Aperture is introducing new touch screen controllers for cooling tower and boiler systems that can monitor two tanks with high and low alarms. The controllers have an enlarged touch screen display for viewing system status and controls.
The document discusses four main types of sprinkler systems according to NFPA 13:
1. Wet-pipe systems have water in the pipes at all times.
2. Dry-pipe systems use compressed air or nitrogen to hold back water until a sprinkler head opens.
3. Deluge systems have all sprinkler heads open so water flows out of all heads at once upon detection of a fire.
4. Preaction systems have closed sprinkler heads and require detection of a fire before water enters the pipes, to protect sensitive areas from water damage.
The document describes different types of fire protection systems in a building:
1) A sprinkler system with 4 zones and an alarm valve station.
2) A standpipe system with Class III hose stations for occupants and the fire department.
3) A pre-action system for the electrical substation with smoke detectors, a manual pull station, and components like a deluge valve and air compressor.
Fighting Fires in Sprinklered BuildingsAaron Johnson
This is class to orient and educate firefighters on the proper response and actions to be taken when responding to fires at buildings equipped with fire sprinkler and standpipe systems. This course is based on the recommendations of NFPA 13E, "Recommended Practice for Fire Department Operations in Properties Protected by Sprinkler and Standpipe Systems", and local fire department protocols.
The document summarizes the inspection and testing requirements for various fire protection systems including sprinkler systems, water spray systems, and clean agent systems. It outlines the components, design considerations, and specific tests to be performed for each type of system such as hydrostatic tests, air tests for preaction sprinklers, and discharge tests for clean agent systems. Maintenance of accurate as-built drawings, calculations sheets, and operating manuals is also emphasized.
This document outlines an agenda for a course on fire alarm systems. It discusses initiating devices and protected premises fire alarm systems. The document reviews NFPA 72 chapter 17 which covers performance, selection, use and location of detectors. It provides requirements for smoke and heat detectors including total coverage, partial coverage, and non-required coverage. General requirements are also outlined such as not installing devices in inaccessible areas and supporting them independently of their circuit.
This document discusses various types of initiating devices as defined in NFPA 72 Chapter 17 including: manually actuated alarm initiating devices (17.14), fire extinguisher monitoring devices (17.15), and supervisory signal initiating devices (17.16). Supervisory signal initiating devices provide signals for conditions involving control valves, pressure, water levels, temperatures of water storage containers, and room temperatures. Specific requirements are defined for the different device types and conditions they monitor.
The document summarizes key sections from NFPA 72 regarding fire alarm systems. It outlines chapters that cover fundamentals, circuits, inspection/testing, initiating devices, and notification devices. For chapter 10 on fundamentals, it provides details on signal priority, distinctive signals for different alarm types, equipment performance requirements, annunciation zoning, integrity monitoring of components, and documentation requirements. Installation and equipment must comply with NFPA 70 and 72 standards unless otherwise indicated.

Watch 72nd lotos rally poland (wrc) live telecastdale_deyn
The document provides information about watching the 72nd LOTOS Rally Poland in 2015. It gives the year 2015 and a website, www.onlinewrc.net, where one can view the rally live online. The rally took place in Poland.
The document summarizes a workshop on the pleasure of motor play and developing given at the University of Applied Sciences Koblenz. The workshop was led by Gil Pla, PhD, a lecturer from the University of Vic in Barcelona. The workshop consisted of three parts: 1) discussing types of motor play seen in a video, 2) discussing the importance of affectivity and intervention during play, and 3) closing discussions and feedback. The workshop emphasized allowing children freedom during play while also providing structure, safety, and respect for developing all domains of being.
Working document for informal trialogue 04/04/2012Polyurethanes4U
The document discusses a proposal for a directive on energy efficiency in the European Union. It presents the Commission's proposal, amendments from the European Parliament's Industry, Research and Energy Committee, preliminary positions from the Council of the European Union, and preliminary views on the Parliament's amendments. The directive aims to address challenges from energy imports and climate change by improving energy efficiency, reducing consumption and emissions, and spurring innovation. It seeks to achieve the EU's goal of reducing primary energy use by 20% by 2020 compared to projections.
May 2014 - Is time running out for the minimum wage policy?FGV Brazil
Economists analyze proposals for revising minimum wage policy in 2015 and ask, Should it be based on productivity?
The Brazilian Economy is one of the oldest publications for expert economic analysis of both the Brazilian and international economies.
