Jim Mickowski, an engineer with PSJ Engineering, has more than 25 years of experience in the design and installation of fire suppression systems. His experience ranges from working on stadiums, museums and office buildings to high-security, high-risk areas in correctional facilities and nuclear facilities where there is “no access allowed.”
As one of Seattle’s largest school campuses, Chief Sealth and its co-located facility Denny International Middle School are undergoing a complete renovation and rebuild.
Inmates will abuse any building component within reach. So how do you design a system to detect and protect while keeping it safe, too?
Looking for product information, training, or design tools for your emergency communications or mass notification system (MNS) project? The new System Sensor ECS landing page collects all this information and more on a single page.
The System Sensor 5600 Series of mechanical heat detectors come in a variety of configurations to meet your application needs.
Cut costs, speed installation, and improve aesthetics on emergency communications applications that require fire and emergency warnings by combining the functions of two to three devices on a single mounting plate and back box.
A conventional, 2-wire device, the 5151 is a combination fixed and rate-of-rise thermal detector designed to provide open-area protection with 50-foot spacing capability as approved by UL 521.
If you develop systems for extreme environments, such as a refrigeration plant or a chemical processing facility, this issue is for you.
If you don’t, this issue is still for you.
Environments with high airflow or excessive temperatures, such as freezer or cold-storage warehouses, require robust and flexible fire protection solutions. These extreme environments present unique fire detection and suppression challenges that do not follow standard fire and life safety design. For example, while extremely cold, these warehouses can have such dry atmospheres that fire can spread faster than normal. As a result, each scenario needs to be evaluated to provide the necessary protection. Because there is no one-size-fits-all fire and life safety solution, familiarity with all technologies associated with fire detection, notification and suppression are important for designing a dependable and suitable system.
