Fire Suppression System
Fire Suppression System
Fire suppression systems are designed to control and extinguish fires in buildings. There are several types of fire suppression systems, each suited for different environments and fire risks.
Different types of Suppression Agents suppress fires by cooling, smothering, or interrupting the chemical reactions that sustain combustion such as foam, dry chemicals, and gases (e.g., CO₂, FM-200). The system consists of various components that work together to detect, control, and extinguish fires such as a control panel that Receives signals from detectors, activates alarms, and initiates suppression actions when a fire is detected, Detectors provide early warning of a fire, and activate the suppression system to control or extinguish the fire, Suppression Agents containers with valves provide the regulated flow of suppression agents in a pressurized form for rapid discharge into the protected area, Release Mechanisms Trigger the release of suppression agents when a fire is detected by heat-sensitive elements, fusible links, or manual pull stations and output alarm devices for prompt evacuation such as sounders and strobe lights.
