 NFPA 10 | TYPES OF FIRE

• Not all fires are

the same.

• Fires are
classified into
different Class

• Right fire
extinguishing
system to be
selected for the
hazard.

 FIRE TRIANGLE | HEAT ABSORPTION

Ideal Applications

 Removal of Fuel is not possible – Cables

 Removal of Oxygen is dangerous - Manned application

 Water / Powder based systems like

 Sprinklers
 Deluge Systems
 ABC Powders may damage critical assets like
Servers

 Application cannot afford downtime

 Valuable assets

Remove any one element and Fire is

STRUCTURE| DESIGN CONCEPTS

• Total Flooding Fire Protection System

• Must have an enclosure
• Agent mixes with atmosphere to protect entire
volume
• Agent mixing performed by nozzles
• No Local application
• Discharge Time
• Must be 10 seconds or less
• Software will issue a warning

 STRUCTURE| Calculate Volume
• Dimensions taken during analysis
• OK to subtract permanent volume
reductions
• RCC Columns
• RCC Beam
• Platforms

• Do NOT subtract for equipment

and moveable objects

Calculate Volume
STRUCTURE| MDQ calculation Example

• Enclosure is 5m (W) x 5m (L) x 4m (H)

• Min Ambient Temperature = 21 °C

• Class C Hazard (Fire that involve energized

electrical equipment)
STRUCTURE| MDQ calculation Answer

• Enclosure is 5m (W) x 5m (L) x 4m (H)

• Min Ambient Temperature = 21°C
• Class C Hazard (Fire that involve energized electrical equipment)

• HFC-227ea :- • FK 1230® :-
Volume (V) : 5 x 5 x 4 = 100 Cu.M. Volume (V) : 5 x 5 x 4 = 100 Cu.M.
s : 0.1269 + (0.0005x21) = 0.1374 s : 0.0664 + (0.0002741x21) = 0.07215
W : (100/0.1374) x [7/(100-7)] = 54.78 Kg W : (100/0.0721) x [4.5/(100-4.5)] = 65.30 Kg

Flooding Factor Flooding Factor
(7.0 %, 21°C) = 0.5486 Kg/Cu.M (4.5 %, 21°C) = 0.6530 Kg/Cu.M
= 100 x 0.5486 = 100 x 0.6530

 SYSTEM PRESSURE | BENEFITS OF 42 BAR

BENEFITS OF 42 BAR OVER 25 BAR SYSTEM

 High Cylinder Agent Fill

High pressure Low pressure
 Less Cylinders or Smaller size Cylinders
42 bar / N2 25bar / N2
 Supports larger & complex pipe network
 Smaller Pipe Size
Filling ratio:  Dependency on cylinder location eliminated
HP – 0.6 to 0.9 kg per litre  Better evaporation – Faster extinguishing
LP – 0.4 t0 0.7 kg per litre  Lower System Cost
