 | | | FIRE PROTECTION OF WIND TURBINES
It is very difficult to protect wind turbines against a fire. This is mainly because their height and remote locations make them difficult to reach, and the fire brigade often has to stay on the ground to secure the area. For the reason of protecting the wind turbine against fires, Danfoss Semco has developed a high pressure water mist system to cover the entire wind turbine. Normally, the whole nacelle of the turbine will be covered with water mist. Depending on the type of turbine, the tower can also be protected against any combustible material that may have been placed in it. In both cases, the wind turbine will be safely and fully protected.
SEM-SAFE SYSTEM
The water consumption of the Sem-Safe water mist system is very low, and requires only small pipe dimensions. This leads to a weight reduction and also allows installation in samller places. The pump unit is compact, allowing the Sem-Safe system to be fully integrated in the nacelle. Because the Sem-Safe water mist system is frost proof, it will work in any weather conditions. Also, it is not a “one-shot” system: as long as water and electricity are available, the system will work. The system is specified in accordance with the FM standard for turbine enclosure and has been adapted for wind turbines.
