AF System’s advantages


Price
  • The lowest price among the fixed Aerosol Fire-extinguishing Systems
Safe for equipment
  • Causes no corrosion
  • Can be used for extinguishing cable runs and live equipment with the voltage of up to 40 kV
Requires no separate space
  • Fire-extinguishing aerosol generators are to be installed inside protected spaces
Easy to use
  • Zero maintenance cost
  • Monthly and yearly inspections carried out by the crew
Safe for the crew
  • Non toxic
  • If there are people inside the space hen the system starts working, they can leave the space using minimum protection devices for their respiratory organs
No pressurized bottles and pipelines
  • The charge which produces the aerosol is solid and is situated directly inside fire-extinguishing aerosol generators
Environment friendly
  • Emits no ozone-depleting substances
  • Makes no contribution to the global warming
Light-weight and compact
  • Aerosol fire-extinguishing systems have the least weight among fire-extinguishing systems
  • Easy to install

Impact on the man Impact on property Environmental impact
Aerosol Can be used in the presence of men in acceptable concentrations and provided the protective measures are taken. Harmless. Environment friendly; does not deplete the ozone layer.
Water and foam Requires special protection devices. Damages property due to a high water content, corrodes metal components, disables electronic equipment. The residue is difficult to remove, the foam is toxic.
Carbon dioxide, CO2 In fire-extinguishing concentration is extremely dangerous for the man. Condensed fluids which are formed can damage electronic equipment. CO2 emitted during fire-extinguishing is much higher than its emission from other sources.
Noble gas Can disrupt oxygen supply to the human brain. Harmless Harmless
Halo carbons Use in the presence of the man is prohibited. Harmless Dangerous, contribute to the depletion of the ozone layer.
