FOAMFATALEWIND TURBINE

FIRE FIGHTING IN ENGINE

COMPARTMENTS

REASONS OF FIRE

• LIGHTNING STRIKE

• OVERLOADING BY TOO HIGH WIND VELOCITY (REGULATOR FAILURE)

• TRANSMISSION FAILURE (HIDRAULICS)

• ELECTRIC FAILURE

REASONS OF CATASTROPHE

• LONG DETECTION AND ALARMING TIME (EXCEPT LIGHTING STRIKE)

• LONG PREPARATION TIME (ALARM, APPROACH, ASSEMBLY)

• UNEFFECTIVE FIRE FIGHTING TECHNOLOGY (INCLUDING THE SORT OF EXTINGUISHING AGENT)

• UNMANNED OPERATION

• LACK OF INFRASTRUCTURE

THE TURBINES ARE TOLD TO BE SAFE

THE EXPERIENCE IS DIFFERENT

PROPOSAL FROM TFEX ENGINEERING

AUTOMATIC FAST RESPONSE FOAMFATALE SYSTEM

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

FOAM FOG FLOODING

IN THE

ENGINE OMPARTMENT

ARRANGEMENTEXTINGUISHING BY 16 BAR LOW PRESSURE

FOAM FOG

ARRANGEMENTFOAM SUPPLY FROM THE BOTTOM BY

FOAMFATALE PRESSURE VESSEL

INDEPENDENT SYSTEMS OF THE FARM

ADVANTAGES 1.Fire fighting

Early IR-UV or pneumatic detectionExtremely high foam application rateExtinguishing time measured in secondsGranted foam qualityVery high level of reliability

ADVANTAGES 2.Economic issues

• Very low or no damages in the techniques• No secondary damages• Independence from water, energy supply,

and human involvement• Very low maintenance costs• Low investment costs

ADVANTAGES 3.Environmental issues

No air pollutionNo live or underground water pollutionNo soil pollutionThe foam is biodegradableMaybe used in arid or polar condititons

TECHNICAL DETAILS

FoamFatale Pressure Vessel made by ASME or PEDStainless steel piping up to the topSpecial care for the critical pointsLess pressure drop to the top, because the foam has specific gravity of 0,116 bar pressure in the FFPV.Continuous Remote Status Monitoring of the FFPV, for the engine room temperature, CO2 content, system failure, fire initiated FF operation.
