  1. Fire Alarm Design Guide Learn how to Design, Install and Test a Fire Alarm System By Joile Group Engineering

  2. Fire alarm system importance • Fire detection systems are to be considered one of the most crucial inventions that were invented by human beings. USA in 2017 • In the united states of America, there was an estimate of $10.7 bn damage in property happened as a consequence of fire, a property loss average of $21,463. (Source: Losses in the United States During 2017 report by NFPA).

  3. Fire accidents statistics USA in 2014: • More than 1.2 million fire accidents happened and reported. • More than 3000 civilian fire death. • More than 11.5 billion$ damage in property. UK in 2013 • There were about 322 deaths from fire. • More than 9000 nonfatal casualties. • There were more than 39000 dwelling fires. (You can find more statistics in Geneva association reports on their website)

  4. Could we avoid all these Fire accidents? The answer is yes and a lot of property damages would be avoided and many lives would be saved if we installed suitable fire alarm systems (that are well designed) and if people were aware of the importance of such alarm systems and they had a good understanding of implementation of fire detection systems.

  5. Fire alarm system design • Once you are aware of the importance of the fire detection systems, then the next step is to determine: what type you are going to implement? • We have two main types of detection systems world wide: 1- Conventional system 2- Addressable system.

  6. Fire alarm system design The conventional alarm system is cheaper than the addressable one. So if your application is a small size application (about 4 areas), you may choose to apply the conventional method as it is cheaper and you don't need to address each individual point of the system.

  7. A deep dive into fire alarm system design • Once you finish choosing the suitable alarm system, now you are going to design it. The design of a fire detection system is to follow the authority having jurisdiction (AHJ) in your country which is described in a national code. The country national code is the basic reference for the alarm designer in the design phase. • The national code states the recommended distance between the detectors, placing of heat and smoke detectors, the recommended testing and inspection steps… etc.). • The well known national codes are: ➢ American code NFPA72 ➢ European code EN 54 ➢ British code BS 5839

  8. Fire alarm design tips You should also consider the choice of detection type relevant to the application. For instance you shouldn't use smoke detection method in the kitchen appliance as there will be a lot of smoke generation. Hence the suitable detection method is the heat detection with ac certain threshold value.

  9. Fire alarm system design guide It is not too late to learn what is a fire alarm system and how to design and evaluate fire alarm systems. • Do you want to know what are the details and secrets of “fire alarm field” ? • Don’t you have time to study and make searches for months or even for years? • Did you get tired from searching and you have no experience in the fire alarm field and want to know how to design and install a fire alarm system? • Are you going to work in a fire alarm systems installation company and you have limited or have no experience in the fire alarm field? You should then learn the steps of:- • What are the fire alarm system components and their theory of operation? • How to design a fire alarm system? • How to install a fire alarm system? • How to test and maintain a fire alarm system?

  10. Who should read this book: • Firefighters. • Fire alarm technicians. • Electrical/mechanical/civil engineers. • Safety specialists. • Construction contractors. • Fire alarm engineers. • Civil defense personnel. • Business owners or anyone want to protect his asset or workplace against fire hazards.

  11. eBook contents:- • What is fire ? and how it is generated (fire triangle)? • What is fire alarm system and how we use fire output to be detected by fire alarm systems? • Fire alarm systemcomponents and parts. • Heat detection parts & methods. • Smoke detection parts & methods. • Flame Detectors. • Fire alarm notification devices. • Conventional fire alarm system. • Addressable fire alarm system. • Comparison between conventional & addressable fire alarm systems.
