Suppression measures will activate if there's a "coincidence of activation" from two zones at a minimum. |
Smoke DetectionThese devices are the "triggers" that will expertly detect early stages of a fire for better prevention. Selecting the correct smoke detection technologies are crucial since it's important to avoid false detection and discharges of gas, water, or other fire suppression types. |
Warning AlarmsThese components are directly connected to the panels so that the alarms set off as accurately as possible. If the panel gets a smoke detection signal, it triggers the first stage alarm to set off. Further activation will set off the sounders. Fire suppression systems should have two effective and clear alarm types. |
Fire Suppression CylinderThese components house the agents that will suppress a developing fire. Keep in mind that these equipment are of quality and will create less hazard in storage. |
Types of Fire Suppression Agents
Fire suppression systems have their four mediums that businesses, structures, and facilities can use. Here are these types:
INERT GasInert Gas Fire suppression systems are those with agents that are reduced oxygen under 15%. It is reduced to these levels because it doesn't give the danger of combustion. This means it will be safe to use, enclose, and egress.
|
Synthetic FireSimilar to refrigerants, synthetic fire are low in concentration and designed to reduce heat effectively. This type of fire suppressant contains oxygen that is not significantly reduced therefore it is can be used in occupied spaces.
|
Water-basedSince water-based systems are not suitable for places with a lot of gadgets and appliances, offices with many computer rooms are not advised to get water-based systems. These systems are great for suppressing or extinguishing a fire in very high temperatures.
|
Foam-fireFoam-fire suppression systems contains agents that consist of water with an expansion foam solution like AFFF. This combination allows the foam to quickly fill an area with foam. These types are best for large and open spaces, especially where there is a spillage of different combustible liquids.
