Aerosol extinguishing devices operate with a solid compound that is discharged as a dry aerosol mist into the area upon activation. There is therefore no extinguishing water that can damage your equipment, warehouse or stored goods. Moreover, there is no polluted extinguishing water to damage the environment.
Aerosol does not enter into a reaction with oxygen and does not dispel any oxygen. The oxygen level will therefore be maintained. The area is safe for humans and animals before, during and after activation, so there is no immediate danger should any staff be unable to leave the area due to an accident. Aerosol is therefore much safer than technologies resulting in a reduced oxygen level or the absence of oxygen altogether.
Aerosol is compact and this technology offers a tremendous economy of space. The subsequent monetary savings are not limited to savings with shipping and transport over other types of fire suppression.
Aerosol generators are based on a solid compound. By consequence the service life stated for aerosol is usually 10 years, which is in accordance with most international regulations (product life is 15 years). Given normal climatic circumstances, which is usually the case in protected areas, and regular maintenance, there are few things that affect the system’s performance.
Aerosol systems do not need mains water, reservoirs or storage tanks. Protected spaces do not need to be air-tight, and there is no need for pressure-relief vent systems. Next to these installation advantages, aerosol units are easy to demount should your company move, renovate or change the purpose of the protected area.
Most fires start small, go unnoticed and are discovered too late.
Contrary to other fire extinguishing systems, aerosol extinguishing systems are able to put out the fire in its seat because it does not need any mains or pressurized systems.
On top of that, AF-X Fireblocker extinguishing generators can be equipped with a Bimetal thermal switches for standalone activation of aerosol extinguishant when the temperature exceeds 65° C, so that they can operate as stand-alone units, i.e. without any power supply or leads, which is ideal for ‘remote’ areas.
