High module efficiency is provided due to high-pressure firefighting powder jet supplying into the seat of fire. Module consists (see Figure 1) of frame 1, in which there is firefighting powder ISTO-1 2, low temperature gas generating device (cold gas source, CGS) 3 with electrical triggering element 4, and aerator 5 for powder fluidization there. In the lower part of the case there is a nozzle hole with a nozzle-spray

6 fitted in it for powder outflowing into the seats of fire.The module operation principle is following. After threshold value

exceeding of the controlling factor (or factors) in autonomous signaling-and triggering devices in the structure of standard fire-extinguishing sets control equipment or after manual launch an electrical signal of low power (not less than 0.12…0.15 mA) is supplied and CGS launching occurs.

Gas generated under thermal decomposition of the compound used in CGS flow into the case of the MPP (powder fire extinguishing module) through aerator, make fire-extinguishing powder loose and create an excess pressure in the case. After the working pressure reaching a membrane breaks and gas-and-powder jet is supplied to the seat of fire under high pressure through the nozzle-spray.

advantages:

Due to their high performance, easy-to-actuate from a low-power electric signal, high reliability, design features, low cost, aesthetic design the modules TUNGUS® are used widely, replace fire extinguishers and standard stationary systems of fire extinguishing.The causes of this are as follows:

- extinguish fires in the open air and in the premises without using piping elements,- provide any direction of supplying of fire extinguishing powder (there are no stagnant areas and at the same time high reliability of extinguishing);- high efficiency of extinguishing (the surface protected – up to 80m2, the volume protected – up to 250m3);- fast-action providing extinguishing fire sites at their early phase and preventing the fire from propagating throughout the object;- triggering into operation from a low-power electric signal (starting current 120…150mA and, as a result, simple design, high reliability, low cost accessible for mass usage;- long-term of shelf life (10 years) without any maintenance, high quality of manufacturing in accordance with the international requirements ISO 9001;- multiple usage (reloading at any service stations of fire-extinguisher recharging), guaranteed delivery of loading elements by the factory-manufacturer Istochnik Plus, closed joint stock company in any amounts for reloading;- safety (no pressure in modules during their storage and service);- there is no assembly work when using portable self-triggering modules. They can be mounted on the floor in buildings without fasteners.




Field of application and prospects of usage:

At present Istochnik Plus is serially producing a wide range of fire extinguishing modules:- small-size module Tungus-0.65 for fire-protecting electric control boards, cabinets, enclosures, switches,

boxes;- module Tungus-2 has been developed according to the recommendations of Mosenergoproekt for

protecting no-go cable channels and also garage boxes and small premises;- modules Tungus-4, Tungus-6I – for suppressing fire sites in buildings and open areas of different

purpose;- module Tungus-5 – for suppressing fire sites under false floor, behind hung ceiling, can be used as

operative relocating firefighting mean with manual launch;- module Tungus-9 – for suppressing fire sites at production facilities, warehouses, hangars with ceiling

height up to 13m;- module Tungus-10 – for suppressing fire sites in vertical cable channels and in premises with the

equipment of a complicated shape;- module Tungus-10st – is recommended for fire defense of objects in premises with dense equipment

packing (storehouses, workshops, parking bays, trade centers and complexes, objects of power industry) with ceiling height up to 16 m;

- module Tungus-24 for fire protecting of large-size objects, long cable channels with large crosssection; the cost of the module is three times as low as its analogues with the same features in fire extinguishing efficiency;

- explosion-proof modules with case volume of 0.65 to 24 liters for suppressing fire sites at fire- and explosion-hazard objects group I and II;

- thermal-resistant modules with case volumes of 0.65 to 24 liters – for suppressing fire sites at the ambient temperature of -60°C to +90°C;

- self-triggering portable fire-extinguishing module Tungus-10-S with the vertical fire-extinguishing powder supply.

RZD (Russian Railways), open joint stock company, has recommended the application of the MPP TUNGUS® for fire extinguishing in cable channels of electrical control cabins, high voltage chambers, diesel rooms, traction and transformer substations, storages of combustive-lubricating materials.

In the opinion of the chief specialists of Termnefteproekt (Krasnodar) and Vankurneft (Krasnoyarsk) there are good outlooks for using modules to protect oil-gas equipment in Siberia and in the Far North regions, where the use of water for extinguishing fires becomes complicated due to climatic conditions of the region.

Autonomous means of fire-extinguishing are of wide application for fire defense of separate fire sites (rooms), including garage boxes, technological objects of petroleum storage, oil-dispensing posts, and switchboards.

The statistics shows that nowadays about 70% of fires in Russia happen in residential areas. When fires occur, especially fatal consequences happen at the lower floors of block of flats and prevent people evacuation from the upper floors. Equipping premises with autonomous fire-extinguishing modules would make it possible to suppress fire sites efficiently at their initial sites in separate premises and, thus, prevent them from spreading to other premises or to the upper floors.

Certification:The whole range of fire-extinguishing modules TUNGUS® has been certified by FSU VNIIPO, Ministry

for Emergency Situations of Russia and RАО EES, has Authorization of Federal service for ecological, technological and nuclear inspection and FSUE All-Russian Railways Transport Research Institute for using at fire- and explosion-hazardous and railway objects.

Federal service for ecological, technological and nuclear inspection has recommended modules usage in mine workings which are non-dangerous in dust and gas.

Federal service for ecological, technological and nuclear inspection has also recommended modules TUNGUS® usage in mines and mine workings which are dangerous in dust and/or gas.

Federal service for ecological, technological and nuclear inspection has also recommended modules TUNGUS® usage in petrochemical, oil-refining and other fire- and explosion-hazardous objects.

The modules are certified in China.The modules are authorized for using in Kazakhstan.Production has been certified according to the requirements of International Quality System ISO9001-

2001.Istochnik Plus, closed joint stock company, has been accredited by Ministry of Emergency Situations as

an enterprise which puts into practice the following fields of activities: research and development works aim-ing to creation of program-technical automatize monitoring systems and systems of safety and life support management of infrastructure objects which are critically important for Russian national safety and Russian population as well as hazardous objects, buildings and constructions.

tunGus®-based fire extinguishing systems: The modules developed are a basic element for construction of automatic powder fire extinguishing systems. They can be actuated by the following devices of fire automatics:• Grand Magistr PU (Magistral, ltd.)• Start-8 (Argus-spektr, closed joint stock company)• PPKOP Piket-2 (PO Spetsavtomatika, closed joint stock company)• VERS PU (MPP VERS, ltd.)• S2000-АSPT (NVP BOLID)and other devices of fire automatics.As a complete set with signaling-and-starting devices such as USPAA-1, USP-101 and Pulsar, it is self-

triggering. Independent systems do not need an external power supply for triggering the module. In this case the source of a starting signal is a signaling-starting device. The signaling-and-starting devices USPAA type have a function of complicated automatic systems – first when achieving 60ºC the signal system informs about appearance of fire, and then at a higher temperature of 72ºC fire-extinguishing modules come into action.




Our enterprise in cooperation with KB PRIBOR, design department, has developed self-triggering ceiling-mounted and portable floor-mounted modules Tungus-6-S and Tungus-10-S, shown in Figure 5.

A detecting-and-starting device based on the fire-alarm box Pulsar has been chosen as a detecting device of the fire site.

This device provides signal sending for triggering the module from the moment of fire appearing for 19 seconds, i.e. fire extinguishing will be performed at the initial stage of fire occurrence.

The angle of view of a remote optical element is 120° (Figure 6), so when the fire extinguishing module is placed in the corner of the room, the direction of a remote optical element being to the center; it will control the whole space to be protected.

general view




Istochnik Plus, closed joint stock company, has designed and developed the serial production of wide range of self-triggering powder fire-extinguishing modules (MPP) TUNGUS equipped with a system of double-channel fire sites detecting for extinguishing fires class A, B, С and electrical equipment under tension without any restrictions of the value of firefighting powder discharge voltage.

Self-triggering modules consist of standard MPP TUNGUS and signal-and-triggering device USPAA-1 v4, which is mounted on a module frame or separately on ceiling, wall, or columns.

The distinctive feature is using in their construction the system of fire detecting based on two channels: thermal and optical, where optical channel is activated by thermal channel. The operational principle is founded on fully autonomous action, there’s no need human’s interference into the process of fire extinguishing.

Modules installation is rather simple and does not require any special skills. It allows using them not only for fire defense of different industries objects but also in objects of private ownership (living space, garages, bathhouses etc.).

Decision about the usage of definite model is made taking into account model individual techno-economic features. The module range developed makes it possible to choose a firefighting mean in accordance with special features of protected object and its structure.

By way of example the APFES MPP(N-S2)-6-I-GE-U2 on base of Tungus-6 module is shown in Figure 1. The design of autonomous sets on base of other powder fire-extinguishing modules of Tungus range of products is similar.




APFES designUSPAA-1 v4 (see item 3 in Figure 1) is mounted on bracket 1 of the module frame 2. The output ends

of electrical triggering unit 4 of the cold gas source (CGS) 5 and USPAA-1 v4 are connected with a help of cable 6. The connection is carried out with contact screw clamp 7. USPAA-1 v4 is performed on a frame of both ceiling-mounted (see Figure 1a) and wall-mounted (see Figure 1b) module.

The advantages of self-triggering modules equipped with device usPaa-1 v4:

1. In contrast to its analogs with one-channel fire detecting system, the device suggested has both optical and thermal channel of fire detecting, that provides high operation speed and reliability and excludes false triggering (due to optical interference: sun glints, electric-arc welding). The device controls the temperature and levels of spectral components of infrared light low-frequency oscillations and classifies a fire situation depending on its developmental stage.

2. USPAA-1 v4 provides group launching of TUNGUS modules. Two kinds of modes are realized in the device depending on group launching type:

- global group launching with simultaneous actuation of all modules;- local group launching with selective actuation of the modules, signal-and-triggering devices of which have detected the initial fire signs and being in Attention mode.

self-triggering module tunGus operation Principle

After detecting of temperature rising typical for fire origin in protected object USPAA-1 v4 device activates optical control channel, determines low-frequency spectral components of infrared light and compares the results obtained with patterns prestored a priori. Depending on correlation score APFES determines the level of fire hazard (Normal, Fire, and Launch). In situations of non-determining of fire hazard with a help of optical channel (for example in cases when optical channel cannot detect open fire because of large smoke content) and further temperature rising the fire hazard is under control of thermal channel. After fire detecting in protected object (in case if the temperature in the object has exceeded maximal normal level of 50°C and reached the level of 62°C or in case if the optical channel has registered the open seats of fire) APFES generates signal Fire (discrete light and sound signal) and with a time delay of 5 sec (or 30 sec with a minijumper of launching signal delay set) Launch signal is generated and electrical signal is supplied to output ends of electrical triggering unit of the CGS. After electrical impulse supplying the CGS generates a gas which fluffs the firefighting powder and creates pressure inside the module frame for membrane breaking in outlet hole and firefighting powder jet emission into burning area through the nozzle spray.

The observation angle of optical element of APFES optical channel is 120° that makes it possible to exercise supervision of fire hazard irrespective of type of module mounting: ceiling-mounting or wall-mounting.

USPAA-1 v4 key features:

- the time of launching is not more than 20sec.;- maximal observation angle is 120°;- the length of fire sites detecting is 6m;- USPAA-1 v4 is a device of multiple usage;- the device life time is not less than 10 years;- the temperature range of operation is from -40°C to +50°C;- the device is resistant to temperature influence from -50°C to +75°C.




Powder Fire-extinguishing module tungus-5

Firefighting is a complex technical task and its proper solving depends on the level of technical fire-extinguishing means development. Fire is most dangerous in situations when it appears in places difficult of access and when a lot of time is needed for such access. For example it is time for floor opening, false ceiling destroying, and high-rise building penetration.

For this purpose Istochnik Plus, closed corporation, has designed a multi-functional device for extinguishing of seats of fire – a module Tungus-5. This device can be used as stationary autonomous fire-extinguishing mean and as efficient facility with manual launch.

The devise designed is universal firefighting mean for extinguishing fires class A, B, C and electrical equipment under tension without taking into account the value of firefighting powder discharge voltage.

Module space position can be changed. It can be mounted on wall, ceiling, and floor.The module has high operational efficiency. It extinguishes seats of fire on square up to 78m2 and in

volume up to 100m3. Thermal-resistant modification is also available which makes it possible to use the module in temperature range from -60 to +90°C. Tungus-5 is activated with electric signal of low power; starting current is 0.12A. The module is the device of multiple usage.

Tungus-5 is the device of multiple usage, it has moderate size and mass. Its diameter is 276 mm, its height – 224 mm and its firefighting powder mass is 4.4 kilograms. The total weight of the module is 8.2 kilograms.

Tungus-5 consists of a frame with firefighting powder, cold-gas source and electrical-and-triggering device. Nozzle hole is blocked with membrane. A cover reflector on the side of nozzle is connected with module frame. By the use of special washers a gap is formed for powder emission. The module is supplied with a bracket for cellar, wall or floor mounting.

Tungus-5 is launched with the help of pulse current which can be generated with control fire alarm device, notching start button or electronic launching device, such as USPAA or USP-101.

After electrical pulsing to electrical-and-triggering device the cold-gas source generates a gas which fluffs




firefighting powder and creates pressure inside the module frame. After reaching the working pressure the membrane breaks and firefighting powder throws out into cavity between the frame and the cover reflector. Then the firefighting powder is throwed out through circular gap. Owing to this unusual method of powder emission, the module can operate in any direction: horizontal, vertical and sloping. The main feature of Tungus-5 is that it can be used for fire-extinguishing in places difficult of access with complex geometry.

There is a handle mounted on throwable variant of Tungus-5, with the help of which the module is thrown in area where inflammation took place. There is a slot for handle electrical triggering device on the cover reflector. The triggering device provides electric circuit integrity control by light indication and tone signal in the moment of its connection to the module. The device also provides electric launching signal admission by Start button and power source discharge control.

For Tungus-5 activation it is necessary to extract a plug from the module slot and put the electrical triggering device into the slot. Light indication of electric circuit integrity control and tone signal should occur thereafter. After receiving evidence that light indication and tone signal have occurred one need to press Start button, extract the triggering device out of the slot and throw the module into burning area. The period of time from pressing Start button to the moment of module throwing should be not more than 4 seconds.

In contrast to Russian and foreign analogs Tungus-5 module:- has unbreakable frame;- can be used both in closed space and in outdoor conditions;- is safe, doesn’t contain any explosion-hazardous pyrotechnical components. The temperature of gas-

and-powder jet throwing out of the module into the seat of fire is close to ambient one.MPP Tungus-5 special feature is that it can be used for seats of fire extinguishing in places difficult of

access and in places with complex geometry. Stationary, autonomous or self-triggering modules can be used for seats of fire extinguishing under false floor, hung ceiling, into ventilation wells, cable channels, ceiling and roof sections, chimneys, attics, basements, storehouses with flammable substances. Tungus-5 modules can be also used for fire safety in gas equipment cabinets, electric equipment cabinets, electrical panels, under-bonnet space of motorcars and in many other objects.

Modules with manual launch can be used as an operational firefighting device by fire prevention subdivisions, locomotive crews of railway transport, sea and river boat crews. They can also be used by voluntary fire brigades in the countryside, by office personnel and individuals for fire protection of private ownership before fire brigade arriving to a fire-place.

Tungus-5 module is certified. Serial production is organized.




Volley Fire-extinguishing Set Tunguska

One of the most important factors of fire loss enhancement is a time of taking prompt measures aimed at fire liquidation. Taking into account roads condition, traffic jams, high remoteness of settlements and separate objects from fire stations the time of fire brigade arrival to fire-place may be critical. In this case even small seat of fire will turn into large and destructive one. Fire-extinguishing in this case is of great complication.

Taking this into account Istochnik Plus, closed joint stock company, has designed a volley fire-extinguishing set Tunguska which makes it possible to carry out prompt firefighting or fire localizing before fire brigade arriving.

Tunguska consists of 9 powder fire-extinguishing modules Tungus-24 mounted on rotary device. Rotary device provides changing of the powder emission angle into a seat of fire. Such fire-extinguishing set is mounted on a vehicle which can move fast by road. So it can be mounted both stationary and on a vehicle. It can be mounted on motor cars, motor car trailers, tractor trolleys, where a driver can operate the device without leaving a cabin. The time for a vehicle preparation for departure to a fire place is not more than for any other vehicle.

Tungus-24 modules are activated with electric signal of low power; starting current is 0.12A. Their life time is 10 years without any maintenance. The temperature range of operation is from -50 to +50°C. Each of modules provides fire-extinguishing on square up to 75m2 and volume up to 250m3 and has the efficient length of powder jet of 20m. Modules changing is provided during a few minutes, and modules recharging can be made after their usage at any station of fire extinguishers technical maintenance.

Tunguska set can be used as an efficient mean for local volunteer fire brigades before special fire brigades arriving to the fire place in countryside and in fire-hazardous objects where fire can progress with high speed.

Testings carried out together with All-Russian Research Institute of fire defense, in Biysk forestry and in Pavlovsk have approved high efficiency of the set. The set has been implemented for fire protection of objects of Militarized mine-rescue units.







Combined Method of Fire Extinguishing of Oil and Gas Producing Wells

Combined method of fire extinguishing of oil and gas producing wells is based on usage of impulse powder fire-extinguishing modules Tungus in the structure of a gas-and-water fire-extinguishing vehicle GAWFEV-150.

GAWFEV-150 is a firefighting vehicle on chassis of which a turbojet engine is placed. GAWFEV has a fuel feeding system of turbojet engine fuel supplying, a system of water supplying to engine exhausting jet and a spraying system. The procedure of fire extinguishing with the help of gas-and-water jet is following. The jet brought to the fire bottom provides oil and gas well cooling. Then the jet is slid upwards along the flare axis and provides flameout. After that a gas-and-water jet supplying is proceeded for ultimate well-control equipment cooling.

However the efficiency of GAWFEV-150 is limited therefore they are used for oil and gas producing wells with flowing production rate up to 4.5 thousand tons per day (or 4.5).

Aiming to the efficiency level raising of oil and gas wells fire extinguishing a new combined method of firefighting – a gas-and-water powder fire extinguishing – has been proposed. This method is based on principle according to which a firefighting powder is supplied in impulse mode to a seat of fire with the help of GAWFEV-150 after well-control equipment cooling and oxygen concentration reducing. Impulse firefighting powder jet makes a fire blowout and provides an extinguishing of a seat of fire.

The highest features are performed when using in the structure of GAWFEV-150 of powder fire-extinguishing modules Tungus-24 with 22 kg firefighting powder mass.

Full-scale tests of a combined gas-and-water powder fire extinguishing system on a polygon of RN-Yuganskneftegaz, limited liability company, have approved its high efficiency. According to the technical evaluation and full-scale tests results this new firefighting device increases the probability of fire extinguishing of gas, oil-and-gas and oil well springs with production rate limit increased by 60% approximately.

4 Tungus-24 modules are mounted on a new technical device. The usage of such modules amount affords to increase the power of the firefighting set and its endurance.




Powder Fire-extinguishing modules tunGus for Fire Pro-tection of Armaments Objects

Russian Ministry of Defense has recommended MPP Tungus for fire protection of armaments objects, in particular, ammunition storages.

The development of automatic device to provide the fire protection of stacks of ammunition in storages has been completed and recommended for serial production. Automatical and autonomous fire-extinguishing device has been developed on basis of powder fire-extinguishing modules Tungus.

The device is designed for extinguishing fire in stacks of ammunition packed in wooden containers in volume and on stack surface. After ambient temperature raising higher than critical value of 72°C or 93°C depending on the version of detecting-and-triggering device USP-101 the launching of USP-101 device occurs, and as a result powder fire-extinguishing modules start to work.

The device has two modules and a detecting-and-triggering device in its structure which is mounted on the device frame.

Powder Fire-extinguishing modules tunGusof explosion-proof Version

16 modifications of explosion-proof powder fire-extinguishing modules Tungus have been developed and put into serial production on base of explosion-proof cold-gas sources (CGS) created in Istochnik Plus, closed joint stock company. Modules explosion-proof markings are RP Exial X and 0ExialIIBT3 X.

Modules with RP Exial X explosion-proof marking of mining modification are special for fire protection of objects in mines, mine workings, and above-ground buildings which are hazardous in gas and dust and conform to GOST R 51330.0, PB 05-618-03, PB 03-553-03 State standards.

Protection class from external influence in according to GOST 14254-96:

- for inlet box…………………………………………….IP54 - for MPP frame………………………………………….IP67Modules are certified in Explosion-proof and mining equipment

certification centre.Federal service for ecological, technological and nuclear inspection

has also recommended modules TUNGUS usage in mines and mine workings which are dangerous in dust and/or gas (Permission № RRC 00-35855).

By using of different modifications of a fire safety of objects of any configuration and extent is provided.Modules save their functionality during 10 years without technical maintenance. Thermal-resistant

modification is also available for explosion-proof modules which provide reliable operation within thermal range from -60°C to +90°C. All explosion-proof modules are the devices of multiple usage and can be recharged at any station of fire extinguishers technical maintenance.

MPP Tungus are launched into work by electrical signal of low power, starting current is 0.15mA.MPP Tungus fire testings in mines of Novoroscement have approved their high technical and operational

features. With the help of modules fire testings with extinguishing of conveyor belts have been successfully carried out.

Explosion-proof modules are recommended by Technical board of coal branch development, and industrial and ecological safety of Kemerovo region for modules usage in coal industry. Institute of mining of Siberian branch of Russian Academy of sciences has approved the reasonability of MPP Tungus usage in mines, machine chambers, underground electric power stations, storages of explosives and in other multipurpose objects of permanent workings.

Explosion-proof modifications of the modules are widely implemented in many objects of Kuznetsk Basin.At present moment the development of modules with higher explosion-proof level is in process.

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR FIRE PROTECTION OF DIFFERENT PURPOSE OBjECTS

Storages 1) A storage with 16m ceiling height, where a pallet shelf stands of 12m height are located. The height of stacking can

reach 13.5m height. The fire class is A. MPP(N)-10(st)-I-GE-U2 recommended locating for protection of one shelf stand is shown in Figure 4.

The shelf stand is conditionally divided into two layers in height. One MPP is used for fire protection of each layer. The module protecting the upper layer helps partially to the second module with the firefighting powder. The length of the shelf stand protected section according to the MPP features doesn’t exceed 6m. According to SP 5.13130.2009 Set of Rules the area of object to be protected must be increased by 10 per cent. Therefore the length of the shelf stand protected section should not exceed 5.45m. An additional set of two more MPP each at end face of the shelf stand is needed for shaded areas elimination.




2) A storage with 8m ceiling height, where shelf stands of 7m height are located, so production stacking practically reaches the ceiling. In this case the MPP locating according to Figure 2 is impossible because of shaded area appearance near the ceiling. MPP(N)-10(st)-I-GE-U2 recommended locating for a fragment of the shelf stand is shown in Figure 5.

The lower layer of the shelf stand is protected with the modules located in the central part of the shelf stand. And the upper part is protected with the modules set from one side and angularly both to the shelf stand and to the floor surface.

3) A storage with 10.8m ceiling height, where a gravitational pallet shelf stand of 10m height is located. The length




of the shelf stand is 70m and the width is 22m. The shelf stand consists of 5 layers (roll-tables) for production storage and pallet relocation. The fire class is A. Fire extinguishing of the shelf stand is rather difficult. Firstly in case of the shelf stand solid filling the fire extinguishing by firefighting powder jet supplying from the outside is ineffective owing to big width. Secondly fire extinguishing of outside wall and the upper part of the shelf stand is a complicated task because of production stacking reaching the ceiling practically. In such situation the effective solution is combined fire extinguishing where outside walls should be protected with the help of Tungus-10(st) and the internal part – with the help of Tungus-5.

The outside walls are protected with Tungus-10(st) according to the scheme of high-altitude shelf stands protection given above. The shelf stand is conditionally divided into two layers in height. One MPP is used for fire protection of each layer. The module protecting the upper layer helps partially to the second module with the firefighting powder. The length of the shelf stand protected section for layer-to-layer extinguishing with the help of two modules should not exceed 5.45m. According to the requirements of manual instructions the efficient depth of fire extinguishing in case of local protection of the shelf stand equals 1.5m.

The protection of upper (overhead) shelf stand surface is also provided with MPP Tungus-10(st). The module mounted angularly with 20° slope to horizontal surface provides fire extinguishing of the shield stand section of 3.2 width and 20.3m length. Taking into account the inequality of the production been stacked 2 items MPP Tungus-10(st) is needed for fire protection of the upper section of 22m length and 3.2m width. The modules should be mounted from opposite edges of the shield stand with modules nozzles aimed to each other. The distance between the adjacent modules should not exceed 3.2m.

For fire extinguishing of internal space of the shield stand an application of MPP Tungus-5 is recommended which provides radial all-round powder jet emission. MPP locating should be carried out on each layer in free space between the floor and lower roll-tables or between production packings and roll-tables. MPP mounting can be carried out to the floor under the lower layer and to roll-table frame between roll-tables and production packings in upper layers. Taking into account the 1.5m depth of efficient fire extinguishing by external modules it is needed to protect the volume of 300…500mm height, of 19x67m size, i.e. square to be protected equals 1273m3. In case if the height of the volume protected is not more than 1m, Tungus-5 protected area equals 78m2. With taking into account shaded zones forming because of production packings and roll-tables a coefficient of reserve is applied. It takes into consideration the shadiness of a possible seat of fire and equals k2=1.2, therefore the efficient firefighting module ability should not exceed 65m2. The size of space protected for each MPP Tungus-5 when placing it in gravitational shield stand is determined as 6.3*9.6=60.5m3.

The scheme of MPP Tungus-10(st) and MPP Tungus-5 locating on the object to be protected for gravitational shield stand local fire extinguishing is shown in Figure 6.










Cable Tunnels, Cellars, Space under Hung Ceilings

1) As an example a cable tunnel with square cross-section (3x3m) where a cable bridges are located along the sides is described below.

When determinating of a method of fire protection the fact that cable bridges create shaded areas has been taken into consideration. Traditional methods are ineffective in this case. The application of MPP Tungus-10(st) allows reducing significantly the influence of shading zones.

Cable channel is conventionally divided into zones (zones II, III, IV, V etc.) as it shown in Figure 7. Two Tungus-10(st) modules are set in pairs on a rack horizontally to the floor surface and angularly with 20° nozzle slope to the tunnel sides. In the case describing a powder jet is expanded along the tunnel wall, i.e. the wall is conventionally described as a floor. Such powder jet orientation allows reducing significantly the influence of shading zones. The length of square protected (LH) equals 20.3m according to MPP manual instructions while length is not more than 3.2m. Actual protected length should be reduced proportionally to k2 coefficient, which factors the shadiness from cable bridges, therefore the length to be protected equals L=LH/k2. A distance from a nozzle spray to the sector of zone protected where fire extinguishing is inefficient is 2.3m. Therefore unprotected sector – zone I – remains unprotected. The volume of the zone unprotected is 27m3 (3x3x3m). Here ceiling-mounted MPP installation is possible. The level of shading from cable bridges in this case (Sy/Sз) =0.5…0.6, i.e. k2 coefficient equals 1.67…1.8. For zone I protecting it is enough to set the module capable to extinguish fires in volume not less than 48,6m3. It is suggested to use the modules MPP(N)-5-I-GE-U2 (Tungus-5) or MPP(N)-4-I-GE-U2 (Tungus-4) which have the value of the volume protected up to 100m3.

2) In case of less height of cable channel (not more than 2.2m) it is allowed to mount Tungus-10(st) module directly




on ceiling without the usage of an additional rack, as it shown in Figure 8. In other respects the method of calculating of the number of the MPP needed and the scheme of the MPP placing in a tunnel is similar to the one from the previous paragraph.

3) In case of location of one or two cable bridges along cable tunnel lateral sides it is possible to use Tungus-5 module. Depending on the cable bridges location MPP mounting on a ceiling or on a wall is permitted (see Figure 9). One module is purposed to provide fire protection of a channel or a channel section with width up to 3m, height up to 2.8m, and length up to 12m. The figures are given without accounting the shadiness from cable bridges and the level of nonhermeticity of the tunnel.

4) For cable cellars with 0.25m height or space under hung ceiling fire protection, MPP(N)-5-I-GE-U2 is essential due to all-round radial emission of firefighting powder. With height up to 1m without accounting of shadiness one MPP protects up to 78m2 in square and with height up to 2m – up to 50m2 in square.




Industrial Premises with Close Equipment Location and Ceiling Height up to 16m

Close equipment location forms large shaded areas which make fire extinguishing more complex. The simple solution is to locate Tungus-10(st) modules angularly, as it was shown in recommendations for fire protection of storages and cable channels, and Tungus-5 setting in shaded places difficult of access or in half-closed fire-hazardous space of object being protected.

Garages, Garage Boxes, Railway Depots

In case of necessary sloping angle MPP(N)-10(st)-I-GE-U2 (Tungus-10(st)) can extinguish a vehicle and petrol and oil overflows in shaded zone (space under bonnets) simultaneously. The scheme of fire extinguishing is shown in Figure 10. MPP(M)-5-I-GE-U2 (Tungus-5) setting under a vehicle (for example on lateral side of a repair pit) provides reliable fire protection of a bottom of the vehicle and the place of a probable petrol or oil overflowing under the vehicle.

Storages of Fuels and Inflammable Liquids

Firefighting powder impulse emission, a choosing of a necessary direction for powder jet and high fire-extinguishing ability of Tungus-10(st) allow its usage for fire extinguishing of storages of fuels and lubricants and inflammable liquids (see Figure 11).

Business Must Be Protected!An Automatical Fire-extinguishing Set Tungus for Fire Protection of Petrol Stations

With annual stable growth of a number of motor transports the net of petrol stations is permanently extending. Petrol stations are situated both uptown and directly in settlements and residential communities of towns and cities. Modern petrol stations meet up-to-date safety and comfort requirements. The execution of the requirements to technological equipment provides a vehicle safe operation and fuelling.

However it is necessary to take into account the situation of accidental petrol overflowing and petrol inflammation directly in a place of a vehicle fuelling next to a petrol pump. A fast response to the inflammation depends on human’s psychological state in such situation, an availability of primary firefighting means, human training and skills in primary firefighting means application. Not everyone can rush to extinguish a fire arisen. Most probably a human’s saving instinct will be actuated. APFES represents powder fire-extinguishing modules Tungus-6S (see Figure 1), equipped with detecting-and-triggering device 2 with remote optical element 3 (see Figure 1) or other device of automatical actuation, which generates an electrical impulse for MPP launching after open fire detecting. Tungus-6S module provides extinguishing of burning petrol in square of 16m2 in open area of a petrol station from a height of 4…6m. The number of MPP in APFES for petrol stations is determined by

making calculations in accordance with the recommendations developed.As an example a calculation of APFES for a sectional petrol station shown in Figure 2 is given. The petrol station

being protected is located under a metal shed for human’s protection from rainfall when paying and fuelling a vehicle. The petrol station has a possibility of petrol supplying from its both sides simultaneously. APFES should provide the possibility of fire extinguishing around the petrol pump in square of possible petrol overflowing.

Figure 1

Figure 2

The area of possible petrol overflowing within petrol station makes up: Sy=7*9=63m2. A variant of local fire extinguishing of fires class B in area extent is considered.

The calculating of the necessary amount of MPP in APFES is made in accordance with SP 5.13130.2009 Set of rules providing a control of any section of area protected with the help of not less than two MPP. Zones to be controlled depend on viewing angle of remote optical element in the structure of automatic launching device and are specified according to the formula:

R=H*tg45° (where R – the radius of a circuit of the zone protected, H – the distance from a floor to the remote optical element).

The place of MPP location is determined graphically by plotting of field of view borders with overlapping of all zones protected with the help of not less than two MPP. The quantity of MPP for fire protection of a zone being under control is determined by the formula:

,4321 kkkk

where:- N – the number of MPP.- Sy=63m2 – area to be protected. In case of local fire extinguishing the area being protected must be

increased by 10%, i.e. Sy=1.1*63=69.3m2.- Sн=16m2 –area to be protected with one MPP from 4m height into the open air.- k1=1.0 – the coefficient of irregularity of powder emission.- k2 – reserve coefficient accounting the shadiness of a possible seat of fire. k2 coefficient is determined by

the following formula:

Sз=16m2 – shaded area appearing during simultaneous fuelling of two motor cars. k2 coefficient determined in accordance with formula 2 is equal to 1.338.

- k3=1.0 – the coefficient accounting a changing of firefighting efficiency of powder being used in relation to combustion agent in protected zone in comparison with petrol of A-76 sort.

- k4 – the coefficient accounting a nonhermeticity level in premises protected (the presence of a wind of 2mps speed in case of fire extinguishing into the open air). k4 coefficient in case of local fire extinguishing is assumed to be equal of 1.3.

The necessary amount of MPP determined in accordance with formula 1 is the following:




APFES intended for fire protection of an area around one petrol pump must consist from 8 modules Tungus-6S.The place of MPP setting is determined graphically so that each section of the area protected is being controlled by

not less than two modules. The modules are mounted on tough construction of a metal shed. The height of the shed is determined by a project for the petrol station. Viewing field border radius determined in accordance with formula R=H*tg45° for a sectional petrol station (the height of installation is 4m) equals 4m. The scheme of the APFES location on a petrol station shield is shown in Figure 4. A design diagram of MPP viewing field borders where the petrol station is protected within its whole area with the help of not less than two modules is shown in Figure 5.

Annex 3

Cold Gas Sources (CGS)Based on Advanced Solid Gas Generating Compositions

«Istochnik Plus», closed joint stock company, has designed and developed the serial production of cold-gas cources (SGS) based on solid gas-generating composition materials. They maintain all advantages of solid-propellant gas generators (high operational features, relative gas productivity and reliability) produced on base of defence industry achievements. And at the same time CGS has new useful properties (low temperature of gas generated – less than 150°C) which help to answer the wide range of civilian purposes.

CGS is intended for inert gas generating aiming to creation of excess pressure into fire-extinguishing means and a firefighting agent displacement from them. In addition CGS can be used for:

- unfolding and pressure boosting of emergency rescue means;- lifting up of different items from the depth of the water to the water surface and providing their floatability;- pneumatic drive actuating;- pneumatic lifting devices actuating;- gaseous medium creation providing volume fire-extinguishing and eguipment protection;- decontamination agent diffusion for life-saving during anthropogenic disaster and terroristic acts.Development relevance:The experience accumulated shows that CGS usage as a component of a firefighting mean approves the possibility

of creating fundamentally new manual and autonomous (nonvolatile) portable and stationary powder fire-extinguishing modules. Such devices have high technical and operating features which can’t be provided in case of usage of gas cylinders or the devices under pressure.

CGS-based devices provide:- reliability of operating and actuating during the long operation life (up to 10 years without any maintenance);- expanded thermal range of operation: from minus 60 to plus 90 °С;- long and efficient firefighting powder jet owing to working pressure generating and firefighting powder fluffing before

displacement from firefighting mean;- operating costs decreasing owing to maintenance work exception;- reasonable prices thanks to construction simplification of traditional devices;- safety of operation (excess pressure is generated in frame only after electrical signal injection for CGS launching);CGS consists of a cylindrical frame filled with a gas-generating compound and supplied with starting device.There is a number of CGS with a wide range of features and functionality. CGS differ with the way of their actuating

(mechanical, electrical and with the help of coded radiosignal), their embodiment, generating gas structure.

Some technical features are shown in the table.

The following CGS-based devices are designed and developed in serial manufacture:- 12 modifications of powder fire-extinguishers with volume from 2 to 8 litres;- 54 modifications of powder fire-extinguishing modules with volume from 0,65 to 24 litres;- system of emergent blocking of gas-main pipelines and the protection of gas industry objects (compressor houses,

gas-pumping stations and others) in case of emergency situations (Gals systems);- system for item lifting up from the depth and item floatability providing (Udav systems).

Awards:

- Diploma of The First National Award Zubr;- Diploma of World Academy of Sciences of Complex Safety;- Diploma of International Association Systemservis in nomination of The best Innovative Product;- Systems created on base of CGS were awarded with 18 gold medals and a number of prizes and diplomas of

Russian and international exhibitions. Their novelty was protected by patents and invention applications.
