Fire alarm and extinguishing system - ТYSA-8

Система ТИСА-8
description

System purpose

The TISA-8 fire protection system is designed to provide fire protection for passenger coaches

The system is designed to provide early detection of fire outbreaks on rolling stock, to notify the locomotive crew of their locations, to disconnect technological equipment, and to activate fire suppression systems.

System ensures

  1. Reception and processing of electrical signals from fire detectors for detecting fire hazards in protected areas
  2. Continuous monitoring of the integrity of fire loops (detecting open circuits or short circuits) and the integrity (detecting open circuits) of connections to activation units
  3. Continuous monitoring of the operational state of control elements and activation units
  4. Detection of fire sources in protected areas and issuing visual and audible alarms to the driver about their location
  5. Generation of the "Fire" signal when fire detectors in two loops are triggered, as well as issuing a warning when one of the detectors is triggered by activating external alarm systems
  6. Disconnecting electrical equipment and delaying the activation of fire extinguishing substance (FE) for 30 seconds (programmable)
  7. Automatic and manual release of fire extinguishing substance in the protected area
  8. Automatic switching from the main power source to the backup and vice versa
  9. Monitoring of the status of the backup power source and battery charge

Structure

TYSA-8 is built on a modular principle

System components: PPKP-3, IRP-3, Smoke detectors, fire extinguishers

Main system units
01.

PPKP-3

Fire alarm control panel

Designed to display information about the system status, issue audible alarms, and control the fire extinguishing system

02.

IRP-3

Backup power supply

Designed to power the PPCP in the absence of the main power supply. The transition to power from the backup power supply and vice versa occurs automatically

03.

Detectors

Smoke fire detector

Measures the concentration of smoke in a room and triggers when a specific level of smoke density is reached in the chamber inside the detector. Sensitivity (trigger threshold) of the smoke channel: 0.1-0.2 dB/m. Nominal activation temperature of the heat channel: 55-70°C

04.

Fire extinguishers

Fire extinguishing aerosol generator

The aerosol mixture is based on a common substance — potassium carbonate K₂CO₃ (potash) — which produces a flow of mixed gases and solid particles. Extinguishing occurs due to the interruption of chain reactions at the center of the fire
