T-Series : BlazeCut
BlazeCut “T” Series system is a simple and cost effective fire protection tube for small enclosures.It consists of a heat sensitive tube made of special plastic which is closed by a stainless steel fitting on each end. The tube has both storage and detection function which means that the extinguishing agent is stored directly in the tube and no additional storage device like cylinder is needed. It makes it CYLINDERLESS
The BlazeCut system uses HFC-227ea or HFC-236fa, which is an extremely effective, clean and people-safe extinguishing medium and no harm to electronic components also.
BlazeCut system operates automatically independent of any power supply by detecting higher temperatures. When the temperature in the protected enclosure rises to a critical threshold, the detection tube melts down at the point where the affecting temperature is the highest. Melting the tube creates a hole releasing the entire extinguishing agent stored in the tube onto the source of the fire.
BlazeCut “T” Series systems are supplied in various lengths of the tube and volumes of agent. The standard volume of agent ranges from 0,25 kg to 1,0 kg, which is sufficient to protect enclosures with volume between 0,25 m3 and 1,00 m3 respectively.
Melting the BlazeCut Tube creates a hole releasing the entire extinguishing agent stored in the BlazeCut Tube directly onto the source of the fire.
Small electrical spaces such as electrical cabinets, fuse boxes, audio-video equipment or server racks can be found in every household, office or industrial building. Each of these small spaces poses a threat to the surrounding equipment and the building itself due to increased risk of fire.
BlazeCut “T” Series systems effectively protect these electrical spaces and stop the fire from spreading outside of the protected enclosure whereby preventing severe damage and losses.
The size of the enclosure is usually the sole limitation of use. Typical application includes but is not limited to:
- Electrical cabinets
- Fuse boxes
- Server Racks
- Audio-video equipment
- Network and cable installations
Vehicle fires are an issue all over the world and the number of such fires increases each year. Majority of vehicle fires have its source in the engine compartment. The most dangerous sources of fires in the engine compartments include electrical arcing, overloaded wiring, hot surfaces, mechanical sparks, electrical sources.
The engine compartments of vehicles are one of the most critical environments due to the increased risk of fire and in terms of extinguishing. Tight space, hot environment, changing temperatures, and air flow have substantial impact on extinguishing and pose a challenge for every fire suppression system.
BlazeCut “T” Series systems help protect engine compartments by capturing the staring fire or by suppressing the fire giving the crew time for further action. Easy installation, no maintenance and affordability makes this system a perfect first line fire protection of the engine compartment of small vehicles and pleasure boats.
The “T” Series systems are suitable for the following applications:
- On-road vehicles (cars, vans, SUVs, old-timers)
- Off-road vehicles (small construction or agricultural vehicles, forklift trucks, golf carts etc.)
- Pleasure boats (inboard and outboard engines)
TECHNOLOGY
The system consists of a heat sensitive BlazeCut Tube made of special plastic which is closed by a stainless steel fitting on each end. The BlazeCut Tube has both storage and detection function which means that the extinguishing agent is stored directly in the BlazeCut Tube and no additional storage device such as cylinder is needed. It is CYLINDERLESS
FEATURES
- Universal use: high flexibility of BlazeCut Tube and A, B, C and electrical fires class rating can protect almost any space
- High cost-effectivity: zero maintenance, long working life, automatic activation beats the competition in cost-effectivity
- Automatic operation based on increased temperature: ideal for non-occupied spaces & spaces out of sight
- Fully independent: system is operational 24/7 without any power supply
- No cylinder for storage of extinguishing agent needed: the whole system can be placed inside the protected enclosure
- Option to connect the pressure switch and other additional components like signaling unit to perform further functions
- Low operation temperatures: up to -40°C
- No maintenance during entire working life = zero maintenance costs long working life: upto 5 years depending on the type of application
- Clean and effective extinguishing agent: world-wide known and accepted HFC gases (HFC-227ea and HFC-236fa)
- No pressurization needed: the system works by increasing pressure of the extinguishing agent when heated
- No harm to protected enclosure and people when discharged
- Very simple installation: no training required for installation
- Activation temperature: about 80°C & 120°C
- Due to physical and chemical properties of the agent, pressure in the tube can vary depending on the ambient temperature. The higher the ambient temperature, the higher pressure in the tube and vice versa at very low temperatures the pressure of agent vapors is zero. Indicator on the pressure gauge can vary from 0 bar (when temperatures are very low) to 15 bar (when temperatures are very high).
