Laboratory Fire Suppression Systems

Laboratory Fire Suppression

For those working in laboratories, fume cupboards provide critical protection from vapours, gases and aerosols. Acting like a type of exhaust ventilation system, fume hoods control exposure to chemicals such as hazardous gases, dust and mists, helping protect workers from dangers relating to inhalation.

Working with hazardous materials and volatile chemicals presents serious challenges, the airflow that provides protection from the risk of fume inhalation also contributes to the risk of fire. Ignition sources such as hot plates, Bunsen burners and the inherent volatility of many chemicals found in a laboratory can easily result in a fire incident.

If a fire breaks out in a fume hood, the flames and heat will follow the airflow pattern through the cabinet. If a sprinkler system is installed with a heat sensor mounted above the fume hood, the design of the flow of air through the cabinet will likely mean that the temperature required to activate the system may never reach and, therefore, trigger the detection device.
