AutoFireX® IHP- Indirect High-Pressure Co2 Systems
These are primarily a Pre-Engineered Automatic Fire detection and suppression System utilising High pressure agent Co2. These Units are designed, manufactured, and tested in ISO 9001:2015 certified facilities.
Indirect High Pressure Systems Protects
Indirect High Pressure Systems
The AutoFireX® Linear Pneumatic Fire Detection Tubing (FDT) is installed and connected to IHP 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.
The Co2 clean agent under pressure, in the cylinder then flows out through the discharge port and is dispersed evenly via the network of discharge hose and nozzles, placed strategically in the protected enclosure and extinguishing the fire instantly.
Each IHP system consists of a High-Grade Brass Indirect valve assembly with 3 Ports (1 x Inlet connection-W28.8x1/14"- 1 1/8"-12 UNF-2A, M 25x 2; 1 x Outlet connection M10x0,75 & 1 x Filling connection- W 21,8 x 1/14") and siphon tube, a quarter turn Next Gen isolation valve with a G 1/8” threaded push-in/ slip on union is provided to connect the AutoFireX® Fire Detection Tubing. A Pressure gauge is also be provided to monitor the system pressure. The system is supplied complete with light weight UL approved High-Pressure Seam less Aluminium Alloy Cylinders and Brackets and IHP valve Guard.
To assist in annunciation, an optional pressure switch can be installed at the end of the detection line using an 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.
Manual actuator provided can be fixed via End of Line to the Fire Detection tube at strategic location for manual actuation.
| 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 IHP system utilising various agents differ from agent to agent and capacity of the cylinder.
AutoFireX® Automatic Co2 IHP Fire Suppression Systems Advantages
- IHP Co2 Fire Suppression Systems with major UL Recognized Components
- Reliable,24 x7 Automatic Fire Detection & Protection for machines, equipment, and data against Fires.
- Fast-Detection & Suppression of fire within seconds, reducing equipment damage and downtime
- Utilizing Multiple Detection points-UL Recognized Component AutoFireX® Fire Detection Tube (FDT) which is a Linear Pneumatic Heat detector that can detect fire throughout its installed length
- Intrinsically safe for electric charged areas. No External Power required to activate the system.
- No “False Alarm” or Discharges as systems only activate in the event of an actual fire/heat impingement.
- Post Discharge - Systems utilizing clean suppression agents require no post-discharge clean up.
- Easy to install in any new or existing Equipment’s (CNC Machines, Electrical Panels, server rack etc.).
- Environmentally Friendly systems utilizing UL certified seamless cylinders and Clean Agents, not harmful to equipment or the environment.
- Interface Options -Systems 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.
