Each burner is to be provided with a dedicated fuel supply and control line in accordance with BS EN 746. The flame height and spread is to be controlled by a fully modulating control valve integral to the fuel management system. The burner is to be so configured that the flame height and heat release are fixed. Thereafter, the flame growth and decay is determined by the position of fuel control valve, which can be controlled remotely. Additionally, the growth decay and intensity should be controlled to suit a particular training scenario to enable introduce raw trainees to less intense version of a particular fire. These parameters can be selected from the fire place control panel or remotely from control room. The fuel system should confirm to BS EN 746-2 safety standards and IEC 61508 for functional safety of electric/ electronics/ programmable related systems.

Flame Extinguishing Control

21. Two methods, manual and automatic for controlling the flame extinguishing should be provided in the system. The fires will react in accordance with how the trainee applies the extinguishing media.

22. Using the manual method, the strength of the flames will be capable of being controlled by the instructor using the hand held remote control/ local panel. The

19 flames are deactivated based on the visual assessment and judgment of the instructor and initiated by him/her if it is deemed that the extinguishing agent has been applied correctly.

23. Using the automatic method, the flames will die down and be deactivated by the control system only if the trainee has applied the extinguishing agent for the correct period of time and, in some fire points, if the temperature has descended below preset values.

24. Burner Emissions. The fire simulator burner should not lead to unacceptable levels of sulphur oxides, benzene and particulates. The emission from the FF Simulator is required to be adequately treated for NOx and SOx to ensure that the permissible levels of pollution are not exceeded.
