Program Description

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.

Course Objectives

  • Understand the types, design methods, water supply requirements, and spatial considerations of sprinkler systems, along with debunking common myths
  • Learn about the development, regulatory codes, types, and components of gas suppression systems, including the design criteria for various suppression agents.
  • Gain knowledge of the types of gas-based fire suppression systems, focusing on clean agents such as inert gases and their respective systems.
  • Study the invention, working principles, types, and key components of foam suppression systems, including foam concentrates and relevant pipes and fittings.
