IV. Product Features

Electrical initiator activation: Upon detection of a fire, the fire suppression system receives a 24 V power signal, triggering the extinguishing sequence and completing discharge within 10 seconds.

V. Operating Principle

During a fire, the external device outputs a 24 V power signal to the electric igniter of the fire suppression system. The igniter then initiates the gas‑generating agent in the gas‑generation assembly, and the resulting pressurized gas ruptures the nozzle diaphragm, enabling the atomized discharge of perfluorohexanone extinguishing agent. This discharge process…

When applied within 10 seconds, it enables the perfluorohexanone extinguishing agent to achieve optimal performance. While attaining peak fire‑extinguishing effectiveness, the impregnation effect surpasses the required impregnation time within the protected area, swiftly delivering both fire suppression and thorough impregnation.

Non-Pressurized Perfluorohexanone Fire Suppression System | Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: To which protected areas is the non‑pressurized perfluorohexanone fire suppression system applicable?

A1: Suitable for enclosed spaces such as precision equipment rooms, distribution rooms, energy storage cabinets, and archives; effective for extinguishing electrical fires, but not suitable for fires involving reactive metals or strong oxidizers.

Q2: What is a non‑pressurized type?

A2: The device does not store high pressure within its cylinder; instead, it relies on an initiating gas‑generating assembly to propel the extinguishing agent, eliminating the need for a high‑pressure gas cylinder and enhancing safety during transportation and storage.

Q3: What startup methods are available for the device?

A3: Supports temperature‑controlled automatic start-up and electrically interlocked activation of the fire alarm system, and can be equipped with a mechanical emergency start to comply with fire safety codes.

Q4: Will the discharge of perfluorohexanone damage precision equipment?

A4: The agent is clean and leaves no residue, exhibits excellent insulation properties, does not corrode precision electronic components upon discharge, and allows equipment to resume operation promptly after fire suppression and ventilation.

Q5: How long is the shelf life of the medication, and do the cylinders require regular hydrostatic pressure testing?

A5: The formulation exhibits excellent stability; the container can be stored at ambient pressure, eliminating the need for periodic hydrostatic testing required for pressurized cylinders—maintenance and replacement are sufficient based on the product’s service life.

Q6: Will gaps in the protected area affect the fire suppression performance?

A6: Yes. During fire suppression, the doors, windows, and ventilation openings of the protected area must be closed to minimize agent loss, maintain the design extinguishing concentration, and ensure effective fire suppression.

Q7: During the system’s discharge delay phase, may personnel remain inside the protected area?

A7: No. Personnel must evacuate the protected area within the delay period, and entry is prohibited after discharge to prevent inhalation of the agent’s vapors.

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

A8: No. Refilling and maintenance of the fire‑extinguishing agent must be performed by a qualified fire‑protection contractor; unauthorized disassembly or reassembly may render the system inoperable.

Q9: Can a single system protect multiple protected zones?

A9: It can be configured with piping networks and selection valves to provide protection for multiple zones; when no selection valve is installed, it can only protect a single protected zone.

Q10: What routine maintenance checks should be performed?

A10: Regularly inspect the enclosure for damage and ensure wiring is intact; check the status of the starting components. Conduct system testing annually by a qualified maintenance provider.
