AutoFireX® Direct Low Pressure - ILP FK-5-1-12 Clean Agent Fire Suppression System
These are primarily Pre-Engineered Automatic Fire detection and suppression Systems utilising various Low-pressure Clean agents like,HFC227ea, FK 5-1-12, FE36.
Direct Low Pressure Systems Protects
DLP Systems
AutoFireX® DLP- Direct Low-Pressure Clean Agent Systems are primarily a Pre-Engineered Automatic Fire detection and suppression System utilising various Low-pressure agents like, Clean agents (HFC227ea, FK 5-1-12, FE36). These Units are designed, manufactured, and tested in ISO 9001:2015 certified facilities
The AutoFireX® Linear Pneumatic Fire Detection Tubing (FDT) is installed and connected to DLP Valve and routed throughout the protected hazard area/enclosure. Being heat sensitive, the primary function of Linear Pneumatic Fire Detection Tube (under pressure) is to detect heat/fire and activate the valve for discharge of the agent by rupturing at the hottest point along its installed length on flame impingement. On rupture a nozzle is formed at the burst point.
The clean agent under pressure, in the cylinder then flows out through the burst point, distributing the clean agent through the protected enclosure
Each DLP system consists of a High-Grade Stainless-Steel Direct valve assembly with 3 Ports and stainless steel siphon tube, a removable pressure gauge integrated to a Schrader adaptor fitted to the valve body that indicates cylinder pressure, a quarter turn Next Gen isolation valve with a G 1/8” Dual Seal threaded slip on union is provided to connect the AutoFireX® Fire Detection Tubing. A PRD (Pressure Relief Device) tested to 44Bar can also be provided. The system is supplied complete with CE Cylinders and Brackets with appropriate agent, as required.
To assist in annunciation, an optional pressure switch can be installed at one of the ports on valve or at the end of the detection line using a End of Line Adaptor, also available with the system. The pressure switch provides a potential free contact, that can be interfaced, with existing FACP (Fire Alarm Control Panel) to indicate system discharge, shutdown ventilation, shut-off electrical power, as may be required. Alternatively, it can also be connected to a Audio Visual (A/V) alarm unit for annunciation.
Since the units are supplied as automatic units no simultaneous manual or electric actuators are provided.
| PRODUCT CODE | AGENT QTY. | CYLINDER VOLUME | OPERATING PRESSURE(@21oC) | MAX VOLUME COVERAGE* |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 4000101 | 1 kg | 1400 ml | 15 Bar | 1.0-1.10m3 |
*Figures based on ideal conditions in fully enclosed space. Actual figures may vary according to application.
Maximum volume coverage is determined by agent concentration discharged within the enclosure where the fire hazard is located. The discharge time for DLP system utilising various agents differ from agent to agent and capacity of the cylinder.
AutoFireX® DLP FK-5-1-12 Clean Agent Automatic Fire Suppression Systems Advantages
- Reliable,24 x7 Automatic Fire Detection & Protection for equipment and data against Fires.
- Fast-Detection & Suppression of fire in seconds, reducing equipment damage and downtime
- Utilizing Multiple Detection points- UL approved AutoFireX® Fire Detection Tube (FDT) a Linear Pneumatic Heat detector that can detect fire throughout its installed length
- No External Power required to activate the system.
- No “False Alarm” or Discharges AutoFireX systems only activate in the event of an actual fire/heat impingement.
- Post Discharge - Systems utilizing UL approved AutoFireX® FK-5-1-12 Clean suppression agents require no post-discharge clean up.
- Easy to install in any new or existing Equipment’s (Electrical Panels, server rack etc.) and can be integrated with existing Smoke detection systems for LV applications.
- Environmentally Friendly - Low Pressure systems utilizing certified Clean Agents is not harmful to equipment or the environment.
- Interface Options -AutoFirex System comes with various options to initiate activities like Annunciation, shut on or shut of Power supply, ventilation, interface and monitoring through BMS, SCADA etc.
- Low Maintenance-AutoFireX systems do not interfere with installation or maintenance of equipment and can also be retrofitted to existing equipment’s.
- Cost Effective Service-can be quickly and cost effectively serviced and recharged after a fire
How it works?
Detect
AutoFireX detects fires at the source using proprietary heat and flame detection tubing.
Activate
The AutoFireX system activates automatically, providing protection even when no one is around.
Suppress
AutoFireX systems suppress fires in seconds using clean agents that are safe for people, equipment, and the environment.
