Prerequisites for planning the pipe system
In order for a pipe system to be successfully planned, the following requirements
must first be met:
The planner must be familiar with the local fire protection regulations and
guidelines.
A floor plan of the building in which the pipe system is to be installed must be
available. The following aspects (in particular) must be visible from the floor
plan:
– Fixtures
– Installed lighting
– Electrical installations
– Gas and water lines
There must be information available concerning the intended use of the area
being monitored, particularly in relation to the fire loads that are present there.
The planner must know how to use the 'FXS2056 ASD Asyst Tool V2' software.
The planner must know how many fire compartments there are in the building
concerned and how these compartments are distributed. If compartments are
redistributed, the local regulations and guidelines must be observed during this
process.
The planner must be aware of ambient conditions such as temperature and air
humidity.
The planner must be aware of how the air moves in the monitored area (natural
air currents and ventilation with air conditioning units).
To be able to secure the pipe system, the planner must know what material the
building is made from, e.g., concrete, timber, bricks.
The planner must be aware of the ambient conditions (e.g., whether the
environment is clean or dusty) or other external influences.
The preferred use of the aspirating smoke detector must be defined (e.g.
whether it is to be used for room protection or equipment protection). See also
'Room protection [
Please also watch out for pressure differences >45 Pa! If the aspirating smoke
detector is installed outside the monitored area, it may be necessary to route the
aspirated air back into the monitored area using a return line.
