Foam Fire Suppression System Design

Technical information and illustrations.

Foam fire suppression system design.

Chemguard foam systems can be designed and engineered for specific application requirements such as use in harsh environments. Storage tank protection with high flow monitors. The foam blanket efficiently transports small amounts of water to the fire encapsulating the flammable vapors and causing suppression and extinguishment. Converting existing water sprinklers to foam.

The foam adheres to the walls and ceilings to prevent the fire from spreading and shields the flammable liquid from any other heat sources. Foam systems work by blanketing the fire and cutting off all oxygen. Taking into consideration this minimum density the foam solution shall be designed to discharge for a period of 10 minutes over the entire system s area for deluge and spray foam water systems and over the design area design area is equal to 465 square meters in accordance with paragraph 7 3 7 1 of nfpa 16 for wet pipe dry pipe and. Majestic fire protection can give.

Medium and high expansion where the expansion ratios are greater from 20 to 1 up to 1 000 to 1 at these expansion ratios the bubble water content is low and the bubble is relatively light. We design and install foam systems for new facilities and repair and inspect them in existing buildings. Foam pump design information. We make sure the fire suppression systems are designed so that the foam chemical is delivered to the target area in a controlled manner.

Low expansion where the bubble expansion ratio is small less than 20 to 1 and the bubble contains a high water content. Fixed or semi fixed fire protection systems for storage tanks. Foam systems come in two types as follows.
