Impulse Storm-A(S) technology Wind Turbine Developers often claim that their technology is safe, and whenever there has been a wind turbine fire, or other form of serious accident, the developer is often quick to state that this is a rare occurrence. Fire is the second most common accident cause in incidents found. Fire can arise from a number of sources – and some turbine types seem more prone to fire than others. A total more than 185 fire incidents were found. There is a world problem but there is no decision? We found the reliable and effective decision!

    1.Water Fog with heavy, difficult and expensive equipment.

    2. Foam Fog with very heavy, very difficult and expensive equipment.

  • IMPULSE STORM-A

    WATER\FOAM FOG SYSTEM FOR BIG WIND TURBINE

  • Other Firefighting System for Wind Turbine have:

    1. Water or foam premix stored under high pressure in the pressure vessel, not less 16 bar.

    2. Big size pressure vessel up to 120 m3 or more. 3. Difficult design and expensive service. 4. Impossibility of fast recharge - up to one or two months. 5. Big time delay between the breakout the fire and the actuation of the

    system. 6. Need of use only of one type of foam. 7. High price full complete equipment and service.

  • The main advantages over any other system of fire extinguishing and cooling:

    1. Very low sluggishness - less than a second from the fire detection up to the beginning of maximum stage of fire extinguishing.

    2. Very little time before complete extinguishing - just a few seconds. During this timeframe fire is unable to warm up the transformer oil (or any other liquid) and metal structures, which excludes the spread of fire and re-ignition.

    3. The lack of any external pressure source, pump stations, external piping or external water tanks.

    4. Absence of any pressure in the system in a Standby mode. 5. Low pressure in the system during fire extinguishing (not more than 15

    bars). 6. The absence of any external and internal sources of electrical power.

    The system is fully autonomous for at least 10 years (the term of more than 10 years has not been tested).

    7. The ability to use water of any quality in a single system (e.g. sea water, water from the swamp or dirty pond). The presence of sand and extraneous elements in the water with dimensions less than 8 mm does not affect the quality of the spray.

    8. The possibility to use neutral gas, water, powder, foam or a mixture of these four components in one system.

    The Impulse Storm-A (S) systems should exclude:

    1. Having a separate large water tank. Having a

    three years. T

    least 10 years.
