Fire Protection Services By Yik Yu Hock 21 November 2013
Fire Protection Services • Fire Sprinkler System • Wet/Dry Riser, Hosereel and Hydrant Design • Automatic and Manual Fire Alarm System
Sprinkler Design • Occupancy classification, CP 52 • Light Hazard Occupancy • Ordinary Hazard Occupancy • High Hazard Occupancy • Types of System • Wet pipe conventional, pre-action, dry pipe, deluge. Differences? • In rack sprinklers • ESFR (Early Suppression and Fast Response) • Water monitor / cannon
ESFR Sprinkler • Warehouse • No need for in rack sprinklers • Caution in use • Not suitable for all types of storage (FM / NFPA)
Sprinkler Design • Sprinkler installation CV coverage • Sprinkler coverage • Sprinkler piping • Pipe schedule for OH, LH • Full hydraulic for HH
FS drain test line for FS drain FS FS drain FM P PS vortex inhibitor Typical Sprinkler Schematic test line PRV BI to pipe if highest sprinkler<60m high>60m to tank from PUB main 150 (min) to drain to drain 2 main pumps & 1 jockey pump
Staged Zones • Bottom up / Top Down • Combination of top & bottom feed • Central feed – up & down • Word of Caution!! • 10 bars max • Full size tank • Combined Sprinkler / Wet Riser. Consult QP early.
Sprinkler Tank • Tank = Refer Table 16 for OH. • For HH full hydraulic cal, flow base on most favourable area x time of storage • Consider gravity tank for high rise, flow & pressure determined by hydraulic calculations • Water source – FSSD / PUB requirements
Sprinkler Pumps • Pumps – design point should fall within pump curve with additional margin • Pump motor – 20% more for non-overloading • Appropriate listing • Positive suction
Plant Room/Services Space Allocation • Sprinkler tank • Low level • Less RL 125.000 (water inlet) • Reinforced Concrete, save space • U/g not preferred, hard to detect leak, got to use vert. turbine pumps • Overflow pipe preferably terminate to external drain than within room sump. • Sprinkler pump room • Next to tank, same level or lower than tank • Flooding risk
Plant Room/Services Space Allocation • Control valve (Clause 9.1.2) • Adjacent or near 1st sty FCC or fire fighting lobby • Or in protected area accessible from common area • Pre-consult FSSD • Breeching Inlet (Clause 5.4.3) • Near to control valve, must be at ground level, within 18m from fire engine access way, need to earth (architect to indicate).
Sprinkler Exemption • Room exempted from sprinkler protection • Protected Staircase (require only cut-off sprinkler) • LV switchroom, HV switchroom, transformer room(oil type), electric lift motor room, elect room, emergency lighting battery room, MDF room, PABX room • Provided the above are fire compartmented • Refer to Fire Code table 6.4A & CP52 Clause 4.2.5. • Not required above indoor swimming pool • Coldroom < 30m2, no flammable storage
Note on Special Room / Protection • Computer room, may consider, pre-action system or gas suppression • Fuel storage – foam system • Lift pit & shaft, escalator pit, services shaft, Generator room
Concealed Sprinkler Required? • Needed when ceiling depth more than 400mm • 800mm for office only, ceiling contain no combustible material, services not combustible • Raised floor.
more than 500mm, ignore partition eg. toilet cubicle, office low partition Partition Consideration • Pg. 49, clause 6.4.8
Perforated Ceiling Clause 6.7.3 c) • Opening area (incl. services such as light fixture) >60%, ignore ceiling but provide sprinkler buffer plate sprinkler buffer baffle buffer
0 adj. sprinkler >600mm within 2m 0 sprinkler Sprinkler Layout • Area coverage per sprinkler = 12 m2 • Max. dist apart = 4.2 m • Min. dist apart = 2.1 m(prevent wetting adj. unactivated sprinkler) • Max. dist from wall/partition = 2.1 mMin. dist from wall/partition = 100mm (NFPA 13) • Sprinkler closer than 600mm to column, place another sprinkler on the app. side within 2.1m from column • Sprinkler under duct • For circular duct more than 1000mm • For rectangular duct more than 800mm
Sprinkler Layout • Cut off sprinkler • In Staircase • Locate just above door • Don’t block • Dist. from beampg. 69, table 8pg. 149 & 150, fig. 16 (a),(b) & (c) EXIT
Sprinkler Layout • Pipe routing neat, free space for other services, more bends pendent “candle” type, untidy, occupy ceiling space, relatively easier to design
distribution >300mm range 2 end side 3 end side Pipe Sizing • Defintion • Range pipe definition, pg. 14 clause 2.3 • Distribution pipe definition, pg. 12 clause 2.11 • Range pipe sizing, pg. 109, table 18a • Distribution pipe sizing, pg. 109, table 18b If dropper longer than 300mm, size all pipe as distribution pipe Usage of flexible pipe
Pipe Sizing • Pipe size betw design point to cv • <150kpa pressure loss • Each turn equivalent to 3m of straight pipe • Design point 18/16 point awayeg. Pg. 138, Figure 3 • Static height adv. refer to pg. 111 clause 11.4.2.3
height adv. (x) Pipe Sizing CV
Other Pipes Size Pump Suction Pipe • Pump suction pipe = 150 - OH GP 1 & 2 = 200 - OH GP 3 CV Drain Pipe • Min. 50mm (clause 11.5), calculate size based on testing flowrate (OH 3 = 1350 L/Min) and available pump head.
Automatic Fire Alarm System • Conventional vs Addressable Fire Alarm System • Manual & Automatic Fire Alarm System • Ref. Fire Code: Table 6.3A for provision of fire alarms to building
Automatic Fire Alarm- Typical Schematic of an Addressable System
Rising Mains and Hosereel System • Statutory requirements • Max flowrate for Non-residential bldg is 190l/s and 130l/s for residential bldg. 45 mins storage. • Max zone height 120m. Landing valve outlet max 8 bar. • The landing valve & hosereel positioning is by Architect. • Multi-outlet pumps – Consult QP early
Fire Hydrant • Direct supply – RL 125m and below • Min 150mm dia and must meet pressure and flow requirements • Pump / tank system – comply to SS 575 (CP 29) wet rising mains requirement and Fire Code Table 4.4.2 • Running pressure > = 0.9 x running pressure of nearest hydrant – pressure drop across the bulk water meter
Fire Hydrant • Flow Rate > = 0.9 x water flow of the nearest public hydrant or > = total flow demand shown in Table 4.4.2 • Hydrant mains running in building – fire rated.
