FirePro - AASYS

FirePro fire suppression systems contain the latest generation of our FPC Compound, consisting mainly of Potassium salts with non-pyrotechnic materials. Upon activation, the FPC transforms into a rapidly expanding highly efficient and effective fire suppression condensed aerosol that is distributed evenly in the protected enclosure using the momentum developed in the transformation process. In contrast to the traditional fire extinguishing methods (gaseous or fire sprinkler systems), the fire is extinguished predominately by interrupting the chemical chain reactions in the flame as per the tetrahedron of fire, without depleting oxygen. Furthermore, FirePro is compatible with conventional and addressable fire alarm systems.

How It Works

Conventional fire extinguishing agents use the following methods to extinguish fire:

Suffocation method (depletion of oxygen levels in air below 15% at normal pressures extinguishes fire)
Cooling method (heat absorption)
Removal of fuel

FirePro aerosol on the other hand, extinguishes fire by inhibiting the chain chemical reactions present in combustion on a molecular level. It removes the flame free radicals and extinguishes fire without depleting oxygen.

In a typical fire, atoms and fragments of unstable free radicals react between them in the presence of oxygen. This continues until the burning fuel is depleted or the fire is extinguished by other means.

On activation of the FirePro Aerosol Generator its solid compound is transformed into an aerosol consisting mainly of Potassium salts (e.g. K2CO3) H2O, N2 and CO2.

The gas type 3D properties of the aerosol particles facilitate their even and fast distribution as well as their flow into the natural convection currents of combustion. The solid particles of Potassium salts a few microns in size, suspended in an inert gas, display an extremely high surface to reaction mass ratio – increasing efficiency and reducing the quantity of material required.

When the aerosol reaches and reacts with the flame, Potassium radicals (K*) are formed mainly from the disassociation of Potassium salts e.g. K2CO3. The K* bind to other flame free radicals (hydroxyls) forming stable products such as KOH. This action extinguishes fire without having to deplete oxygen.

Protection Method

FirePro Condensed Aerosol Fire Extinguishing Systems are used in as a total flooding agent in the fire protection of enclosures. However, unlike traditional gaseous agents, the total flooding effect is achieved without increasing the pressure in the enclosure. Upon activation, the fire extinguishing condensed aerosol is evenly distributed using the energy produced in the transformation process of the FPC compound from the solid to the aerosol phase.

FirePro Condensed Aerosol Fire Extinguishing Systems can protect, volumetrically, enclosures of any size; from volumes of less than a cubic metre to volumes of thousands of cubic metres.
