Fire extinguishing systems for dump trucks

Abstract

The paper presents a classification of fire extinguishing systems for dump trucks. The principles of fire-extinguishing systems operation are given according to the method of actuation and purpose of applied extinguishing agents. Manufacturers of fire-extinguishing systems for mine dump trucks are marked, and technical characteristics of their systems are represented. As a result of the research, it has been determined that the main direction of development of fire-extinguishing systems is connected with extinguishing of class E fires, because of increase in demand on CW with electromechanical transmission, the most perspective systems of fire-extinguishing are systems with automatic switching, with possibility of manual switching.
