Description

The Fire No More System is a conglomeration of technologies that will work hand-in-hand in order to address each other's weaknesses. Together, they will surely help leave you with a peace of mind that your little investment you spent for fire protection will really work given a certain set of criteria are met. This system, like its 4 main components, also has limitations and they are: - the infrastructure should be a single-detached unit. Meaning, it is not part of a larger establishment wherein a lot of other industries are also using the facility. Unless these other industries use this system as well, or offer their own effective fire prevention and protection measures, this is a requirement for this system to fully operate; -the facility does not operate with an open window where oxygen can enter and feed the flames. This system works best at closed environments that is properly ventilated or has its own airconditioning system; - all employees and employers are given the proper training when fire arises especially when they are in the establishment; - each and everyone of the employees and employers is properly oriented how to properly monitor and operate the systems functionalities given the need to control them manually; and - an effective fire detection system is in use by the company. If non has been used yet, I recommend, if duly funded and proven feasible, use Aadithya's idea which I highly see the potential of. Please see his idea through this url: https://allianzsmartfireprotection.hyvecrowd.com/contribution/show/2397 If in case the company is using the traditional fire detection, I highly recommend them to upgrade to this technology or any detection that would allow it to be monitored wirelessly and be able to send signals to this system's functionalities. Without further ado, here are the Fire No More System's 4-level protection system: Level 1: Fireproof what can be fireproofed with fire-retardants Right from the start, anything that is part of the infrastructure than can catch on fire must have some form of protection on itself. Parts like walls or partitions that are made out of combustible materials must be covered with some fire retardant paint. This must take place right from the start of the operation of the textile industry just before the company occupies the building. Level 2: Utilization of existing fire extinguishing patches like the K5 Safety Patch I know, this has been suggested by another contributor named Alex Perfiliev and you can actually see it here through this url: https://allianzsmartfireprotection.hyvecrowd.com/contribution/show/2404 I incorporated this one because, first of all, even though I have commented on his post something about its possible disadvantages, I am here to offer a solution to those weaknesses with the succeeding levels. It is the utmost effective fire prevention tool out in the market. It is simple and easy to use and install. Just stick it to where you suspect a fire might occur and just leave it there for years. That simple. This alone can stop the fire before it escapes out of what encloses it like a circuit box or a panel board. It is definitely a necessity. Otherwise, if the flame gets out of the enclosure, the fire retardant coatings will help the establishment resist burning for a while while level 3 starts to take action. Level 3: Carbon Dioxide Flood Oxygen is the main gas that feed flames and keep it growing. Take oxygen away and you also take away fire. However, since gases in nature are not that easy to contain, better yet: control, the easiest ways to "take away" oxygen is by displacing it. Alright, I know, somebody might just burst out of their bubble and exclaim that this is similar to his idea, but if you guys only knew me, I have been working on contained carbon dioxide gases just to extinguish fire. It's just a matter of exposing this contest that I have to share my deeper insights regarding this field. Carbon dioxide is readily available in the environment and it is also easily accessible. We can create it easily as a by-product of some certain chemical reactions making it a cheap alternative to other *clears throat* inert gases. We can have it compressed in tanks that we can place right next to an infrastructures' columns or walls. When the installed fire detector initially sensed even the slightest hint of fire or unnatural extreme heat, it sends out signals wirelessly to the motorized control that opens up the CO2 tanks's valves. These tanks, which have tubing setups so that the CO2 will be directed to the floor, will then to start spreading CO2 all across the room, making a flood of CO2 that should extinguish the fire, given that the fire is, well, at the lower levels of the establishment. A small room could use just one tank but a larger one might need to prepare another one on the other side of the room. Purchase for this level would only require the accompanying tank handle attachment, that is motorized and functions via signals from the fire detector but can also be controlled with an integrated app or simply via a bluetooth connectivity. This will only be needing some batteries to operate. Together with the attachment is a set of tubing that when installed will run from the tank's nozzle down to the base of the tank. Together with this Carbon Dioxide Flood kit should come a small compressed gas can that contains CO2. This will work as an alternative fire extinguisher for certain scenarios. Level 4: Misting Finally, if the Carbon Dioxide Flood didn't cover the fire, chances are, the flame started waist-level or too high for the flood to reach. This goes without saying that the Carbon Dioxide Flood is only good for low-level fires. But sometimes, fire can initiate on points far high from the ground and we can't afford to lose time. This is where the misting comes into play. Misting doesn't entire wet the area, it only lowers down the environment's temperature and moistens the air. It has a variety of level depending on how high the temperature of the room gets. The misting mechanism comes with a tube line attached to a compressor that gets water directly from the establishment's water supply. It could be from the least used faucet or from a spare water tap-out. The compressor/pump is wirelessly connected to the used wireless smoke and fire detector if it still sends out signal after the Carbon Dioxide Flooding. The compressor could be as small as a big lunch box powered by a rechargeable battery much like how emergency lights are charged. When triggered, the compressor then delivers water to the hose with nozzles across its length. This hose needs to be installed almost where the wall meets the ceiling all around the room. This should work like a sprinkler, but with finer water droplets to cloud the area. Note: All fire mentioned in the above description mostly come electrical fire sources and can be suppressed by the Fire No More System. These scenarios could happen in both the presence and absence of the people and the system will work perfectly fine in both instances. However, other fire sources like fuel fed fire, in most probable situations, must involve presence of a person or group of people to occur (as human error might be). Having said that, these kinds of fire that might be stronger than the previous (because of the involved fuel) might require firefighting to be delivered by the human present. *All illustrations to follow.
