How Do Our Fire Suppression Systems Work? From Theory to Practice
Our fire suppression systems are the result of combining engineering knowledge with innovative chemistry. Understanding their mechanism of action allows one to appreciate their effectiveness and advantage over traditional solutions.
Activation and Aerosol Generation
Each of our compact aerosol generators contains a solid, chemically stable extinguishing compound. The device is equipped with a detector that reacts to a temperature increase in the protected area. When the temperature reaches a specified threshold, the generator is activated. As a result of a controlled chemical reaction, the compound transforms into fine aerosol particles, invisible to the naked eye, which fill the entire space within seconds.
The Extinguishing Principle: Breaking the Fire Chain
Traditional extinguishing involves eliminating one of the three elements of the so-called "fire triangle" (oxygen, heat, fuel). Our system goes a step further. The aerosol consists of microparticles that chemically interact with the active radicals in the flame. These radicals are essential for sustaining the combustion reaction. The aerosol intercepts and neutralizes these radicals, leading to the immediate interruption of the chain reaction and smothering the fire in its infancy. This process is so fast that the fire has no chance to spread and cause major damage.
Safety and Side Effects
Our aerosol is not only extremely effective but also safe for electronic devices. It is non-conductive, non-corrosive, and does not cause thermal shock. Crucially, after the fire is extinguished, the aerosol dissipates naturally, leaving **no residues or deposits**. As a result, the fire is not only neutralized but also avoids additional costs and business interruptions associated with cleaning equipment and infrastructure.
