Overview

The uninterrupted use of a datacenter or any facility with high-value equipment is always delicate, and in many cases vital, and damage to one of these facilities, such as that caused by a fire, can be catastrophic. In the specific case of data centers, they include equipment that is expensive and sophisticated, that is susceptible to damage, whose replacement can take a long time and that when it does not work, it could cost a lot of money. This is where Clean Agent Extinguishing Systems come in, considered one of the most effective systems in suppressing fires.Every day we see more complex projects with more demanding requirements, which require extensive knowledge of the concepts and standards by engineers and architects for the design of Fire Extinguishing Systems, as well as the field personnel in charge of the installations, tests and maintenance.In this course you will learn the concepts, components and specifications of Clean Agents, design calculations, installation procedures, testing and maintenance of Clean Agent fire suppression systems. It is designed for beginning students as well as professionals with prior knowledge of fire protection systems.The course uses a theoretical/practical methodology so we will be working together on a Datacenter design, where we will have to perform calculations and locate the different components based on what the NFPA 2001 standard dictates. We also include a practical exercise, designed for you to use your knowledge to find the answer. Before working on the design we will focus on reviewing each component of the system, schematic and operation.What will you learn in this course?Concepts:Characteristics of fire and its relationship with clean agentsTypes and characteristics of clean agentsImpact of clean agents on humansScheme of a complete clean agent extinguishing systemOperation of Clean Agent systems and their relationship with fire alarm systemsConcepts about the NFPA 2001 StandardLearn the composition of all the chaptersWe will study the design standardsWe will study the requirements for the installation, testing, inspection, training and maintenance of clean agent extinguishing systems.Design of a Clean Agent Extinction System in a DatacenterMinimum requirements for the design of clean agent extinguishing systemsIsometric developmentPractical calculations to determine the amount of Clean agent requiredCalculation of quantity of material for installationInstallation and testingStep by step to prepare the enclosure for installationInstallation and testing procedure
