Want To Easy Your Fire Protection System, Automatic Foam System Is The Answer

In this life, most people want to live in a secure condition. One of the dangers that people should protect themselves is fire. What is the best choice of a fire protection system? What system that can overcome fire quickly, but safe for the occupant? Could the automatic foam system be the answer? Let’s find out.

Fire Circle 

Fire happens when three components meet, those are heat, fuel, and oxygen. Fuel is not only the one that came from fossil but could be all materials that could burn. By European Standard, the fuel classified, that is:

  1. Class A (same name in the US and Australia) is for combustible materials, such as wood, paper, and fabric. This class could overcome the most suppression methods.
  2. Class B (same class in the US and Australia) is for flammable liquids, for example, liquid fossil fuels. This fire needs dry chemical or Halon gas to overcome it.
  3. Class C (US: class B, Australia: class C) is for flammable gases. This class also could overcome with dry chemical or Halon gas.
  4. Class D (the US and Australia use the same name) is for flammable metals. For example lithium, potassium, magnesium, titanium, and zirconium. All these flames could overcome with specialist suppression.
  5. The fire caused by electrical is not Classified in Europe, but in the US called class C and in Australia named class E. This fire could use the fire suppression agents, except water.
  6. Class F is for cooking oil and fats. In the US it named class K, while in Australia call class F. It could overcome by removing oxygen.

The automatic foam system could work for those classes, with a high range of coverage areas. It also works automatically, so that the occupant could focus on the survival effort.

How Does Automatic Foam System Work?

Since firstly announce in 1942, the foam has become the answer to many kinds of fire cause. It works by lowering the fire temperature so that it overcomes the heat. It also covered the fire and area around it, so that the oxygen couldn’t reach the fuel and separated from the heat. This activity will cut the fire circle and stop the fire immediately.

The automatic foam system is the arrangement of a fire detector, fire alarm, and fire extinguisher system that works without the human role. When a fire appears in a location, the detector will know it and make a signal to the alarm to give a sign. It also sends signals to the fire extinguisher system to flow the foam and separate it straight to the fire. The foam will coat the fire and stop it quickly. It also avoids the possibility of the fire appearance after foam coating.

The automatic foam system will work properly if it maintained regularly. The maintenance that could do by the expert, will make sure that foam supply is enough and all the system is ready for the unpredicted situation.
