2.0 SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

2.0.1 The Hi-fog systems described in this manual are self-contained water mist storage and
distribution system. Detection, control and release facilities provided by others and not covered
within the scope of this manual.

2.0.2 The systems are of twin-fluid, single-pipe type employing water as the suppressant and nitrogen
or air as the atomizing medium.

2.0.3 Each MAU system arrangement is configured using a water and gas (N2) supply to provide the
total suppressant requirement for at least 10 min for the total volume of protection.

2.0.4 The system is activated by remote electric actuation, being supplemented by local manual
release.

LIBRA Project: MAU 150

2.0.5 Please refer to P&ID drawing no. SOM6755361

2.0.6 Hi-fog fire extinguishing system MAU150 for LIBRA Project is designed to meet client’s
requirements to protect the Turbine Enclosures, equipped with Marioff’s spray heads type 4S
1MC 8MB 1100, in SS316.

2.0.7 The system is composed by two MAU battery (Main & Reserve). The battery is composed by
two MAU 150. The MAU 150 protects the GT enclosure. The first of two MAU 150 covers the
initial discharge. It will last for about 10 minutes. The second MAU 150 will be activated after
the first one and it will cover the extension discharge for other 10 minutes. The activation is
pneumatic by the first MAU. As soon as the N2 pressure will drop at 20 bar, the second MAU
will be activated by Delta P Valve. The total discharge time for the GT enclosure will be more
than 20 minutes.

2.0.8 The system MAU skid has two batteries (Main and Stand-By) and every battery it is composed
by 2+2 MAU150. Every battery (Main & Reserve) has 3+3 water cylinders 50 l and 1+1 N2
cylinders, 50l – 200 bar TPED. Every battery has also the damper N2 cylinder for every battery

2.0.9 The MAU units are installed in a cabinet. The cabinet has also instrumentation for the
monitoring of the status of N2 cylinders, water cylinders and activation. These instruments are
general supply in accordance with the client specification.

2.0.10 The actuation of the system (ie. Main Battery) is given by a 24VDC electric signal sent to the
solenoid valve installed on the nitrogen cylinder. When valve is opened by the solenoid a
mixture of gas and water is released into the turbine enclosure through spray heads as fine water
mist. The N2 pressure will also actuate the extended discharge by the Delta P Valve. When the
pressure will drop at about 20 bar, the extended discharge will be actuated. The N2 pressure,
from the solenoid cylinder will activate the damper cylinder by pneumatic actuator.

8.5. Supplementary Information

8.5.1. There follows, in the Appendix section of this manual, a series of individual plates providing
additional data, which may be read in conjunction with the text pages of this manual.

9.0 TROUBLE SHOOTING

9.1 Water cylinder level signal

In case the water cylinders level signal is not off even if the cylinders are full, take care to
eliminate all the air in the top of the cylinder head through the vent. Reduce the water filling
flow rate until the signal is off from the panel. This operation can takes several minutes.

9.2 Water Mist discharge failure

The MAU unit is a very simple apparatus, then if there is a failure during the water mist
discharge the reasons can be:
In Gas Turbine there is only a N2 discharge: this means that the water cylinders are
empty
In Gas Turbine there is no water mist discharge, this means:
1. Section ball valve closed on the main distribution line inside the Hi-Fog cabinet,
or ball valve of the drain/vent lines are open. Check the valves and their status
signal.
2. The cabinet outlet tubing connection is not connected to the GT internal line.
Check the connection on terminal point.
3. The nozzles are blocked. Check the nozzles. Take care to control is the line is
under pressure before to dismantle the nozzles.
4. Solenoid valve failure. Check the solenoid coil.
