If the predictions do not meet the system requirements. This increase in rigor results in longer calculation times. then the system is properly designed. Isometric Drawing and Pipe Network screens under the Inputs menu. The calculation routine can be initiated when all the data necessary to describe the system has been input via the interface. adjustments to nozzle orifice areas or the pipe network) and the calculation routine run again.Overview The Kidde ECS Series software contains a sophisticated calculation routine for predicting the two-phase. The software is also interfaced with (and dependent upon) the hardware-specific data that must be included in the design of a system. The Windows™-based interface provides a convenient. All the required information must be entered before a calculation can be run. the program will calculate about 50 steps. which will vary depending on the characteristics of the pipe network. energy and momentum in the pipe network. Information from the drawing is automatically transferred to the Pipe Network table. This routine calculates the flow in quasi-steady state steps from the initiation of the discharge to final gas blow down. The calculation routine is based on the conservation of mass. 2004 5 . The calculation routine is initiated from the data entered in the Enclosure Information. two-component flow of agent and nitrogen through a pipe network system. Nozzle orifice areas may be either manually entered or estimated by the calculation routine to complete the layout of the system. Designing a system begins by entering information to calculate the quantity of agent required to be delivered into each enclosure. The calculation routine is then run and a comparison of the system requirements to the predicted system performance is made. This procedure is repeated until the system meets the requirements and error messages are resolved. This is a significantly more rigorous treatment than the traditional "Halon 12A" method which bases the calculation on a single "average" step for the entire discharge. If the predictions meet the system requirements and no error messages are present. The Isometric Entry screen allows the user to "draw" a sketch of the system. An agent source (containers) and pipe network is then entered to deliver this agent. then changes must be made to the system (for instance. fast and user-friendly method for entering the system. 90-FM200M-110 February.

The Name field allows you to enter a brief description of the enclosure to make identification easier. a system is considered calculated when at least 95% of the agent required using the adjusted design concentration reaches each enclosure. When using the nozzle selection option.Enclosure Information Enclosure Information screens are used to calculate the amount of agent required to protect each enclosure and to set the distribution amount between the nozzles in the enclosure (if more than one nozzle is present). which must be greater than or equal to the minimum design concentration. Enclosure Number/Name Each enclosure will be numbered sequentially. Each time any of the inputs on the Enclosure Information screen is changed. Each enclosure will require at least one nozzle to provide agent. This information is used along with the enclosure dimensions entered in the lower section of the window to calculate the amount of agent to be delivered to each enclosure. It is necessary that. 2004 .130°F (0°C . some a bit less. using a calculation method which is outlined in NFPA 2001. By using an adjusted design concentration that is higher than 14 90-FM200M-110 February. Use of an Adjusted Design Concentration greater than the minimum required value may be warranted for a particular system. The maximum temperature is used to calculate the maximum concentration possible for the enclosure. Enclosure Temperature The temperatures entered for the enclosure should be the lowest and highest temperatures expected for the enclosure. The quantity of agent required from the nozzle will be determined by the information entered in the Enclosure Information screens. Design Concentrations The Minimum Design Concentration is the concentration used by the program as a check to insure that the proper quantity of agent has been delivered to an enclosure. This quantity of agent must flow through the pipe network and out of the nozzle to satisfy the system requirements. for each system design. The software will complete its calculations based on the adjusted design concentration. the displayed amount of agent required in the given enclosure and total amount of agent for all enclosures will be updated. it may be very difficult to design the system to deliver 100% of the desired agent to each enclosure. The allowable temperature range is 32°F . Some enclosures may receive a bit more agent than designed. the minimum design concentration be achieved in each protected enclosure. Depending on the degree of system imbalance.54°C). "Standard on Clean Agent Fire Extinguishing Systems". it will be insured that the minimum design concentration is met for all enclosures. see the Kidde design manual: FM-200 ECS Series Engineered Fire Suppression Systems: Design. Each enclosure will require at least one nozzle to provide agent. The non-permeable volume in the enclosure can also be entered (the default is zero). E1-N1 above refers to the first nozzle (N1) in the first enclosure (E1). For detailed design information including (but not limited to) area coverage per nozzle. height. the total must add up to the total quantity required for the enclosure. ignoring the specification of individual dimensions. However. This will be subtracted from the enclosure volume for the calculation of the amount of agent required. based on the area and layout of the enclosure. This can be overridden by manually entering the quantity desired for each nozzle. Installation.the minimum design concentration. 90-FM200M-110 February. You can also directly input the volume. with the program calculating the volume. The Auto button will distribute the agent evenly between the nozzles. and height limitations. For instance. and Maintenance Manual (P/N 90-FM200M-000) Nozzle Table This screen allows you to adjust the amount of agent flowing to each nozzle. You must determine the number of nozzles required. Enclosure Dimension (fields) These fields allow you to input the width. The code consists of the enclosure number and the nozzle within that enclosure. Operation. 2004 15 . Each nozzle is given a unique code. and length of the enclosure. Number of Nozzles (field) The number of nozzles required in the room (the default is "1"). Adjust Agent Required This screen allows you to adjust the agent quantities and/or the concentration. In general, you simply point to either an agent amount or a concentration and change it. When you move to a new field the other numbers are adjusted. If you adjust the total agent quantity, the software disperses the increase or decrease across the enclosures and the nozzles. The software will compute the current agent distribution ratio for an enclosure by dividing the amount for each enclosure by the total agent amount. This percentage is then multiplied by the overall change. That amount is then added or subtracted from the enclosure. A similar process is used by the nozzles, except that it is based on the total amount for the enclosure. You cannot adjust the Volume or the Minimum Temperature from this screen. If you need to adjust these fields, you must do so from the Enclosure screens. Perhaps the best way to use this screen is to just try it. Try adjusting the numbers you wish to adjust and then observe the effect on the other numbers. If the change was not what you wanted, simply press the "Reset" button to get back to where you started. When you have finished, press the "OK" button to save your changes or the "Cancel" button to abandon them. New Agent Amount The total container fill must be in increments of whole pounds (half Kg for metric systems) or the software will not calculate. Similarly, when designing systems with more than one container, the agent amount divided by the number of containers must also be a whole number. Use this field to adjust the agent amount when necessary. The total agent amount must be rounded up to the next highest unit (in this case, pounds). You can change the concentration, total quantity, or quantity to each nozzle. The individual nozzle method is useful for systems with multiple enclosures where the initial predictions result in an insufficient concentration in one enclosure. If you added agent to the total quantity, the default would be to distribute this agent between all nozzles. The result is that you add agent to enclosures that don't need it. The more efficient use of the additional gas is to add it directly to the problem enclosure by increasing the requirements for the nozzles in that enclosure. 16 90-FM200M-110 February, 2004 Set to New Will reset the Original Agent Amount to reflect any change to the New Agent Amount field. Show Nozzles Changes how the Nozzle Information section is displayed. You may switch between viewing only the nozzles defined for this enclosure, or all nozzles defined for the project. Elevation The elevation above (or below) sea level is used to look up the Atmospheric Correction Factor. Atmospheric Correction Factor The correction factor adjusts the amount of agent required based on the elevation. Reset Returns all data on this screen to its original settings. Agent Source This screen is used to enter the Agent Source information. Normally, the first thing to do is to select a container for the system by clicking the Container Select button. Auto Select Automatically selects the smallest container for the required quantity of agent. If you make changes to Agent Quantity, you will have to click button again.

The calc cannot pick pipes only. particularly small systems. 32 90-FM200M-110 February. All segments with other objects in them must be locked. Pipe Locking The calc routine includes a pipe picking routine that accounts for pressure drop. lock the pipe and then re-run the calc letting the calc pick nozzles. The pipe diameters entered by using this button may be changed by clicking in the desired cell and selecting a new number from the pull-down list. the smaller size is selected. Duplicate Pipe Diameters Will copy the pipe diameter from the active cell down the column until it hits a tee or nozzle. This routine can be bypassed by locking the pipes. a good thing to try is to default diameters in the interface. The calc can pick: y nozzles only (all pipes locked) and y nozzles and some (or all) of the pipes. If two pipe diameters are capable of handling a flow rate. 2004 . the calc pipe picking may not pick pipes that result in a passing system. This is done by clicking on the default diameter button or by manually entering diameters in the table. If this happens. These diameters are determined based on the flow rate of agent required through a given size pipe. Default Pipe Diameters The software will select the appropriate pipe diameter for each segment. Regardless of whether the calc picks the pipes or not. each segment is required to have a diameter. The flow criteria used to select the diameters are shown in the corresponding Pipe Type table in the Tables menu. Segments that you do not want changed must be locked prior to running the calc. etc. Unlike the PreCalc and Main calculation routines. 2004 33 .
