solenoids located in the CO2 fire suppression cylinder cabinets, Figure 22. On receipt of this signal, the solenoid actuated control heads activate the CO2 cylinders, releasing CO2 into the enclosure. CO2 pressure actuates the pressure trip operated dampers that close all vent openings. CO2 release control heads are also provided with manual release levers.

12.3.8Water Mist Fire Suppression System

The enclosure can be equipped with a water mist (fine water spray) fire suppression system consisting of a high-pressure distribution system to provide approximately 10 minutes continuous water discharge. The typical water mist fire suppression cylinder cabinet, Figure 23, consists of two high-pressure nitrogen cylinders used as a propellant and five water bottles.

On detection of a fire by the optional fire and gas detection system, the fire control panel activates the fire suppression system release solenoids located on the water mist suppression skid. On receipt of this signal, the solenoid actuated control heads activate the discharge valves on the water cylinders, releasing a water mist into the enclosure. A pressure switch in the water mist discharge piping transmits an electrical signal to the fire control panel to activate a release solenoid to close pressure-operated dampers on all vent openings. The water mist nitrogen actuator valve is also provided with a manual release lever.

12.3.9Fire Cylinder Cabinets

When installed outdoors, weatherproof fire cylinder cabinets are available to house the extinguishing agent. The cabinets are equipped with service doors. The manual pull levers are routed by cable to the exterior wall of the cabinet.
