Firetrace® is a self seeking suppression system which automatically detects and suppresses a fire at source. This is achieved by the Firetrace® detection tubing being routed through the risk area offering protection along its entire length. This detection tubing is designed to rupture at 110°C discharging the suppression agent at the point of Fire.
Firetrace® suppression systems may be used as a standalone device or can be fully monitored for interfacing with alarm system or a full shutdown of the equipment being protected.
Firetrace systems come with three separate offerings;
- Direct Firetrace System:
The Direct Firetrace System utilizes the Firetrace detection tubing as both the detection device and mode of delivery of the fire suppression agent. The portion of the tube nearest the hottest point of the fire ruptures forming a discharge nozzle. The pressure drop in the tube releases the entire contents of the cylinder through the burst directly onto the fire source.
Available with the following agents:
• Dry Powder
• Novec 1230
• Carbon Dioxide
- Indirect Firetrace System:
The Indirect Firetrace Systems use the trace tube for detection only. The Fire suppression agent is delivered via fixed piped diffusers. Once the detection tube bursts, the suppression agent is discharged through strategically placed diffusers within the protected enclosure.
Available with the following agents:
• Dry Powder
• Novec 1230
• Carbon Dioxide
• AFFF Foam
- Bi-Directional System:
The Bi-directional Firetrace System uses the trace tube for detection and delivery of a percentage of the suppression agent. The Fire Suppressant agent is delivered through the burst in the trace tube and via fixed piped diffusers strategically placed with the protected enclosure giving a discharge of both a direct and indirect system simultaneously.
