Unit IV
SAFETY AND FIRE PROTECTION ORGANIZATION 9
House-keeping and management; Plant fire brigade and fire fitting facilities, petrol, systems.
Detailed analysis of fire case studies: especially those fires were large number of people have been involved. Interaction and relative value of the components of escape route design, especially smoke movement and control.
Unit V
INDUSTRIAL FIRE PROTECTION SYSTEMS 9
Sprinkler-hydrants-stand pipes – special fire suppression systems like deluge and emulsifier, selectioncriteria of the above installations, reliability, maintenance, evaluation and standards – alarm anddetection systems. Other suppression systems – CO2 system, foam system, dry chemical powder(DCP) system, halon system – need for halon replacement – smoke venting. Portable extinguishers -flammable liquids – tank farms – indices of inflammability-fire fighting systems.
Course Outcomes:
