The plant supervising devices

The designing of the stationary extinguishing plant depends on the built in mechanical components which enable the good performance of the plant at all times and which will signal the errors in the system. The built in components for protection and supervision are: the preparation group (pressure regulator) for the spraying gas, the closing valves, the safety valves, manometers and pressure switches. The pressure switches supervise the pressure of the spraying gas in the pressure container with the extinguishing liquid BONPET and the pressure of the compressed air which serves to open the automatic ball valve. Should a lower working pressure than the one originally set in be detected, a signal will be sent to the control centre which will then require the inspection of the plant.

The automatic ball valves are equipped with an additional tank with compressed air which enables repeated opening of valves to let the liq-uid into the extinguishing zone even if the compressed air may tempo-rarily not be available.

BONPET FIRE EXTINGUISHING AMPOULEFIXED BONPET FIRE SAFETY SYTEMS

Designing of a stationary extinguishing plant

Based on the inspection of the building and of the drawings of the rooms with technological equipment the designs shall be elaborated with taking into account the valid rules regulating the field of active fire protection.The determining of the number of fire extinguishing zones which in turn depends on the lay-out of plant and equipment or material in the rooms shall constitute the basis for elaboration of the designs. Based on the thus defined zones the necessary quantity of BONPET liquid shall be stipulated.The largest quantity stipulated per each container determines the size of the pressure container.

Operating of the stationary fire extinguishing plant

The main criteria for choosing the stationary extinguishing plant opera-tion mode is the simplicity and a non demanding mode of operating and maintenance. The extinguishing liquid BONPET is placed in a pressure container. The operation pressure is maintained by means of reduction valves on the nitrogen cylinder. In the zones defined for extinguishingthere are automatic and manual fire signalling devices which are super-vised by the fire fighting control centre. The fire extinguishing liquid flow into the pipeline is suppressed with automated ball valves which are opened by a signal from the fire fighting control centre and thereby en-able the flow of liquid to the nozzles in the fire extinguishing zones.

DELOVANJE

We would like to introduce our automatic Bonpet extinguishing am-poule that, because of its method of operation, enables you to assure fire protection of potential fire sources even on locations that so far have not, due to economic reasons, had the possibility of having an ap-propriate and needed fire protection with the installation of large fixed fire safety systems.

The intended use of Bonpet ampoule:

Bonpet extinguishing ampoules are intended for the use of automatic extinguishing of initial fires in small enclosed areas where potential fire sources are normally present - usually such fire sources are electri-cal installationsincontinuousoperation.Constantpresenceofhumancontrol is not assured. They are required at all the areas where human access to the area is difficult and where opening would accelerate the progress of fire in the area.

Installation of the ampoule is recommended due to its following characteristics:• automatic operation, which means that extinguishing of all starting fires is effective and lives are protected (in houses, companies, nauti cal science etc.);• there are no false alarms, because the ampoule activates only with the rise of temperature;• the ampoule can also be used by throwing it directly into the centre of fire source; it is easy to use and human panic and confusion factors are therefore not present; it is installed close to the security guards, next to potentially dangerous fire sources;

• it is the only fire extinguisher in the whole world that is not affected by any human or technological factor (it has an aesthetic look which reminds us of a lamp);• no additional damage is caused by the extinguishing, as the liquid that stays on the surface is simply wiped up;• it is environment friendly (safe for people and environment);• it has a long lifetime of 10 years;• no maintenance is needed (one should only keep an eye on the glass so it does not get damaged);• it is easy to assemble and, in case of removal to another premises, easy to dismantle as well.InSloveniatheampoulehasbeentestedattheSlovenianNationalBuild-ingandCivilEngineering Institute inLjubljana(P653/99-530-2:extin-guishing of kitchen fire, P 651/99-530-1: extinguishing of flammable liquids).OnthebasisofTechnicalAgreement(URSZRGS01020100),issuedbytheSloveneMinistryofDefencein2001,ProtectionandRescuegovern-ment, conformity declaration accompanies these ampoules.

Dimensions, Weight, Colours

Each ampoule contains 600 millimetres of liquid extinguishing product in a closed glass ampoule.Dimensions:300mmx90mmx60mmWeight: 1030 g

Colours: there are eight different colour versions of the ampoule (asdemonstrated), but when ordering large quantities of the product, other colour versions are possible as well.

Additional alternatives:• an additional switch, used for informing the fire station in case of acti vation of extinguishing, can be added to the ampoule,• Bonpet ampoule can be protected with a protective net which prevents damage to the glass,• a shoulder bag used by the security guard if he needs to carry the ampoule with him when going on long rounds.

Criteria for installation of Bonpet fire extinguishing ampoule:

A class fire: 8m3 of volume or 4m2 surface of the closed areaB class fire: 44x44 cm of flammable liquid burning area

The ampoule is stuck into a pylon that is previously screwed on above the area of a potential fire source, on the wall and ceiling, a computer cabinet, electro cabinet with the main safety fuses, as well as compensative cabi-nets. This way of placing the ampoule enables the liquid in the ampoule to reach the activation temperature as quickly as possible.

Professional advice:

Our professionals who have been learning about ampoules through car-rying out different tests of extinguishing fires of different materials are always at hand to advise you when deciding on the location of installing Bonpet fire extinguishing ampoules and, if requested, carry out train-ing. They can also provide you with a professional installation of the am-poules.

Considerable damages in textile and paper industry caused by fires forced the man even at the beginning of the industrial age to search for a way of protecting the property against fire. In 1874 already this search led to the invention of an extinguishing plant consisting of pipelines with spraying nozzles which turned out to be the first automatic sprinkler using water as extinguishing substance. The system has basically re-mained the same until today. Only the extinguishing substances have been changed in order to improve the efficiency of extinguishing and thereby reducing the damages which may occur in such fires.

Stationary low pressure fire extinguisher

Our basic purpose is to protect the property by a stationary fire extin-guisherespeciallyinlargeopenareasthreatenedbyfires.Itisparticu-larly suited to extinguish fires of class A (solid substances) and class B (inflammable liquids). This appliance uses the extinguishing liquid BON-PET which is classified among special extinguishing substances. The stationary extinguisher is classified among drenching systems though it does not actually operate as drenching system (system of immersing orflooding).Duetotheextraordinarycapabilitiesofextinguishingfiresthere is a surprisingly small quantity of liquid BONPET in the pressure container. The appliance is classified among the low pressure systems operating at the pressure of up to 5 bar.

Advantages of the fire extinguishing plant with a special extinguishing substance Bonpet:

• Efficient putting out of fires with comparatively small quantity of BONPET liquid • The BONPET liquid dinsintegrates biologically; there is no pollution caused by fire extinguishing. •Theplantisacceptableintermsofpricelevels(Materialrequireslow 7,5 bar test pressures)• The fire extinguishing is carried out without sealing of the rooms (as opposedtotheextinguishingwithCO2)• The beginning of the extinguishing process is not subject to prior evacuation of staff• The surfaces get covered with a protective film preventing re-ignition.• Technically not demanding and cost effective maintenance• Efficiency proved also by test extinguishing of fires in varnishing chambers, fires on inflammable liquids, on transformers• The extinguishing liquid BONPET is not hazardous to human health or
