Gas Fire Suppression Systems
MPDU Systems
CO2 High-pressure
Cylinders and cylinder banks of MPDU series are used in Modular Gas Fire Suppression Systems for fire protection of industrial facilities.
High-quality СО2 according to GOST 8050-85 is used as fire extinguishing agent. СО2 is stored in cylinders under pressure of its own vapors.
Nowadays СО2 (carbon dioxide) is one of the most common gaseous extinguishing agents.
MPDU cylinders as well as MPDU cylinder banks are designed for storing and discharging of CO2 as part of local or flooding fire suppression systems.
The cylinder consists of a container and lock valve. Lock valve is used for keeping agent pressurized in a container and СО2 releasing upon receiving an impulse from the actuator (electric, pneumatic or manual)
Tensometric weighing bed with a controller is used for monitoring СО2 weight. The signal of low СО2 weight goes off if it decreases by 5%.
Two types group of cylinders are manufactured:
- B2-B10 MPDU 150-V-12 – single row;
- 2B2-2B10 MPDU 150-V-12 – double row.
Single row cylinder banks.
Single row cylinder banks include from 2 to 10 cylinders connected to the manifold by means of high-pressure hoses.
Two methods of СО2 release are used:
- Electric impulse is sent to solenoid lock valve of a pilot cylinder. Pressure from the pilot cylinder is transferred to other cylinders to initiate their discharge pneumatically.
- Single row cylinder bank can be discharged manually by turning manual actuator lever of pilot cylinder. Pressure from pilot cylinder is transferred to other cylinders to initiate their discharge pneumatically
Double row cylinder banks.
Double row cylinder banks include two single row banks with the same actuation features described above. GEA from both cylinder banks passes to the collective manifold. It is allowed not to equip one of the banks with a solenoid valve.
Double row cylinder marking has additional digit 2: B2-B10 vs. 2B2-2B10.
Single row cylinder bank may have a check valve installed; in such a case marking will include OK.
Double row cylinder banks always have check valves, so there is no OK in the marking.
Discharge procedure may include:
- Simultaneous release of all cylinders in single row bank;
- Simultaneous release of all cylinders in double row bank with up to 8 cylinders in each row;
- The step-by-step release of all cylinders in double row bank.
Manifolds are equipped with drainage assemblies to prevent unauthorized release.
All cylinders and cylinder banks correspond to Climatic Category 0 of Allocation Class 4 according to GOST 15150 with temperature range from -20 to 550C.
MPDU cylinders and cylinder banks are serviceable restorable products.
