A nitrogen injection fire protection system is a safety measure used to protect against fires. It works by injecting nitrogen gas into a room or enclosed space to displace oxygen and create an atmosphere where combustion cannot occur. Nitrogen injection fire protection system (NIFPS) is a type of fire protection system used in power transformers. In this system, nitrogen gas is used to extinguish fires that may occur in the transformer’s oil-filled tank or winding.
During a fire, the nitrogen gas is injected into the transformer’s tank or winding, which displaces the oxygen and thereby prevents the fire from spreading. The NIFPS for the system can be automated and is typically triggered by a fire detection system that alerts the control room to activate the nitrogen injection. NIFPS for Transformer is an effective fire protection system for transformers, as it is non-toxic and non-conductive, and does not cause damage to the transformer or the surrounding equipment. It is commonly used in large power transformers, especially those located in high-risk areas such as chemical plants or oil refineries.
