Automatic fire suppression systems
Stationary, automatic extinguishing systems fight fires in the formation phase. Depending on the area of application, the detectors immediately detect flames, sparks, smoke and heat.
In this way, they provide reliable protection for machines, IT systems, buildings and fire-hazardous material stores. At the same time, automatic fire extinguishing systems work very efficiently so that they help to avoid production downtimes.
Types of automatic extinguishing systems
Common extinguishing systems include:
Water extinguishing systems:
|
Gas extinguishing systems:
|
Foam extinguishing systems |
Powder extinguishing systems |
Special extinguishing system, e.g. Ansul kitchen extinguishing system |
The choice of extinguishing agent depends on the location. For example, server rooms and electrical systems are equipped with gas extinguishing systems to avoid extinguishing damage as far as possible.
Planning of extinguishing systems
A fire-hazardous materials warehouse or the canteen kitchen of a hospital - each environment requires a different automatic extinguishing system. At the same time, planners have to comply with all specifications as well as the cost framework. This requires legal and business knowledge.
CWS defines the protection goal according to all specifications and at the same time prepares feasibility and economic analyses. CWS is also your contact for the installation of the stationary, automatic extinguishing system.
The need for fire suppression systems
All-round service by CWS
Automatic extinguishing systems serve to protect people and property. They are used in data centres, production halls, warehouses, hospitals, processing machines and electrical switchgear.
Fire extinguishing systems are usually required by the special building regulations of the federal states, the authorities and property insurers. In addition, extinguishing systems are often part of the fire protection concept, but are also rewarded by insurance companies as a voluntary investment.
Our experts coordinate with insurance companies and authorities in advance in order to offer you the best possible price-performance ratio.
Installing fire suppression systems
It is important that the fire protection, electrical, plumbing and installation trades work closely together so that automatic extinguishing systems can go into operation.
The cross-trade work of CWS Fire Safety minimises your coordination effort. CWS experts manage the work independently in close coordination until the final acceptance and cooperate with proven partners if necessary. Afterwards, you will receive the installer certificate and documentation for your extinguishing system.
Inspection of fire suppression systems
Each fire suppression system must be inspected before being put into operation in accordance with the BetrSichV. An approved inspection centre (i.e. a ZÜS) will be responsible for this. It will also be responsible for regular maintenance. The inspections must be documented (§ 17 BetrSichV). When it comes to maintenance and repairs, you are in the best of hands with us.
