The Physics of Fire

• Fire Triangle

Fuel, Oxygen & Heat

• What is fire?

The state of combustion in which inflammable material burns, producing heat, flames and often smoke.

Page 5: Kidde Engineered Fire Suppression System 25 bar Equipment Hardware Engineered for use with 3M™ Novec™ 1230 Fire Protection Fluid.

How Does Novec 1230 Fluid Work?

• Fire can be extinguished by the following mechanisms

– By interrupting the combustion chain reaction– By containing or eliminating the source of fuel– By cutting off or diluting the source of oxygen– By removing sufficient heat from the fire

• Novec 1230 fluid has the highest heat capacity of any

commercially available Halon alternative, resulting in

the lowest extinguishing concentrations for a given

fuel.

Design Fundamentals

• Designer must determine whether agent is suitable for risk material(s).

• Total flood application requires that the risk area be of adequate integrity to maintain the desired concentration for at least 10 minutes.

• Fan tests are usually recommended to determine if leakage is within appropriate limits

• Designer must determine whether expected temperature range is suitable for the equipment and/or flow calculation method

1. Determine Mass of Agent Required

2. Evaluate Nozzle Flow Rates & Coverage

3. Design Distribution Piping

Design Basics

Page 9: Kidde Engineered Fire Suppression System 25 bar Equipment Hardware Engineered for use with 3M™ Novec™ 1230 Fire Protection Fluid.

• Volume of protected space.

• Elevation above (or below) sea level.

• Temperature range in protected space.

• Fuel / Fire Risk.

Relevant Factors:

[1] Mass of Agent

Page 10: Kidde Engineered Fire Suppression System 25 bar Equipment Hardware Engineered for use with 3M™ Novec™ 1230 Fire Protection Fluid.

10

Volume of Risk

• Calculate gross volume of space. Always round-up rather than down.

• Do not forget to add the volume of recessed areas such as window frames.

• Reduce gross volume if there are permanent impermeable objects or structural elements within the risk.

Mass of Agent

Page 11: Kidde Engineered Fire Suppression System 25 bar Equipment Hardware Engineered for use with 3M™ Novec™ 1230 Fire Protection Fluid.

11

Height of risk relative to sea level

• Atmospheric pressure (and so air density) varies with altitude

• Apply correction factor to basic agent quantity if risk is +/- 1000m or more above sea level (software has field for elevation data entry).

• Note: Risk areas significantly above sea level will require less agent, while those below sea level will require more!

Mass of Agent

Page 12: Kidde Engineered Fire Suppression System 25 bar Equipment Hardware Engineered for use with 3M™ Novec™ 1230 Fire Protection Fluid.

12

Temperature effects

• Use minimum anticipated temperature unless otherwise stipulated by authority responsible.

• The target is a specified minimum % agent to air. When the air is cold it is more dense, therefore reducing the temperature will increase the mass of air present within a risk. To maintain a minimum concentration the quantity of agent delivered must be increased as the temperature drops.

Min / Max Height

• The minimum height of any void with standard nozzle spacing is 300mm. For more shallow voids contact KFP for guidance.

• The maximum height, floor to ceiling for a single row of nozzles is 4.87 m. Beyond this additional tiers will be required, each up to 4.87 m apart.

Maximum Area Coverage and Position

• Maximum area per nozzle 118.8m2

• 360o Length of 10.9 m, Width of 10.9 m

• 180o Length of 10.9 m, Width of 10.9 m

• 360o nozzle to be located close to the centre of the protected area of coverage.

• 180o nozzle to be located close to the centre of the wall.

• 180o nozzles may be used in a back-to-back configuration. The nozzles should be placed between 0.3 to 0.6 m apart.

Distribution PipingEngineered Systems

• Require hydraulic flow calculations using Kidde Flow Calculation Software which provide detailed printable reports.

• Allows for unbalanced apportioning of agent.

NOTE: It is recommended that floor and ceiling voids are protected unless they are completely sealed from the main risk.
