KNOWING FIRE EXTINGUISHING SYSTEMS AND ITS FUNCTIONS

 Fire suppression systems or fire suppression systems are usually provided in buildings as a prevention (prevention) of fires. This system consists of a sprinkler system, a hydrant system and a Fire Extinguisher (APAR)/Fire Extingusiher. In certain places a gas fire system is also used, but in general the system used consists of: a sprinkler system, hydrants and fire extinguishers.

Fire Extinguishing System

    There are 3 pumps used in the sprinkler and hydrant system, namely electric pump, diesel pump and jockey pump. The jockey pump functions to stabilize the pressure in the installation, and will automatically work if there is a pressure drop. And if a sprinkler head is broken or a hydrant is used, the electric pump will automatically work, and the jockey pump will automatically stop working. The electric pump (or electric pump) is the main pump that works when a sprinkler head or hydrant is used. While the diesel pump is a backup pump, if the electric pump fails to work for 10 seconds, this pump will automatically work.

1. Fire Fighting Sprinkler System

This system uses a pressurized sprinkler pipe installation and a sprinkler head as the main tool to extinguish fires.

There are 2 types of systems, namely:

a. Wet Riser System: All sprinkler pipe installations contain pressurized water with the water pressure being kept at a relatively constant pressure.

b. Dry riser system: All sprinkler pipe installations do not contain pressurized water, water supply equipment will drain water automatically if the fire alar installation orders it.

In general, high-rise buildings use a wet riser system, all sprinkler pipes are filled with pressurized water, with water pressure always being kept at a relatively constant pressure.

If the pressure in the pump decreases, the jockey pump will automatically work to stabilize the water pressure in the pipe. If the pressure continues to decrease or there is a broken glass bulb sprinkler head, the electric pump will work and the jockey pump will automatically stop. And if the electric pump fails to work after 10 seconds, the diesel backup pump will automatically work.

3. Fire Fighting Fire Extinguisher

A fire extinguisher or better known as APAR (Light Fire Extinguisher) is a fire extinguisher whose use is done manually and directly directed to the position where the fire is.

Fire extinguishers are usually placed in strategic places in accordance with the regulations of the Fire Department.

There are several types of Apar used, namely:

Apar Type A: Murtipupuse Dry Chemical Powder 3.5 Kg

Apar Type B: Co2 Gas 6.8 kg

Apar type C : Gas Co2 10 kg

Apar type D : Multipupuse Dry Chemical Powder 25 kg (equipped with Trolley)

4. Fire Fighting Gas System

Gas fire systems are usually used for certain rooms, such as: generator room, panel room and electronic room (central computer room: hub and server room, IT, communication and others).

 The system used is usually a centralized gas fire system, where gas cylinders (foam, halon, FM 100, Co2 and others), are placed centrally and their distribution into the room is passed through a motorized valve / actuator, piping installation and nozzle.
