The system is a combined detection and extinguishing system. It consists of a stainless steel circular piping with glass bulb detectors/sprayers installed in the rim seal area on the floating roof pontoon.
In case of a fire, heat will cause one or more glass bulb detectors/sprayers to open and the CFI extinguishing gas is released by the detector/sprayer directly into the fire.
The CFI storage container is equipped with a pressure & level switch, which will send an alarm signal to the control panel once the CFI has been released from the container.
