Fire Gas Detection Security

04/29/2010 3:23 AM

I have been assigned to do the Risk assessment on the Fire gas.

I wanted to know that is it important to have a security shutdown for the processing of the gas associated with the FGS detection, or is it not enough to use it as just an alarm for indication purposes.

Those having industrial exposure and experience, kindly suggest me the standards that should be followed.

thanks.

Typically;

Fire detection systems are used for alarming and for the initiation of extinguishing systems (deluge systems, inergen, FM 200 systems etc in control buildings and so on) and for the isolation of dampers in HVAC distribution ducts.

Gas detection systems are used for alarming, for the manipulation of HVAC systems i.e. switching from fresh air intake to recycle and for the start-up of emergency breathing air systems.

You should check the project specifications which will give the design intent and requirements of the systems which must be satisfied and list the applicable standards to be referenced. Also important would be any mandatory requirements from the AHJ in your area.
