Direct application means that the activation and distribution of the agent is provided by the detection tube only.
The indirect system is suitable for larger environments or where specific application of the agent is required. This system also enables various modifications by adding optional components such as manual actuation, detectors, control panels for enhanced operation and control of the system, which provide the ability to release larger volumes of extinguishing agent which may be stored in separate cylinders.
The system operation is based on a pneumatic detection tubing technology which is sensitive to high temperatures. The detection tube is the “heart” of each BlazeCut “C” Series System providing a detection function and a trigger for activation and release of the extinguishing agent.
The BlazeCut® system operates automatically independent of any power supply by detecting higher temperatures. When the temperature in the protected enclosure rises to a critical threshold, the pneumatic detection tubing melts down at the point where the affecting temperature is the highest. Melting the tube creates a hole releasing the entire extinguishing agent stored in the tube and, where installed, trigger a value to release further volumes of suppression agents stored in cylinders.
Mining machines, forestry machines, construction vehicles are exposed to extreme everyday operation conditions. Such conditions multiply the risk of fires in the engine compartments of these vehicles and machines.
BlazeCut® “C” Series Systems can be installed to protect the engine compartment of any vehicle or machine ranging from standard truck or van to heavy forestry or mining machine. Typical applications include:
The BlazeCut® system operates automatically independent of any power supply, which is a key advantage, as the system is able to effectively operate and suppress fire in spaces even when people are not present.
It is also likely that insurers may also look approvingly on the installation of BlazeCut® fire suppression systems and view them as a positive approach to risk management by companies who choose to install them. This offers additional benefit if this further precaution results in more favorable insurance terms.
