冷卻塔的消防設備設計探討

冷卻塔在運轉中始終保有循環水不斷流過其塔體。因此，人們普遍誤以為冷卻塔可以避免燃燒。但實際上，冷卻塔有些零組件是由可燃材料所製成的，如聚氯乙烯（PVC）、聚乙烯（PE）、聚丙烯（PP）、丙烯腈丁二烯苯乙烯（ABS）、木材和玻璃纖維強化塑料（FRP）等材料，當它們接觸到火源時，還是可能引發火災的。本文詳細介紹了一種可靠的冷卻塔消防系統以供參考，它符合NFPA 214消防標準，能夠有效預防或撲滅冷卻塔火災。

A cooling tower keeps continuous recirculating water flow through itself all the time during operation. Therefore, there is a common misconception that the cooling tower can avoid combustion. But in fact, some of cooling tower components are made of combustible materials, such as polychloride Vinyl (PVC), polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), wood, fiberglass reinforced plastic (FRP), and so forth, which might catch fire when exposed to the ignition sources. This article elaborates on a reliable cooling tower fire protection system for reference, which complies with the NFPA 214 fire protection standard and can prevent or extinguish cooling tower fire efficiently.
