This course provides a detailed study of various fire suppression systems, including sprinkler systems, gas suppression systems, and foam suppression systems. Starting with the design and components of sprinkler systems, the course covers types, water supply requirements, and spatial considerations. It then explores gas suppression systems, focusing on regulatory codes, suppression agents, and clean agents. The course concludes with foam suppression systems, examining their history, working principles, and key components. By the end of the course, students will be proficient in the design and implementation of different fire suppression systems, enhancing their ability to safeguard various environments.
