11、STALLATIONS AND EQUIPMENT ON PREMISES (Geneva, 1996) 1 Introduction The different functions taking place in a telecommunication building generates possibilities and provides strong causes for fires on the premises. Fire extinction action involves concentrating the fire fighting at the origin of the
12、fire inside the building itself using a choice of extinguishing systems. The fire-fighting means to be adopted in a telecommunication building, may vary according to the usage and location of the premises and whether it is occupied. These are factors which determine the amount of fire service assist
13、ance initially allocated in case there should be a fire. 1.1 Portable equipment This includes transportable or movable fire-fighting devices, such as portable extinguishers, fire blankets, etc. and other equipment assisting personnel in fire fighting such as masks, insulated garments, etc. Portable
14、fire extinguishers use water, gas, foam or powder as an extinguishing medium. The type of extinguishing media selected will depend on: - - - - whether electrical equipment is being protected; whether the area is confined or open; whether the fire will involve solid materials of an organic nature; wh
15、ether the fire will involve liquids or liquefiable solids. 1.2 Fixed installations These are non-transportable fire-fighting fixtures that are fixed extinguishing installations incorporated into the building and other accessory installations, such as hydrants, water supply networks, water spraying i
16、nstallations, sprinklers, automatic powder or gaseous extinguishers, water hoses, etc. Hydrant systems, hose reels and foam inlets These are non-transportable fire-fighting fixtures which while not responding automatically to a fire should be available at strategic points for use by the fire service
17、. Hydrant systems (wet and dry rising and falling mains) are intended for use by the fire service or other trained personnel and provide a readily available means to deliver considerable quantities of water to extinguish or prevent the spread of fire. Hose reels while delivering smaller quantities o
18、f water are capable of operation by the administrations personnel who are in the vicinity when a fire starts and can be used to tackle a fire in its early stage of development. They provide a continuous and easily controlled water jet and are generally more effective than portable fire extinguishers
19、 and less damaging than larger jets. Foam inlets have a more specialized role for use where quantities of oil are involved. Water sprinkler systems A sprinkler system consists of a water supply and an array of closed outlets or sprinklers mounted on pipework beneath the ceiling of a protected enclos
20、ure. The sprinklers operate at predetermined temperatures with the flow of water through an alarm valve initiating a fire alarm. Only sprinklers in the vicinity of the fire operate. Recommendation L.23 (10/96) 1 STD-ITU-T RECHN L-23-ENGL 299b 4b257L Ob33001 75T m Carbon dioxide systems There is a ce
21、ntral source where the gas is stored under pressure and pipework is provided to carry it to the points of discharge. Systems provide either total flooding or local application. Total flooding systems are used to protect against either surface fires involving flammable liquids, gases and solids or de
22、ep-seated fires involving solids subject to smouldering. Local application systems are used where the hazard does not meet the total flooding enclosure requirements or as an addition to buildings in which sprinkler systems are installed. Carbon dioxide systems can be used for fires on low voltage li
23、ve electrical equipment. Halon gas systems (subject to national legislation) As this gas is electrically non-conductive, it is used on fires involving live electrical apparatus and to protect electronic data processing installations. Powder systems Powders are finely divided chemicals with a control
24、led range of particle size which are used mainly to extinguish fires involving flammable liquids, gases and solids. Powder systems can be used for fires on high voltage live electrical equipment. 2 It is recommended that Fire extinction can involve a number of systems which are mutually supportive a
25、lthough each may be independent of the others. The success of one or more systems may make unnecessary or reduce the need for the others. The systems are: - First-uidjrejghting This involves the use of portable extinguishers, hose reels and fire blankets. - Fixedjre extinguishing systems These invol
26、ve water sprinkler, gaseous or powder systems. - Action by thefire service This involves using their own equipment and/or using non-transportable fire-fighting fixtures, such as hydrants, hose reels and foam inlets. Fire sectors should be established in telecommunication buildings. The buildings sho
27、uld be classified for the fire service according to their complexity. Portable fire extinguishers should be placed in all telecommunication buildings. The type should be appropriate for the fire risk. Fire sectors should be established that can be equipped with fixed extinguishing installations. 2.1
28、 Portable equipment Portable fire extinguishers should be placed in positions that are easily seen and with easy access. They should be protected against solar heat and be kept away from internal sources of heat such as radiators and heating pipes. Portable fire extinguishers, appropriate for the fi
29、re risk, should be evenly distributed on each floor of the building with a maximum travel distance which should be specified. They should be hung on walls or placed on dedicated stands so that their locations are fixed and can be memorized. Each extinguisher should be marked with its capacity and th
30、e type of fire suitable for its extinguisher medium. When a fire sector is equipped with more than one type of extinguisher, these should be distributed evenly and alternatively through the area. Subject to national legislation, the extinguishers should be periodically test-discharged which also pro
31、vides an opportunity for training personnel in their use. 2 Recommendation L.23 (10/96) STD.ITU-T RECMN L.23-ENGL 179b U 4862573 b33002 b9b 2.2 Fixed installations Fixed automatic extinguishing systems should be installed - in unmanned buildings or those where the arrival of the fire service is cons
32、idered too delayed; - on sites of high strategic value to the Administration because of personnel, equipment or documentation content. With the exception of water sprinkler systems, fixed extinguishing systems should be triggered by automatic fire-detection systems. Preferably, the extinguishing age
33、nt is only released when at least two detectors are activated. Access should be prohibited to a compartment if the extinguishing agent is hazardous to personnel and the system is in automatic operation mode. It should be possible to operate the system from outside the compartment (fire sector). Wate
34、r sprinkler systems are operated by the triggering of individual heads detecting a predetermined local rise in temperature. Water hydrants should be placed in areas easily accessible to the fire service and should be clearly marked. Dry rising mains should be installed in buildings up to a specified
35、 height (for example, 60 rn above ground level). Above this height, wet rising mains should be used owing to the pressure necessary to provide adequate water supplies. Water inlets should be placed on the facade of buildings and should be well marked. Outlets for the dry and wet rising mains should
36、be installed in stair wells or in access halls close by (for example, on even-numbered floors). Dry dropping mains are installed in buildings for floors more than a specified depth (for example, 10 m below ground level). Water hose reels should be located in prominent and accessible positions at eac
37、h floor level adjacent to exits in corridors on exit routes. Sufficient hose reels should be provided so that the nozzle of a hose can be taken into every room and with the whole area of each room being covered by the water jet.
