Abstract

With the development of more complex industrial operations and processes and with the advancement in technology i.e. Generators, turbines, servers, electrical panels etc., there is a need to develop a more efficient and reliable firefighting system for early detection and suppression of fire without harming the equipment, environment as well as humans if involved. Gaseous flooding system provides a reliable and effective fire detection and fire extinguishing system in an enclosure. With the development of new and improved extinguishing agents, the system is now safe for equipment, environment and humans. Like two sides of a coin, gaseous flooding system has its own disadvantages and limitations, major disadvantage is its high cost. So there is a need to develop a system which is more reliable, efficient but also cost effective. The result is total internal flooding system which can protect electrical stations and substations, turbine and generator rooms and server rooms more effectively than any other fixed fire extinguishing system. Total internal flooding system is a new innovation in the field of fixed fire extinguishing system. With more research and development, the system can be developed further and can be used in control rooms and their technical areas in an industry.
