Vehicle Suppression

Vehicle Suppression Systems are indirect systems consisting of cylinders, hydraulic fire suppression hose as well as specialised discharge nozzles and are installed in engine compartments of heavy- and light duty vehicles, buses and armoured vehicles to suppress fires. Additionally, automatic water mist suppression systems may be installed in the cab of the vehicle to shield the operator from heat and smoke. The system is used in conjunction with I-PROTECT linear heat detection tubing for reliable activation. The system cools down the affected vehicle components to a safe working temperature, through effective nozzle placement design.

The Vehicle Suppression Systems for engine compartments utilise a foam additive to ensure enhanced effectivity for hydrocarbon applications.

BENEFITS

Capable of suppressing fires in the cab of the vehicle, reducing the risk of injury and loss of life
Suppresses all types of fires that may occur in the engine compartment
Automatically or manually activated in the event of a fire
Significantly reduces fire damage on a vehicle due to the quick response and reliability of the I-PROTECT linear heat detection tubing
Prevents re-ignition once the fire is suppressed
Creates a three-dimensional mist environment in the engine compartment, completely enclosing component at risk
Suitable for vehicles operating in harsh environments such as mines
Withstands extreme vibrations caused by rough roads
Utilises a minimal quantity of cylinders ensuring no obstruction to the operation of the vehicle
The system can be connected to any fire alarm system on the vehicle
