The article provides an overview of robotic fire extinguishing systems, analyzes the principles of operation of modern vision systems, and provides their advantages and disadvantages.
The problematic issues of the organization of fire extinguishing process in the engine rooms of nuclear power plants are considered. The need of prompt response to the occurrence of combustion source at the initial stage is substantiated. With the existing methods of ensuring fire safety, it is not always possible to achieve this goal.
Offshore platforms for oil and gas production are complicated technological systems, the successful operation of which largely depends on the provision of their fire safety. A fire hazard with serious consequences determines high requirements to the fire protection equipment, which can be fulfilled using robotic fire suppression systems.
Federal Law of June 25, 2002 No. 73-ФЗ “On Objects of Cultural Heritage (Historical and Cultural Monuments) of the Peoples of the Russian Federation” defines a system of measures to preserve objects of cultural heritage. But there are no special fire safety standards for such facilities. At the same time, the cost of the most expensive fire protection systems is disproportionately low with the possible loss of historical heritage.
