The SolarFire Systems Automatic Fire Suppression System for Electrical Cabinets & Panels is the complete detection & suppression system for electrical cabinets. Featuring a low lifecycle cost, this highly effective system is easily installed directly INSIDE the electrical cabinet. It uses UL Listed special detection tubing to reliably detect and actuate release of the extinguishing agent using pneumatic technology.
How it works
The SolarFire Electrical Cabinet fire suppression systems uses UL approved detection tubing which is installed throughout the enclosure and connected to the Fire Suppression Cylinder. The tubing is then charged with nitrogen and this pressure is utilised to hold back the extinguishant in the cylinder.
Should a fire occur within the panel then the pressurised tubing will burst and the fire extinguishant will be released directly from the burst hole onto the fire.
This means the fire has created an outlet for the suppression agent exactly in the right location to put out the fire.
A Low pressure or discharge switch is fitted to the cylinder and should the system discharge, a signal can be sent to your fire alarm to raise an alarm and shut of power to the effected cabinet.
Electical Cabinet systems are able to prevent migration of the fire between cabinets e.g. from Enclosure 1 > 2 > 3 > 4
As electrical enclosures are often situated adjacent to each other and in multiples, this prevention of fire spread is absolutely critical.
Since systems are sized to protect the volume of enclosures only and not the whole room, this means there is a considerable reduction in the overall quantity of extinguishing agent required. This can result in significant cost savings when compared to much larger systems.
Four enclosures each protected by individual PAFSS detection tubing.
Each enclosure can be multi-compartment. NOTE: Risk assessment allows for only ONE fire in any ONE enclosure.
