NAFFCO AUTOMATIC RIM SEAL PROTECTION SYSTEM

March 2020

NAFFCO’s Rim seal Linear Heat Detection and foam based fire protection system for floating roof tanks is specially designed for extremely fast detection and effective suppression of fires till such time the fixed foam pourer system is activated. The extinguishing media is Premix foam solution, which has excellent film formation & cooling properties to prevent re-ignition after suppression.

APPLICATIONS

FLOATING ROOF TANK
TANK FARMS
FUEL FILLING STATIONS

FEATURES

Adjustable detector sensitivity & response behavior at site from, -40°C to +160°C

Pre Alarm configurable for Early Warning & High Reliability

Continuous Detection at high temperatures

Very low operating cost due to unique feature of re-usability of Sensor Tube even after several hydrocarbon fires

Detection system Approved by UL (USA) / VdS (Germany) & UL Approved Foam concentrate

Pre-mixed foam tank capacity 50 -250Litres, Stainless construction for long life & sturdy performance

Ex-proof solenoid valve & Pressure switches provided. Installation possible on hydrocarbon product filled storage tanks since no hot jobs is required on the tank top

The system has provision to send a signal to Rim Seal Fire panel situated in control Room, with Annunciator and Graphic Console so that that operator can get alarmed/Continuous monitoring

SYSTEM FUNCTIONING

The Linear heat Detection system comprising of the Detection Evaluation unit & sensor tube which detects the fire & automatically actuates the foam based extinguishing system and foam rushes into the discharge manifold piping and out on to the rim seal through specially designed foam discharge nozzles.
