Deluge systems

Product catalog summary
Introduction
Deluge systems are critical in preventing fire hazards in industrial settings, particularly where high-calorific substances like plastics and rubber are present. These systems combine fire alarms with water extinguishing mechanisms to mitigate fire risks effectively.

Applications
Deluge systems are suitable for various high-risk areas, including waste bunkers, recycling plants, conveyor systems, silos, filters, and machinery. They are designed to quickly detect and extinguish fires, preventing them from spreading.

Fire Detection
Fire detection in deluge systems can be achieved using flame, smoke, or heat detectors, with both electric and pneumatic options available. The trigger temperature is set approximately 30°C above the maximum ambient temperature to avoid false alarms. The detection area per detector is determined by VdS guideline 2095.

System Operation
Deluge systems can be electrically actuated to stop water flow post-extinguishing. The water rate is adjusted according to VdS guideline 2109, and various nozzles are available for different applications. Systems can be used for both object and room protection, with nozzles directed at specific objects or distributed throughout a room.

Manual and Automatic Actuation
Deluge systems can be manually actuated if necessary. They feature open and closed nozzles with different spray patterns to suit various applications.

Installation and Benefits
Deluge systems are installed with a pipeline network and open extinguishing valves, divided into several areas. They are ready for immediate reuse after fire-fighting, minimizing business interruptions and potential existential threats from fires. Additional systems like spark and gas extinguishing systems can be integrated for enhanced protection.

Conclusion
Implementing a deluge system demonstrates a commitment to safety and reliability in production processes, reassuring customers of the company's dedication to maintaining secure operations.

Fotolia © RicoPatuca Images Deluge systems Fires cause billions of euros of damage in Germany every year. Production and storage areas where high-calorific substances are handled (e.g. plastics, rubber etc.) are particularly at risk. Where these products are involved, fires will spread quickly. The speed at which the fire spreads is accelerated significantly by the carrying over of fires and hot spots to other production areas via conveyor belts. In such high-risk areas, T&B deluge systems are used: a combination of fire alarm and water extinguishing system. Fotolia © Andrei Merkulov „The fact...

Fire detection Depending on the local circumstances and the existing fire load, fire detection is usually by means of flame, smoke or heat detectors. Both electric and pneumatic heat detectors can be used. Flame detector for the detection of open flames. Smoke detector for the detection of smouldering fires. The trigger temperature should be approximately 30 °C above the maximum ambient temperature in order to avoid false alarms. The maximum area monitored per detector is always determined in accordance with VdS guideline 2095.

Fire detection Pneumatic triggering elements for triggering following sharp increase in temperature. Fire prevention to protect machines, halls or open spaces. Our early fire detection system based on an infrared camera detects fires as they are developing. For reliable fire prevention, we combine the infrared detection with our VdS-certified extinguishing system. Choose the infrared camera in the version that suits your plant: Either certified according the VdS or the EN 54-10: depending on the processes and insurance requirements.

Deluge systems Deluge systems in combination with the described detection systems detect fires particularly quickly and distribute the water evenly to all the nozzles within an extinguishing area. This quickly cools the burning material and draws the heat from the ambient air. Thus fires can be fought quickly and safely even in critical areas, and the fire is prevented from spreading. In addition, a deluge system can always be actuated manually. Manual button for manual actuation of the deluge system. Open and closed nozzles with different sprinkling patterns for different applications. Deluge...
