The document discusses different types of fire and gas detection equipment and their applications as well as methods of activation and response to fire detection.

Some of the fire and gas detectors mentioned include flame detectors, fusible plugs, gas detectors, VESDA, smoke detectors and heat detectors.

For flame detectors, at least two detectors are required to be in the same fire zone and activate according to a 2oo2 or 2ooN voting philosophy.

2oo2 Voting of flame detectors

Special Action Inhibit FWPs on APP to start Deluge valve NOT activated (no deluge in this fire zone)

Fusible plugs are fixed temperature heat detectors that

melt at the required temperature. Fire detection is due to loss of air/gas pressure in the fusible plug loop. Melt point is 203 DegF (95 DegC) on AWPs Melt point is 160 DegF (71 DegC) on APP

Fusible plug melt on APP


Activate deluge valve in that fire zone Start fire water pumps (due to fire water ring main pressure

low)
Fusible plug melt on AWP1
Activate ESD1 on AWP1 Activate deluge valve to AWP1 Start fire water pumps (due to fire water ring main pressure

low)
Fusible plug melt on AWPs
Activate ESD1 on AWPs

Special
Fusible plugs were provided at each riser valve to directly

close the valves when exposed to a fire.

The Deluge system is designed to protect high hazard

areas containing a severe fuel hazard with a high heat release rate by bringing a large number of open sprayers into action simultaneously in the event of a fire.

How many ways to activate deluge?

Note: for AWP1 will be activate ESD1 on AWP1 only

The Fire Water Manifold is pressurized at 10 barg by utility water

pumps. When the pressure drops to 6.5 barg or Confirmed Fire/Gas the first Fire Water Pump in the preset start sequence starts. If the manifold pressure do not build to 10 barg in 30 seconds, the second pump starts. If the manifold pressure still does not reach 10 barg in another 30 seconds, the third pump starts.
If 1st FW pump start and build pressure to 10 barg within 30s. 2nd

FW pump will not start But if the pressure drop below 10 barg after 30s. 2nd pump will start. After 2nd pump start, if pressure drop below 10 barg, 3rd pump will start. (With 30 seconds delay after 2nd pump started)
This logic is to prevent FW pumps start consecutively within 30

seconds

Infrared Hydrocarbon Gas Detector

Installation
All decks on APP

Theory of Operation
Certain IR wavelengths are absorbed by the gas

Infrared Hydrocarbon Gas Detector


Transmitter
Transmitter produces an intense, collimated infrared beam

which is produced by a Xenon arc flash lamp.

Receiver
Receiver collects infrared radiation from the transmitter and

performs measurements to enable hydrocarbon gases in the beam path to be detected.

Installation
All decks on APP

Theory of Operation
Certain IR wavelengths are absorbed by the gas

The outer shell is made of a rapidly expanding alloy which closely

follows changes in surrounding air temperature. The inner struts are made of a lower expanding alloy. Designed to resist thermal energy absorption and sealed inside the shell, the struts follow temperature changes more slowly. Designed to activate at a fixed temperature, regardless of the rate of temperature rise. Set point is 60 DegC.

They will be used as the primary means of fire

detection in areas where smoke is regularly expected and accepted (Welding workshop, mechanical workshops, EI workshop). Action
