23、5-2:2009EN 13565-2:2009 (E) 5 Foreword This document (EN 13565-2:2009) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 191 “Fixed firefighting systems”, the secretariat of which is held by BSI. This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an ident
24、ical text or by endorsement, at the latest by November 2009, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by November 2009. EN 13565 Fixed firefighting systems Foam systems consists of the following parts: Part 1: Requirements and test methods for components Part 2: Design, co
25、nstruction and maintenance According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: : Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hunga
26、ry, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and United Kingdom. BS EN 13565-2:2009EN 13565-2:2009 (E) 6 Introduction It has been assumed by the drafting of this European Standard, th
27、at the application of the contained requirements shall be given to qualified and experienced personnel only. It is considered to apply to new foam systems and so it is not considered to apply to existing foam systems. Foam systems are designed to provide a homogeneous layer of bubbles, of aerated fi
28、re fighting foam concentrate and water, over the surface of flammable liquids (Class B) and/or combustible materials (Class A). The layer of bubbles will suppress the release of flammable vapours, exclude air, and cool the fuel and hot surfaces. In addition, High Expansion Foam may be used to provid
29、e total flooding of enclosures with 3 dimensional hazards of either Class A and/or Class B fuels. Prior to the selection and design of foam systems the hazards should undergo a risk assessment; however this is outside the scope of this European Standard. Applications for foam systems can be diverse
30、so no one type of foam system can be prescribed. This European Standard provides guidance for the design of various foam systems available to persons with knowledge and experience in determining the selection of foam fire extinguishing systems which will be effective in protecting specific hazard co
31、nfigurations. The requirement for foam systems derives from risk assessment by those competent to carry out such assessments which are outside the scope of this European Standard. Nothing in this European Standard is intended to restrict new technologies or alternative arrangements, provided the lev
32、el of safety prescribed by this European Standard is not lowered. Typical uses of the various types of foam system are set out in Table 1 below: Table 1 Typical uses of the various types of foam system Hazard Low expansion Medium expansion High expansion(indoors) Flammable liquid storage tanks Yes N
33、o No Tank bunds/collecting areas Yes Yes Yes + LNG/LPG Process areas Yes Yes Yes Aircraft hangers Yes 25 mm) the foam system(s) shall be capable of operating for the duration specified in this European Standard. For spill fire hazards (fuel depth 35 C) may reduce the fire fighting performance and re
34、quire higher application rates - consult the foam concentrate manufacturer. BS EN 13565-2:2009EN 13565-2:2009 (E) 16 4.2.4 Power supply for water pumps Using fixed pumps and where availability and reliability are critical, consideration should be given to dual sources of water supply. These may be p
35、rovided by two or more pumps whose power sources are such that 100% duty is available should one source fail. Mobile pumping units may also be considered. 4.3 Foam concentrate 4.3.1 General Foam concentrates shall be tested and verified to be in accordance with EN 1568. Specific requirements are als
36、o given for low-expansion foams suitable for water-miscible fuels. NOTE 1 Foams tested as low expansion foams according to EN 1568 Parts 3 and 4 will achieve a performance classification based on its extinguishing and burnback properties. For a low expansion foam for water-immiscible fuels (EN 1568-
37、3), there are three extinguishing classes (I, II, III) and four burnback levels (A, B, C, D), performance classification IA being the highest classification. For a low expansion foam for water-miscible fuels (EN 1568-4), there are two extinguishing classes (I, II) and three burnback levels (A, B, C)
38、. It is important to notice that not all foams are suitable for use with sea water and that the performance classification might be different when using fresh water or sea water. In a foam extinguishing system the foam proportioner and foam concentrate shall be compatible in accordance with EN 13565
39、-1. The viscosity properties of the foam concentrate determined according to EN 1568 shall therefore be within the approved viscosity range for the proportioner according to EN 13565-1. Foam concentrates of different types and manufacture should not be mixed unless compatibility has been determined
40、by test and a test report provided. In the event of a change of foam concentrate, the performance classification of the new foam shall be equal to or better than the replaced foam or the minimum performance data specified in designing the system. The necessary performance data of the foam extinguish
41、ing system shall be kept on file. The quantity of foam concentrate provided shall be sufficient to ensure that the minimum specified operation time is achieved. NOTE 2 In addition, appropriate contingency planning is required to provide significant additional stocks of foam concentrate for post fire
42、 security. WARNING The extinguishing effect of premixed solutions, in storage vessels or pipework, may be reduced considerably depending on the storage time and the quality of water used. Polymeric film forming foams should not be pre-mixed unless written confirmation of suitability has been provide
43、d by the foam manufacturer. Foam concentrates shall be stored within the temperature limits given by the foam concentrate supplier. The quality of the stored foam concentrate should be checked using the guidelines described in Clause 11. 4.3.2 Foam concentrate supply low and medium expansion foams R
44、eserve supplies of foam concentrate shall be made available to re-activate the foam system in line with the hazard risk assessment for the site. BS EN 13565-2:2009EN 13565-2:2009 (E) 17 The foam concentrate quantity V in litres shall be calculated as follows: 100maxZtQV = (1) where Qmaxis the maxium
45、 water demand, in litres per minute; Z is the proportioning rate of the foam concentrate in percent; t is the operating time, in minutes. Continuous proportioning of the foam concentrate, for the complete operation time, shall be provided. The foam concentrate storage tanks shall be provided with a
46、contents verification device, drain and fill connections. Consideration shall be given to the design of the storage containers and their pressure/vacuum venting to minimise vapourisation and/or oxidation of concentrate. 4.3.3 Foam concentrate pumps 4.3.3.1 General The design, materials and construct
47、ion of foam concentrate pumps shall be suitable for use with the type of foam concentrate used in the system(s). The viscosity properties of the foam concentrate determined in accordance with EN 1568 shall therefore be within the approved viscosity range for the foam pump. Pumps shall be permanently
48、 filled with foam concentrate to minimise corrosion, foaming and sticking. Where centrifugal pumps are used they shall be fitted with mechanical seals to prevent the ingress of air. Test and re-circulation lines shall be provided from the pump delivery back into the foam storage container to enable the pump to be tested and for pressure relief/control where required. The pump shall be able to deliver the flo
