Foam Fire Suppression System Design

For detailed information see chemguard s design manual.

Foam fire suppression system design.

Fixed or semi fixed fire protection systems for storage tanks. Foam pump design information. The foam blanket efficiently transports small amounts of water to the fire encapsulating the flammable vapors and causing suppression and extinguishment. Low expansion where the bubble expansion ratio is small less than 20 to 1 and the bubble contains a high water content.

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. Storage tank protection with high flow monitors. Technical information and illustrations. Majestic fire protection can give.

Converting existing water sprinklers to foam. 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. Chemguard foam systems can be designed and engineered for specific application requirements such as use in harsh environments. The foam adheres to the walls and ceilings to prevent the fire from spreading and shields the flammable liquid from any other heat sources.

We design and install foam systems for new facilities and repair and inspect them in existing buildings. Dike and spill. Foam systems come in two types as follows.
