Regarding fire sprinkler codes
Thread Content
Dear sea friends, the newly installed unit is equipped with a liquid ammonia evaporation system (with a design capacity of 82.8 kg/h and a maximum capacity of 100 kg/h); the liquid ammonia storage tank has been removed. I recall that a certain fire safety standard specifies that fire sprinkler systems must be installed for highly hazardous materials. However, if the storage volume of high-risk media is within a certain range (I forgot it), it may not be necessary to install one. Dear sea friends, if anyone has any relevant standards for reference, please let me know the standard number GB-XXXXX ； I’ll go check it out. PS: The fire sprinkler system automatically activates to release water mist in order to dilute the ammonia and turn it into ammonium hydroxide once the concentration of ammonia in the area reaches a certain level.
GB 50160-2008 Code for Fire Protection Design of Petrochemical Enterprises
GB50160 provides only a brief description regarding fire sprinklers
Are you looking for this: Code for Design of Automatic Sprinkler Systems GB50084
I’ve also read GB50084; what I’m looking for is to determine whether it’s possible to omit fire sprinklers based on our ammonia storage volume.
