This is a Pre-Engineered Automatic Fire detection and suppression System utilising UL Listed AutoFireX® Low-pressure agents FK 5-1-12.
Indirect Low Pressure Systems Protects
ILP Systems
AutoFireX ILP- Indirect Low-Pressure Systems is a Pre-Engineered Automatic Fire detection and suppression System utilising UL Listed AutoFireX® Low-pressure agents FK 5-1-12. These Units are designed, manufactured, and tested in ISO 9001:2015 certified facilities.
The system utilises UL Listed AutoFireX® Linear Pneumatic Fire Detection Tubing (FDT) which is installed and connected to ILP 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 due to loss of pressure in the tube connected to the valve, causing the internal piston in the valve to slide to its fully open position, allowing the pressurised agent to travel through into any or combination of three discharge ports via delivery hose/pipes and discharge out from the fixed nozzles, within the protected area, flooding the entire area with the agent and suppressing the fire instantly. Each ILP system consists of a High-Grade Stainless-Steel Indirect valve with three standard 1/8” ports (SV,P/s or P/g etc.), and three 3/8” discharge ports, SS siphon tube, removable pressure gauge with Schrader adaptor to monitor cylinder pressure, and system bleed off, a quarter turn Next Gen isolation valve with threaded Dual seal slip on union to connect the AutoFireX Fire Detection Tubing, and optional PRD (Pressure Relief Device) tested to 44Bar can also be provided. The systems is supplied complete with UL/CE Cylinders and Brackets with appropriate agents, 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 an End of Line Adaptor (EOL), 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, BMS/SCADA systems as may be required. Alternatively, it can also be connected to a Audio Visual (A/V) alarm unit for annunciation.
GENERAL SPECIFICATION -AutoFireX® ILP FK-5-1-12 CLEAN AGENT SYSTEM
AutoFireX® ILP Clean Agent Systems consist of a high-grade welded steel cylinder and bracket, supplied complete with AutoFireX® Indirect type SS Valve assembly & all necessary fittings. All cylinder assemblies contain Agent super pressurised with Nitrogen to 15bar @ 21oC. The systems are available in various sizes (2Kg - 20Kgs) and can be upscaled to higher capacity containers subject to operating pressure & temperature conditions of the area/application being protected
| 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 ILP system utilising various agents differ from agent to agent and capacity of the cylinder.
AutoFireX® ILP 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
- Multiple Detection points-AutoFireX Proprietary Fire Detection Tube (FDT)acts as a Linear Pneumatic Heat detector 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 Clean suppression agents require no post-discharge clean up.
- Option of manual actuation and/or electrical actuation (utilizing Solenoid valve)
- Easy to install in any new or existing Equipment’s (CNC/EDM machines, 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.
