Design of Fire Protection Facilities in Dust-Free Workshops
2024.09.25
In modern industrial production, dust-free workshops play a crucial role. However, due to their special environmental requirements and complex equipment layouts, fire safety issues have become a top priority. Good fire protection facility design can not only protect the safety of people's lives but also minimize property losses and ensure the continuous progress of production.
I、Fire Risks in Dust-Free Workshops
Dust-free workshops usually use a large amount of flammable materials such as plastics, rubber, and electronic components. At the same time, the air purification system, electrical equipment, and various chemicals in the workshop also increase the potential fire risk. In addition, dust-free workshops are relatively closed. Once a fire occurs, the fire is prone to spread rapidly, and smoke and toxic gases are difficult to discharge, bringing great difficulties to personnel evacuation and fire fighting.
II、Basic Principles of Fire Protection Facility Design
- Prevention first
Through reasonable layout, selection of flame-retardant materials, and strengthening of electrical equipment management and other measures, the probability of fire occurrence is reduced from the source.
- Early warning
Install sensitive fire detectors such as smoke detectors and temperature detectors, which can issue alarms in time at the early stage of a fire to gain precious time for personnel evacuation and fire fighting.
- Rapid fire extinguishing
Equip appropriate fire extinguishing equipment such as fire extinguishers, automatic sprinkler systems, and gas fire extinguishing systems to ensure rapid and effective fire extinguishing in case of a fire.
- Personnel evacuation
Design reasonable evacuation channels and safety exits to ensure that personnel can evacuate quickly and safely in case of a fire.
III、Specific Fire Protection Facility Design Measures
- Building structure design
(1) Use building materials with high fire resistance grades such as fire walls, fire doors, and fire shutters to divide the dust-free workshop into different fire zones to prevent the spread of fire.
(2) Ensure that the ventilation system of the workshop can be automatically closed in case of a fire to prevent the fire from spreading through ventilation ducts.
- Fire prevention for electrical equipment
(1) Select electrical equipment that meets fire prevention requirements, such as explosion-proof electrical appliances and flame-retardant cables.
(2) Regularly inspect and maintain electrical equipment to timely discover and eliminate potential fire hazards.
- Fire prevention for air purification systems
(1) Install fire dampers in the air purification system. In case of a fire, the fire damper can be automatically closed to prevent the fire from spreading through the air duct.
(2) Regularly clean and maintain the air purification system to prevent the accumulation of dust and debris from causing a fire.
- Configuration of fire extinguishing equipment
(1) According to factors such as the area of the dust-free workshop and the fire risk level, reasonably configure conventional fire extinguishing equipment such as fire extinguishers and fire hydrants.
(2) For some important equipment and areas, advanced fire extinguishing equipment such as automatic sprinkler systems and gas fire extinguishing systems can be considered for installation.
- Personnel training and drills
(1) Conduct fire safety training for workshop staff to improve their fire prevention awareness and fire extinguishing skills.
(2) Regularly organize fire emergency drills to test and improve the fire protection facility design and improve the emergency response ability of personnel.
IV、Summary
The design of fire protection facilities in dust-free workshops is a systematic project that requires comprehensive consideration of multiple factors such as building structure, electrical equipment, and air purification systems. Only through scientific and reasonable design and strict management can the fire safety of dust-free workshops be ensured and strong support be provided for the production and development of enterprises.
