Importance of fire protection

Technological developments & establishment of sophisticated industries Have increased hazards of fire & explosion. Destruction of property, personal injury due to fire is a major concern.It is therefore necessary For proper identification of these hazards & quick protection of such Incidents when they occur. The risks & losses arising out of such accident cant be fully covered by insurance & therefore it is necessary to take all possible steps to reduce The extent of hazards & to minimize losses.An automatic fire protection system must be provided for total safety.
7/6/2011 KBL 4

Following purposes are served by using proper fire fighting systems. Safety of human life. Safety of buildings,plant,equipment,replacement of which is not costly But time consuming also. Insurance companies allow substantial rebate on insurance premium For installing fire fighting equipment's approved by TAC( Tariff Advisory committee) / NAPF 20 system approval is made compulsory by TAC.

FIRE :
There are so many reasons of fire Careless match Short circuit Chemical explosion the fire can destroy property, profits and some times people too. All that remains is debris

Fire insurance helps to get back some of the money invested. But insurance cannot bring back every thing like
loss of stock loss of production facilities delay while new machinery arrives loss of customers loss of immediate profits while business is being built

Fire insurance cant put out a fire, so that the only alternative would be to play safe and in the event of accidental fire and be prepared to stop fire within shortest possible time, before it can further damage.

Fire Hazards

Normally fire hazards are classified in following major categories 1. Light Hazard Occupancies for e.g Cinema theaters, hotels, hospitals, offices and schools. 2. Ordinary Hazards Occupancies for e.g. Cigarette factories, Cotton mills and bakeries. 3. High Hazards A&C Alcohol distilleries, match factories, oil mills, storage yards for grass and bagasse. 4. High Hazards B Explosive factories, petrochemical plants, petroleum refineries etc. are covered.

III FIRE PROTECTION METHODS & SYSTEMS

fire hazards can occur and increase only if following conditions are available Fuel availability Excessive Heat/ Temperature Oxygen content This is know as a fire triangle. To control & extinguish fire one or more of above to be controlled. To cut out fuel To reduce heat To cut off oxygen All fire protection systems work on one or combinations of above principles. Hydrant systems Sprinkler system Gas based protection systems Dry chemical powder protection systems and foam systems.
7/6/2011 KBL 9

Out of the above systems sprinkler and Hydrant systems are water based and are discussed below. Typical Fire water systems are as follows. 1. Main fire water pump with motor 2. Main fire water pump with engine 3. Jockey pump with motor 4. Piping, Hydrant valves hoses and other accessories.

I. Sprinkler system:
This is water based system operated automatically through pressure sensing devices or through specially designed deluge valve. The water delivered is spread on desired object to extinguish fire. The temperature rise during fire activates sprinkle head which in turn sprays water in the fire area

7/6/2011

KBL

11

II . Hydrant system:
This is also water based system and can be operated either manually or automatically. In this system pressurized water can be used for extinguishing the fire. The operation of the system is governed by a pressure-switch mounted on hydrant line near the pump discharge. The delivery line is connected to a network of pipe lines and system is pressurized.

7/6/2011

KBL

12

In case of fire, when a hydrant valve is opened, a pressure drop is created in the system giving signal to control panel and thereby starting motor or diesel driven fire water pump. This pump can be stopped manually.

Specific Requirements for Pumps and Prime Movers TAC/NFPA 20

1. P MPS (MAIN FW) More reliable/Energy savings/Efficiency becomes secondary in consideration. Pump should start immediately. Pump should develop desired head with desired capacity immediately. The pump should be kept in primed condition. The pump should have flat characteristic curve.

7/6/2011

KBL

17

FW pump should develop 150% discharge and total head developed shall be at least 65% of the rated head. The MOC of impeller, casing ring, shaft sleeve, stuffing box, bush should be made in non-corrosive material preferable of bronze or brass. Pump coupling shall be directly coupled. Belts driven pumps are not acceptable. Shut off head shall not exceed 120% of rated head in case of horizontal pumps & 140% of rated head in case of vertical pumps. For pumps with negative suction, a foot valve with suitable priming arrangement is provided. TAC has approved our vertical turbine pumps, centrifugal pumps and end suction pumps with motor/engine.
7/6/2011 KBL 18

The most interesting point about fire fighting pumps is that its not supposed to use at all most of the times. Hence careful consideration is to be given to avoid corrosion of pump components and sticking of rotor unit to the stationary components in idle condition.

7/6/2011

KBL

19

Jockey pump:

To compensate water leakage in fire fighting loop a small jockey of adequate capacity is used. Its main function is to maintain pressure in the system and hence no special requirements are specified in TAC manual.

7/6/2011

Under volt release and no volt collect of the circuit breaker shall be removed so as to permit the motor to work under any condition. The motor shall be continuos rating type and shall have power rating equal to HP required to drive the pump at 150% of its rated discharge. Motor shall be totally enclosed type or drip proof type with class B insulation.

7/6/2011

KBL

28

Theory of operation:

Under normal conditions the entire system is under pressure. Under pressure there shall be always leakage. Due to this pressure will keep falling. This loss of water is compensated by jockey pump. The pressure switch for jockey pump is adjusted slightly below the system pressure so that pump starts when limit is reached and stops when system regains its desired pressure.

7/6/2011

KBL

29

During fires sprinkler/hydrant evacuated automatically and gets opened and starts spray the water. Due to this system pressure drop very fast. But since water demand is very high, at lower pressure motor operated fire pump will start. If it also fails to compensate and stand by diesel engine will start working. KBL can supply wide range of fire fighting sets. KBL pumps and accessories satisfies the requirements of TAC/ NFPA 20. Most of our models are approved by TAC/UL.
