Is an automatic fire alarm system necessary in the liquid chlorine production workshop?

Gentlemen, is it necessary to install an automatic fire alarm system in the liquid chlorine production workshop? Toxic gas detectors have already been installed
I personally think it is necessary, because chlorine is both a dangerous toxic gas and a highly chemically active oxidizing agent that can undergo oxidation reactions with many reducing substances, which is similar to oxygen.
Let’s do it! Although liquid chlorine plants pose a low risk of fire, the facilities containing liquid chlorine are classified as Class B fire-resistant buildings, so such installations are necessary. Severe fires can still pose a threat to the safe production of liquid chlorine.
Look at the design – is it included in the design? If so, it was installed during factory construction; if not, which expert came up with it?
Our unit has them, and we also need to set up cofferdams and accident alkali ponds.
You have mixed up the concepts. The fire alarm system (automatic or manual) and the toxic gas alarm system are two separate systems; they are distinct entities, and **from a regulatory perspective, they are managed by different teams – the fire department and the safety department.** In terms of design, the drawings are also prepared by two specialties: electrical (low-voltage) and instrumentation. The liquid chlorine workshop falls under Category B, and therefore must be equipped with a fire alarm system; if you don’t have one, design and installation are necessary. In the liquid chlorine workshop, there must be a toxic gas alarm system, along with a interlocked exhaust fan.
