FAQ - Common Questions
1. How does automatic aerosol suppression systems extinguish a fire?
The systems extinguishes fires by releasing fine particles that interrupt the combustion process. Instead of removing oxygen or cooling the fire, the aerosol neutralizes free radicals, effectively stopping the fire. These systems are ideal for enclosed spaces, such as electrical rooms and server areas, where water or foam would be unsuitable.
2. What is aerosol?
Aerosol is a chemical dry fire suppression technique that does not damage or harm properties or their structures in the same way that water does.
3. Do these products cause corrosion?
No, they do not cause corrosion because they are made from non-corrosive materials that leave no harmful residues. This makes them safe for sensitive equipment and electronics, as the particles can be easily cleaned without damaging surfaces.
4. What types of spaces can be protected by aerosol systems?
Aerosol systems can effectively protect nearly all technical spaces, regardless of their environment—whether underground or in wind turbines. They are suitable for transformer stations, electrical rooms, electrical cabinets, server rooms, specialized containers, energy storage systems, and production lines. These systems offer targeted protection tailored to the specific needs of production areas.
5. What is the lifespan of aerosol fire systems?
The lifespan of aerosol fire systems is 15 years. This makes them long lasting and cost-effective solution, as they require minimal maintenance during this period.
6. What are the standards and approvals for these products?
We adhere to the EN-15276-1 standard, and our fire systems also have UL approvals.
7. What do insurance companies think about aerosol fire suppression systems?
Insurance companies typically have a favorable view of aerosol fire suppression systems. They appreciate that these systems can quickly extinguish fires while minimizing damage to equipment and eliminating the risks associated with water or corrosion. By reducing the likelihood of claims—especially in areas housing valuable electronics—some insurers may even offer premium discounts for properties equipped with these systems.
8. What is the installation process and maintenance requirements for these products?
These systems are designed for easy installation, as they do not require extensive piping or water tanks. Units can be directly installed in protected areas, making them ideal for tight or specialized spaces like server rooms. Installation is quick and can be integrated into existing infrastructure.
These systems require minimal upkeep due to their low maintenance needs and lack of moving parts. Regular maintenance consists of an annual check and visual inspections.
For renewal, only the aerosol units need to be replaced after activation.
9. Where can I get maintenance for the products?
We can also arrange maintenance when placing the order. You can certainly order maintenance later as well.
10. What is the cleanup process after using an aerosol fire suppression system?
Our aerosol fire suppression system leaves minimal residue and no water, unlike traditional methods.
Ventilation: It's advisable to ventilate the area thoroughly to disperse any remaining aerosol particles in the air. This step helps restore normal working conditions quickly.
Surface Wiping: The system leaves behind a fine, dry powder that can be easily wiped off surfaces, ensuring a quick and straightforward cleanup.
Professional Assistance: For cleanup, we recommend enlisting professional services, especially in sensitive environments such as data centers or electrical rooms. These professionals utilize the right tools, such as compressed air and anti-static methods, to prevent any potential damage.
