35、013 (E)EN 16081:2011+A1:2013 (E) 4 1 Scope This European Standard is applicable to the performance and safety requirements of fire extinguishing systems and their associated test methods for multi-place chambers designed for pressures in excess of ambient atmospheric pressure and employed in medical
36、 installations for therapeutic purposes, in the following referred to as chambers. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the
37、 referenced document (including any amendments) applies. EN 14931:2006, Pressure vessels for human occupancy (PVHO) Multi-place pressure chamber systems for hyperbaric therapy Performance, safety requirements and testing 3 Terms and definitions For the purposes of this document, the following terms
38、and definitions apply: 3.1 fire extinguishing system system for active deployment of extinguishing medium inside the chamber in order to extinguish fire 3.2 extinguishing medium liquid or gas used to extinguish fire 3.3 nozzle mechanical device used to ensure dispersion of extinguishing medium insid
39、e the chamber with certain characteristics 4 Specific hazards regarding fire risks A fire, as a physical phenomenon, is significantly influenced by the ambient pressure, the partial pressure of oxygen and the confined space of the hyperbaric chamber. The rate of combustion will be directly related t
40、o ambient pressure and the oxygen level. In a hyperbaric environment with increased oxygen partial pressure, even materials thought to be non-combustible will burn fiercely. Owing to the confined space in the chamber, a fire would cause a sudden increase of temperature and high concentration of toxi
41、c gases and smoke. If such a fire occurs, it shall be dealt with quickly and all personnel and patients shall be evacuated from the chamber. People suffering from breathing difficulties and burns shall be cared for (see Annex B). 5 Performance and requirements 5.1 Fire extinguishing systems in hyper
42、baric chambers shall produce a specified extinguishing performance as stated in Clause 6. 5.2 Fire extinguishing systems shall suit the chambers maximum operational pressure. They shall fully protect all chamber compartments for human occupancy. EN 16081:2011+A1:2013 (E) 5 5.3 The fire extinguishing
43、 system shall be installed in such a way that the risk of physical injury to persons inside the chamber is as low as possible. 5.4 Fire extinguishing systems shall have a manual release. Independent activation shall be possible from inside and outside the chamber. The release shall be easily accessi
44、ble and protected against unintentional activation (e.g. safety button). For operation, see EN 14931:2006, 4.5.1. An additional automatic release is permitted if its suitability is proven for hyperbaric conditions up to the chambers maximum operational pressure and documented. 5.5 With both an autom
45、atic and manual release, a warning signal shall be heard at the control console. This warning signal may be temporarily muted, but there shall be no possibility to switch it off as long as the fire system is active. 5.6 The extinguishing nozzles shall be installed in such a way that the required ext
46、inguishing effect is ensured for any sitting and lying place inside the chamber. A lying place is to be considered as minimum three sitting places in one line. NOTE The nozzles arrangement is stipulated by the manufacturer of the fire extinguishing system. He decides where and how many nozzles in ac
47、cordance with seats or stretchers are to be placed. Other areas shall be covered in the seating height by the equivalent of at least 50% of the required extinguishing medium flow specified per seat (see 6.2.14). This medium flow shall be delivered from nozzles of the same characteristic as in the te
48、st. 5.7 Pipes and hoses containing the extinguishing medium shall be made of suitable material concerning pressure and corrosion. For other pipes and hoses, see EN 14931:2006, 4.7.4. For shut off devices, see EN 14931:2006, 4.2.15 5.8 Pipes and hoses of the fire extinguishing system shall be marked
49、according to the medium and its function. Actuators (e.g. valves, press buttons and manual releases) shall be marked in such a way that they are distinguished from all other systems. For installation of pipes, see EN 14931:2006, 4.7.7. 5.9 The extinguishing medium tank shall be suitable for the intended pressure and protected against pressure exceeding the maximum allowable design pressure. The material of the tank shall be suitable for the extinguishing medium or shall be adequately protected against corrosion. The extinguishing medium supply tank
