Diseño y simulación de un sistema contra incendios para la industria de fabricación de cortinas en la empresa Doopler. Cia Ltda. en la ciudad de Quito mediante software especializado

Abstract

Nowadays, fire protection systems are necessary to reach industrial safety standards. The design of a system itself considers the description and explanation of the instrumentation elements, these are explained by means of drawings and simulations, in addition to compliance with NFPA (National Fire Protection Association) standards. It is necessary to install a fire protection system for the protection of fixed and human assets in a company that handles industrial processes, due to sometimes accidents cannot be easily anticipated, that is the need to have effective measures to cover an emergency. The objective of this project is to provide a fire-fighting system to the company "DOOPLER CIA LTDA" that perform its operations in the industrial sector of the city of Quito, to meet this objective, an analysis of the storage area of the plant has to be conducted, which currently has a water pump that does not meet the power and supply needs from the cistern for the system. To solve this inconvenience, an instrumentation design is developed using the qualitative research method with the study of the NFPA standards for these systems, as well as the calculation of the hydraulic parameters using certain considerations of fluid mechanics for later design of an assembly drawing. This makes it possible to justify the need to change a pump with greater power to cover the pressures and flows of each point simulated in the Pipe Flow Expert software.
