Study Notes
Fire Protection Systems for Flammable Liquids
- Internally installed fire protection systems in tanks containing flammable or combustible liquids typically use a foam-based system.
Foam Chambers and Frangible Seals
- Foam chambers are installed in large fuel storage tanks to prevent fire spread and provide a barrier between the fuel and air.
- Frangible seals in foam chambers burst under pressure, allowing foam to flow into the tank and suppress fires.
Foam-Discharge Outlets
- Some alcohol-type foams require a specific type of foam-discharge outlet.
Central Foam Distributing Systems
- Central foam distributing systems supply foam to multiple areas, providing a comprehensive fire protection system.
Semi-Fixed Systems
- Semi-fixed systems are used for areas where a fixed system is not feasible, providing a flexible fire protection solution.
Foam-Making Sprinklers and Deluge/Spray Nozzles
- Foam-making sprinklers and deluge or spray nozzles using AFFF foams replace traditional sprinkler systems, providing a more effective fire suppression method.
