IV. Functional Features

4.1  Pump-Group-Based Flexible Spray Dispensing Control

Employing a pump‑unit‑based design, this system offers exceptional flexibility, enabling precise control of the pump units to adjust the discharge rate and flow of the extinguishing agent according to actual conditions, thereby achieving highly accurate fire suppression.

4.2  Programmable jog spraying

The host is equipped with an independent touchscreen control system, allowing users to configure parameters such as the interval between spray events, the number of spray cycles, and the duration of each spray, thereby enabling cabin-level operation. / Cluster-level /PACK Different spray‑release modes are available. Once activated, the fire‑suppression system can continuously inhibit the propagation of thermal runaway for at least 30 minutes, and its suppression duration can be extended by increasing the battery capacity as needed.

4.3  Unpressurized storage, safe and reliable

The fire‑extinguishing agent storage tank employs atmospheric, non‑pressurized storage. Compared with conventional high‑pressure cylinder‑bank systems, it features lower storage pressure, enhanced safety, and simplified installation and maintenance, while being equipped with a pressure‑feedback device for real-time monitoring of the system’s pressure status.

4.4 One-Button Start and Emergency Stop

The device features one-touch start and emergency stop functions, offering simple operation and rapid response to emergencies.

4.5 Liquid Level Monitoring and Leak Alarm

The liquid level sensor enables real-time monitoring of the extinguishing agent’s level, with support for level display and leak‑alarm functionality.

5. Operating Principle

The system is equipped with a fire detector (composite / The combustible gas detector continuously monitors for fire signals within the protected area. Upon detecting a fire, the control system issues a command to activate the pump unit and open the corresponding zone’s solenoid valve, thereby delivering perfluorohexanone extinguishing agent through the piping to the fire‑affected area, where it is discharged via dedicated atomizing nozzles.

Perfluorohexanone extinguishes fires through the following dual mechanism:

1.  Physical cooling effect: The extinguishing agent rapidly vaporizes, absorbing heat and thereby reducing the temperature in the combustion zone. The heat of vaporization of perfluorohexanone is only that of water. 1/25 , whereas the vapor pressure is that of water 25 It is highly efficient in vaporization and can rapidly remove heat.

2.  Chemical inhibition: The gas molecules formed when the extinguishing agent vaporizes participate in and interrupt the combustion chain reaction, thereby suppressing flame propagation.

The device supports programmable pulse‑spraying, enabling intermittent discharge onto the ignition source to continuously remove the heat generated by the battery cell’s chemical reactions, thereby preventing heat buildup and secondary reignition.

Pump-Group Type Perfluorohexanone Fire Suppression System | Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: What types of facilities are suitable for pump‑group‑type perfluorohexanone fire suppression systems?

A1: Suitable for large-scale data centers, energy storage power stations, and large distribution rooms—areas that are extensive, multi‑zone, and enclosed—and is effective in extinguishing electrical fires. It is not suitable for fires involving reactive metals or strong oxidizers.

Q2: What is the operating principle of a pump‑based perfluorohexanone fire suppression system?

A2: Relying on pump‑set power to deliver the extinguishing agent, it does not depend on high‑pressure gas cylinders and can convey the agent through long‑distance piping networks, making it well suited for large spaces, extended distances, and centralized protection of multiple protected zones.

Q3: What startup methods are available for the device?

A3: Supports automatic interlock activation upon fire detection, manual on-site activation, and mechanical emergency activation, thereby meeting the requirements of fire safety codes.

Q4: Will the discharge of perfluorohexanone extinguishing agent damage precision equipment?

A4: The agent is clean and leaves no residue, has excellent insulating properties, does not corrode electronic components, and allows equipment to resume operation promptly after ventilation.

Q5: How long is the shelf life of the medication, and does the container need to undergo a hydrostatic pressure test?

A5: The pharmaceutical agent exhibits chemical stability; it can be stored in atmospheric-pressure containers without requiring gas cylinder hydrostatic testing, and its associated components should be replaced periodically according to the product’s service life.

Q6: Does a large gap in the protected area affect the fire suppression effectiveness?

A6: It has an impact. Before discharge, doors and windows, as well as ventilation openings, must be closed to minimize agent leakage and ensure that the design extinguishing concentration is achieved within the protected area.

Q7: During the system’s delayed‑release phase, may personnel remain inside the protected area?

A7: No, personnel must evacuate during the delay period, and entry is prohibited immediately after the discharge to prevent inhalation of the agent’s vapors.

Q8: Can the perfluorohexanone agent be disassembled, reassembled, and refilled independently?

A8: No. Refilling of fire‑extinguishing agents, maintenance of pump units, and inspection of piping networks must be carried out by a qualified fire‑protection contractor; unauthorized operations may render the system inoperable.

Q9: Can a single pump‑set‑type system protect multiple protected zones?

A9: Yes, by using a selection valve, a single pump‑set system can provide zoned discharge for multiple independent protection zones.

Q10: What routine maintenance checks should be performed?

A10: Regularly inspect the pump unit and piping for leaks, and monitor the operating status of the control equipment; conduct a comprehensive system inspection annually by a qualified maintenance provider.
