Automatic Fire Extinguishing System for Tunnel Protection with Remote Controlled Monitors "Tudem"
Innovating fire extinguishing system for tunnel fires, for fully automatic intervention or for remote operation from a remote Control Room.
The system is based on the proven technology of fire fighting remote controlled foam/water monitors, worldwide utilized and appreciated for the fire protection in heavy risk plants.
Depending from the length of the tunnel (long tunnels ≥1 km. or short tunnels <1 km.), two different versions of the automatic fire extinguishing system with remote controlled monitors are available.
The 1st version of the system with mobile remote controlled monitors on overhead trailer (TUDEM-CAR) consists in a fixed structure (overhead rail), installed at the ceiling along the tunnel, and in a number of mobile units (trailers) equipped with foam/water monitors moving along the fixed structure.
The 2nd version of the system with remote controlled fixed monitors uniformly spaced along the tunnel (TUDEM-LEGIO) consists of monitors directly installed along the tunnel at regular intervals of 42 m.
The main water (or foam premix) supply pipe pressure is of about 10 bar and the flow rate of the remote controlled monitors is of 1.000 lt./min.
