Köpüklü Söndürme Sistemi
Foam fire extinguishing systems are generally used to extinguish flammable and liquid chemicals or fuels. Protein-based, synthetic-based, alcohol-resistant and film-forming foam types may vary according to chemical properties.
Foam fire extinguishing systems, which can be designed automatically or manually, prevent the fire from spreading by intervening immediately in the flammable area. Areas where foam is widely used are;
– Foam sprinkler system, Foam fire cabinets, Tank extinguishing system, Foam monitor system, Foam generator etc.
The main features of Foam fire extinguishing systems, which have an effective extinguishing effect, are as follows:
– Prevents contact between oxygen and fuel vapor.
– Prevents evaporation from the fuel surface.
– Separates the flame from the fuel surface.
– Helps to cool the metal surfaces on or around the fuel surface.
The types of fires in which foam is effective are as follows:
– Crude oil fires,
– Gasoline fires,
– Jet fuel fires,
– Gasoline fires,
– Fuel oil fires,
– Naphtha fires,
– Fires occurring in alcohol,
– Fires occurring in ketones,
– Fires occurring in the ethers,
– Fires occurring in esters.
Foam fire extinguishing is highly effective on the above fire types called hydrocarbon fires and Polar Solvents.
Foam extinguishing systems, which have a very wide area of use, are generally preferred in aircraft and helicopter hangars, warehouses, stations where fuels are loaded or unloaded, paint factories, facilities where chemicals are produced or stored, areas where flammable and combustible liquids are stored, filling areas for flammable and combustible liquids, shipyards, piers, oil refineries, marinas and similar areas. Due to its instant intervention and rapid control feature; it affects the flammable surface in a short time and prevents possible large fires.
Foam extinguishing systems, which are widely used especially in oil refineries, aircraft and helicopter hangars, shipyards, piers, fuel filling and storage facilities; It is a system that allows the foam, which has a lower density and can adhere to both horizontal and vertical surfaces, to cover the flammable area by combining pressurized water with foam. It also prevents explosive gases from escaping.
