Propane Supply Vaporizer(s) Minimum sized for 150 scfm flow Primary regulator rated for a minimum 60 scfm @ 20 psig Training Fires Fuel Type

Cabin Fire – propane vapor Cabin flashover-propane vapor High Wing – propane vapor Low Wing – propane vapor (two fires with blower including 3D) Low Wing ground pool – 10’X10’ – liquid propane Front Ground Pool Fires-70’X4’-8 zones-liquid propane Safety Systems Interior Safety Mandatory that all gas sensor, heat sensors, and ventilation components will be interchangeable with other fire training systems in use at the Fire Academy. See part list below.** Wireless dead-man device, Safety Pendent Gas detection sensors throughout Heat sensors in burn rooms Emergency shutoff push buttons at every exit Ventilation/extraction system capable of one air change per minute/continuous duty @ 500 degrees F. Operate at purge flow when turned on and during emergency shutdowns, during this time only the propane detection system will be operational. Fan failure will initiate emergency shutdown.

Centralized Computer control system Fire Safety System Mandatory that all Interlocked burner management cards, all valves and detectors will be interchangeable with other fire training systems used at the Fire Academy. See part list below.** Fail safe supply valve to close automatically in the event of electrical failure Fire safety shutoff valve dedicated at each fire, monitored by the interlocked system Interlocked pilot light system monitoring designed to detect and monitor pilot flame Gas pressure monitor at the propane inlet, monitored by the interlocked system Propane detection will be a dual drawn sample detection system.

Monitored by the interlocked system
