Study and design of a Sprinkler system in an industrial unit

Abstract

Our study aims to improve fire protection level in base HMN03 Company SPE. In order to achieve that, we need to implement Fire sprinkler systems. So, before we do the design of this network, we need to know the basics and its concepts. First, we did an introduction to fire safety to get a general idea about it. Then, we moved to the fire sprinkler systems components regarding National Fire Protection Association “NFPA” 13. After that, we approached the fire sprinkler systems from the hydraulic perspective to understand the problems posed. Next, we made a Fire Risk Assessment “FRA” to define the fire hazard level in the car park to estimate the pressure and flow rate needed to extinguish the fire. Finally, we use PIPENET software to design the appropriate fire sprinkler systems for this base, and also for the hydraulic calculations.
