4 FAQs about Fire extinguishing method for wind-solar complementary equipment in solar container communication stations

Which fire extinguishing system should be installed in a wind turbine?

For the purpose of effective fire protection of wind turbines, automatic, stationary fire extinguishing systems shall be installed. Gas extinguishing systems as well as fine water spray systems are suitable Before the fire extinguishing system is active, the air-conditioning or ventilation system must be switched off automatically.

Which fire extinguishers are used in offshore wind turbines?

Three respondents use automatic gas suppression systems and fire extinguishers in offshore wind turbines. The gas suppression system may use NOVEC 1230 or FM200 Q9. agent. One respondent indicated that a water mist system is a viable and recommended option for the wind turbine enclosure.

What is the fire protection philosophy for wind energy systems?

The fire protection philosophy for wind energy systems requires a heavy focus on fire prevention, automatic fire suppression, and PFP, with minimized reliance on active exterior firefighting operations. A fire protection approach requires automatic suppression and control of small incipient fires rather than fighting a large, fully developed fire.

What is a fire suppression system?

Fire suppression systems are designed to control or extinguish a fire and are characterized as either automatic or manual.
