Fire Extinguishing and Detection Systems

Fire extinguishing and detection systems are systems that aim to minimize the loss of life and property by detecting fires early and responding quickly. These systems consist of fire detection sensors and fire extinguishing equipment. Here is detailed information about different fire extinguishing systems:

• Water Type Fire Extinguishing: Extinguishes the fire using water. The most commonly used type is sprinkler systems. These systems are automatically activated when a fire is detected and control the fire by spraying water on the fire area. Water systems are usually used in places such as office buildings, shopping malls and hotels.
• Dry Chemical Powder Fire Extinguishing: Extinguishes the fire using chemical powder. These systems are especially effective for electrical fires and flammable liquid fires. Dry chemical powder extinguishes the fire by cutting off the fire's contact with oxygen. These systems are usually used in industrial facilities and laboratories.
• Gas Fire Extinguishing: Extinguishes the fire using inert gases or chemical gases. These systems extinguish the fire by cutting off the fire's contact with oxygen or by stopping chemical reactions1. Gas systems are used especially in places like data centers and telecommunication rooms where electronic equipment is located. Commonly used gases include carbon dioxide (CO2) and FM200

These systems are vital for fire safety and buildings must be designed and installed in accordance with fire regulations.
