Looking for an All-in-One Fire Protection System?
What Exactly Is a Fire Protection System?
If you live or work in an environment prone to fires, working with a good local fire protection system provider is the best you can do. Fire extinguishers are designed to combat 1 of the 3 key elements, which a fire requires to burn. These are heat, oxygen, and fuel. A fire extinguisher, sometimes referred to as an Ansul system, applies an agent which will either displace oxygen close by or cools down the burning fuel to extinguish fires immediately. Carbon dioxide is normally used as a smothering material.
The most crucial function of this type of system is saving lives and protecting property against fire and people from deaths caused by asphyxiation, all of which can happen when you have this type of system installed in your home or business. The system in its complete form should also include fire and heat detectors, in addition to an alarm system. Its main purpose is to tell people to exit the premises. It will also include a release system of certain chemicals, which will contain and stifle a fire before it can cause property damage.
This kind of a fire protection system can be used in the home also and in small businesses which do not have combustible materials inside. Companies that do have combustible materials can, instead, use a piped system which will dispense 3,000 lbs of dry chemical. This is recommended for tanker decks, flammable storage facilities, and paint booths.
The F class system is recommended for commercial kitchens as they will direct chemicals to stoves and frying baskets. Offices that have enclosed areas will need the clean agent kind, so there will be no chemical fumes left behind once the fire is put out. On a larger scale, however, ANSUL systems will be mounted on fire trucks, to be used in larger areas.
