When the temperature reaches 55°C, the door will shut automatically. And when the temperature increases up to 68°C, the fragile bulb in the sprinklers will melt. Then the pressure in the fire fighting line will be dropped to 100 PSI and the jogging pump will immediately start to pump to maintain the pressure. If the pressure is continuously decreased to 85 PSI, the jogging pump will stop working and the diesel pump will start working instead. It will pump water and foam in the ratio of 97 to 3 to the sprinklers. Electric system in Zone A, B, E, F, G, I and K is explosion proof and in Zone C and D is normal waterproof type.
