What type of fire extinguisher could be a better wind turbine fire suppression system? The answer, of course, is the aerosol fire extinguisher. Please listen to our detailed explanation for you.
The wind turbines, nacelle is a large enclosed space and is a compartment used to accommodate and protect the main shaft, gearbox, generator, and other transmission systems of wind turbines, as well as other electrical equipment.
The various electrical equipment and precision components in the wind turbine cabin are high-tech and expensive.
Moreover, wind farms are generally located in harsh environments such as grasslands, mountains, or oceans, and wind turbine cabins are usually unmanned.
So if a fire occurs in the wind turbine nacelle due to overheating or other reasons, the consequences are devastating.
Fixed aerosol fire extinguishers can be well installed in wind turbine cabins for the following reasons:
- There are many electronic components in the wind turbine cabin, and there is not much-remaining space. It is required that the installed fire extinguishers be of small size, and the aerosol fire extinguisher is a small dimension product.
- The extinguishing efficiency of an aerosol generator is extremely high, and a 3000-gram aerosol agent can almost cover the entire cabin space.
- Aerosol fire extinguishers are environmentally friendly and will not damage the precision instruments and high-value equipment in the wind turbine room after spraying.
