Dry Chemical Fire Suppression Systems

Production line shut downs due to fire can exceed the cost of the actual material damage. With dry chemical fire suppression systems, fires in process equipment can be rapidly detected, extinguished, and production resumed with less down time.

Types of equipment protected

The best candidates for dry chemical fire suppression systems are industrial applications such as paint spray booths. The agents most commonly employed are ABC and BC type powder. They are extremely effective fire fighting agents that suppresses fire by coating the surface of the combusting material. The coating separates the fuel from the oxygen supply and prevents reflash.

Detecting the fire

Depending on the nature of the equipment under the protection, we can activate dry chemical fire suppression systems using several different fire detection technologies:

• Mechanical fusible link
• Electric thermal detectors
• Flame detectors such as UV detectors and IR detectors
• Linear heat detection
• Pneumatic fire detection loops
