Specification of Condensed Aerosol Fire Suppression System
Condensed Aerosol Fire Suppression System
The EXA fire suppression system is a solid aerosol-generating compound contained in a non-pressurised metal canister. The EXA fire-extinguishing aerosol is a mixture of dry chemical particles and gasses – which, when electrically activated, produces combustion of micron-sized dry chemical particles and gas to extinguish fire.
Before being released into the protected area, the EXA aerosol propels itself through a unique physical coolant which absorbs and redistributes heat, thus ensuring flameless discharge and uniform distribution of aerosol within the area. Micron-sized aerosol particles, which exhibit gas-like three dimensional qualities, allow the agent to rapidly distribute throughout the enclosure and even reach concealed or shielded locations. Homogeneous distribution is achieved in seconds, while long holding times help to prevent fire re-ignition.
Non-pressurised, non-toxic, environmentally friendly, the EXA self-contained module requires no plumbing work and therefore is easy to install and maintain.
