Aerosol Fire Suppression Systems offer a highly effective solution for fire incidents. Utilizing advanced aerosol technology, these systems swiftly suppress fires, effectively preventing their further spread. With their reliability and efficiency, they are the ideal choice for ensuring fire safety in a wide range of environments.
Aerosol fire suppression is a form of fire extinction that is particle-based. It is very similar to dry chemical fire extinction or gaseous fire extinction. It consists of fire-extinguishing agents such as gaseous matter and fine solid particles. The exothermic reaction generates aerosol microparticles and gases, which remain in a vapour state until it is discharged from the fire safety system. Until then, it is condensed and cooled within the device and released as solid particles. In the 1990’s halon fire extinguishers were banned by environmental protection agencies, thus creating a need for alternative sources. Aerosol suppression systems are the ideal alternative to halon extinguishers to take out most types of fire, while ensuring safety for the equipment and people. Case Fire Solutions has a wealth of experience in offering top-class fire protection solutions for businesses across Qatar. For further information, please do not hesitate to reach out to our team.
As mentioned above, aerosol suppressants use a combination of gaseous matter and microparticles to flood the protected area. Until they are discharged, the particles are in a vapour state. Once released, it creates a chain reaction causing it to produce solid and gaseous matter to subdue the fire. The aerosol fire suppression breaks the fire triangle (oxygen, heat and fuel) by reducing the fuel, removing the oxygen, and removing the heat. As long as there is a sufficient amount of heat, fuel, and oxygen, the fire will keep continuing to burn. This type of suppression system works toward removing the heat by:
Aerosol suppression systems can also work by disrupting a chain reaction creating:
Aerosol fire suppression systems are extremely effective in taking out class A, B, and C fires. Having said that, the effectiveness of these fire suppression systems depends on the concentration of particulates near the flame, the type of fuel involved, and the location of other flammable materials. Additionally, aerosol fire suppression systems can be equipped with automatic or electrical fire detection and activation systems.
Aerosol fire suppression systems operate by a chemical reaction that generates heat. The temperature of these canisters can reach as high as 4000°F at the time of discharge. This can also be a disadvantage as the high temperature may lead to a re-flash of the fire. A few aerosol fire suppression systems have cooling blocks installed to help lower the temperature preventing a re-flash. For your peace of mind, aerosol suppression systems do not cause damage to equipment; however, the particles can leave a residue on some sensitive components. A pro-tip – try to install aerosol fire suppression systems away from any sensitive electronic gadgets. They also should not be installed in places that are highly occupied as the fumes can be dangerous if inhaled, and it can cause visual impairment causing complications during fire evacuations.
Aerosol fire suppression systems are a reliable and innovative piece of fire-safety equipment that is suitable for safeguarding buildings and people from any type of enclosed fire risk. It is affordable and simple to install and can be placed in server rooms, CNC machines, including military vehicles too! They are also environmentally friendly and highly effective at dousing fires in local spaces and enclosed facilities. The particles produced when discharged are non-toxic and non-corrosive. It is also five times as effective as halon fire extinguishers.
