Engineering method for determining rational fire protection parameters of warehouses

Abstract

38 4) instant inclusion of smoke protection systems (smoke and heat removal system with opening mechanism) 5) automatic opening of evacuating doors; 6) instant inclusion of an automatic fire extinguishing system for objects.At the present stage, when installing fire protection systems (FPS) at the facility, a problem arises that they do not take into account for the facility, in order to reduce the cost of purchasing fire protection systems, the allowable service area for each device in the system. This approach leads to a decrease in the functionality of the fire protection system of the facility by 40...65 %. In turn, in case of fire at the facility, in this case, losses from the fire increase 2...3 times [1].Fire statistics indicate that the number of fires in warehouse buildings in Ukraine annually exceeds 130 [2]. In most cases, warehouses are burned to the ground for a large amount of fuel load and the failure of fire protection systems to ensure their fire safety. Over the course of 5 years, a significant number of fires occurred in the USA, namely 1210 in

Optimizing the process of fire detection in warehouses considering the type and location of fire detectors

“…The authors of work [2] proposed an engineering method for determining the number of fire detectors in closed premises of warehouses and logistics centers. The simulation results showed that in order to ensure the reliability of fire protection systems, it is necessary to increase the number of fire detectors several times compared to the normative number.…”

“…Ensuring an acceptable level of fire safety in warehouse buildings and structures is an important task. The number of large warehouse facilities is growing, logistics centers are being built with areas reaching tens of thousands of m 2 . Statistics indicate that over the past decade, the number of fires at such facilities has quadrupled.…”
