Chemicals

As a consequence of the banning of halon gases (such as Halon 1301) for being greenhouse gases as well as participating in the depletion of the ozone layer, a new generation of agents, eco-friendlier, have been developed maintaining the excellent fire suppression properties of Halon without the environmental problems.

DESCRIPTION:

Characteristics

• High weight efficiency, minimal number of agent cylinders.
• Environmentally acceptable and in line with the Montreal and Kyoto Protocol requirements by having 0 ODP and low greenhouse effect potential.
• Safe for humans, since they are non-toxic.
• No residues upon discharge.

Fire suppression mechanism

With only 10s of discharge, the agents are removing sufficient heat from the fire and interrupting the combustion chain reaction, extinguishing it completely.

Methods of application

Chemical agents must be discharged in adequately sealed rooms to ensure reaching the necessary extinguishing concentrations determined by the International Standards. Therefore, these agents can only be applied in total flooding applications.

Hazards
Ideally used in situations where water from fire sprinkler would damage expensive equipment or where water-based fire protection is impractical, such as museums, banks, clean rooms, IT rooms and hospitals.

These are the cases where the hazards needed to be protected are enclosed in small volumes/ voids, making the use of normal fixed fire suppression systems complicated and inadequate.

For this reason, we had decided to develop a specific system for these particular applications guaranteeing ease of design, installation and maintenance and, of course, appropriate extinguishing capabilities.

Applications:

These systems have the advantage to attack the fire by total flooding discharge but acting directly at the fire source. Most common applications are electrical cabinets, telecommunication racks, control panels, CNC machines to name a few.
