FIRE CONTROL F1
Our Software 3D Fire Control F1, developed by our team of engineers and programmers is a modern and effective tool for fire protection analysis in industrial facilities. The software generates 3D models of vertical and horizontal tanks, spherical tanks, structures, valves, piping, fire hydrants, monitors, pumps, floating roofs, roads, buildings, structural beams, chimneys, and any customizable equipment and structure required by our clients. After modelling the plant in 3D, our fire engineer prepares a list of fire scenarios which is loaded into the software database. We include tank fires, pool fires and jet fires. The system simulates the flame, including its shape, tilt angle due to wind, height and emmisive power. The software can simulate one or more fires burning simultaneously. The Fire Spread Analysis tool of the software estimates the propagation of the fire to other tanks. The software calculates shadows and thermal radiation affecting different parts of each equipment, tank, building or structure. It calculates the total heat received by each equipment (kW) and thermal relief requirements for piping and emergency vent requirements for tanks. The 3D drawings show the name, maximum radiant heat and total heat received by each tank, structure and equipment in the plant. The drawings include local indications of radiant heat for each part of the equipment, structure, tank and building. The software is able to predict thermal expansion of piping exposed to heat and flange failure due to excessive stress and pipe support collapse. The system includes the analysis of thermal deformation of structural components such as beams and supports. It generates MS Word reports including all the relevant data from each fire scenario, for each equipment, tank, structure, valve and component. Heat contours drawings are automatically prepared by the software, at ground level and at any desired level. Individual drawings are prepared for each tank, equipment or structure with incident radiation heat readings and cooling water requirements. Surfaces protected by hydrants and monitors are shown in a 3D CAD drawing, assisting in the location and selection of cooling equipment. And many more features which make 3D Fire Control F1 the best tool for fire analysis in the market.
