PERSPECTIVE OF USE OF GAS-EXTINGUISHING PLANT ON THE BASE OF CARBON DIOXIDE FOR FIRE EXTINGUISHING ON ELECTROENERGETICS FACILITIES

Present article shows that use of gas-extinguishing plants (GEP) with carbon dioxide (CO2) as gas extinguishing agent is most perspective for fire protection of electroenergetics facilities. Problems of use of GEP on the base of MIZhU for fire protection of electroenergetics facilities are touched, particularly, for power facilities' safety on open space. It is shown that discharging time of carbon dioxide, calculated with existing hydraulic calculation method, differs from natural tests' results. Based on experimental data, it is determined that effectiveness of local by volume fire extinguishing method mostly depends on computational accuracy of discharging time of carbon dioxide. Accentuated declarative type of lag's conception for gas-extinguishing plant. Proposal to amend regulations, concerning conception “lag” with regard to gas extinguishing plant, are stated.
