Abstract

1297039 Fire fighting system for warehouses EATON CORP 31 July 1970 [22 Aug 1969] 37130/70 Heading ASA A fire protection system for a warehouse comprises a movable high-expansion foam generator 34, fire sensing means 36, central control means 16 for receiving a signal from the sensing means, means controlled by 16 for moving foam generator 34 to the fire location in response to a signal from sensor 36, for example one or more stacker cranes 14, and means responsive to a signal from 16 for actuating generator 34 at the fire location. The system further includes a fixed highexpansion foam generator 44 in the warehouse roof to provide overall foam cover if movable generator 34 fails to extinguish the fire in a predetermined time. Automated warehouse 10 with high-rise storage facilities 12 untilises stacker cranes 14 under the control of central computer 16 for movement of goods. Crane 14 comprises body 30 and movable lift platform 28, powered by motor 31 under the control of its own computer unit 24 in communication with control 16. Mounted on crane 14 is foam generator 34. e.g. of expansion ratio 1000:1, and electrical control unit 54, which is operable on a signal from control 16 to initiate pumping of water and foam concentrate to nozzles 52. Fire sensors 36, which may be heat-responsive, are mounted throughout racks 12 and connected to central control 16. Further heat sensors 38 are mounted on lift platform 28 of cranes 14 and connected to control unit 24 to enable cranes 14 to "home in" on the seat of a fire. Flexible conduit 40 serves to direct foam to the precise fire location. If sensors 36 continue' to detect fire after a predetermined time, secondary foam generator 44, of higher capacity, is called into operation to inundate the entire warehouse. Cranes 14 are also provided with CO 2 fire fighting systems 22 connected to fire sensors 26 disposed throughout the internal mechanism of the crane. If the system is energised by a fire in the crane, the crane ceases operation and is directed to a repair checkpoint.
