International. The risk of small fires in hidden spaces, CNC machines, electrical cabinets or wind turbines, can be potentially devastating, hence a solution that deals with fire suppression in small spaces is necessary. Therefore, the Fike brand presented a solution for this problem.
It is important to note that these types of small conflagrations can go unnoticed until significant damage occurs. That is why the Fike company has devised a solution that focuses on the detection and suppression of these fires, the "Small Space Suppression System".
This new technology uses a flexible pneumatic tube, which is strategically routed through small applications to detect and extinguish fires at their source using the 3MTM NovecTM 1230 fire protection fluid. Depending on the application, Fike's small space suppression solution comes in two configurations, direct and indirect.
The direct solution is designed for electrical panels or electrical cabinets and wind turbines. It differs because the heat-reactive pipe is routed through the confined space, so when there is a fire a hole in the pipe will melt, which is pressurized with nitrogen and will open the suppression cylinder; Subsequently, the agent will be released from the hole and directly into the fire.
The indirect solution is designed for CNC machines, it is characterized by using thermoreactive tubes. So instead of the agent flowing through the pipe hole, the agent flows through the UL-approved suppression nozzles for 3MTM NovecTM 1230 fluid.
Advantages of removing the Fike solution
According to the company within its advantages, compared to the competition, 6 elements stand out.
1. Unmatched Technical Support: When you call, a trained and experienced support staff picks up the phone to answer any of your questions.
2. Fast delivery times: Solid inventory and multiple warehouses ensure easily available product and responsive delivery.
3. Wide range of cylinder sizes: Available in 1kg, 2kg, 4kg, 6kg, 9kg and 18kg cylinders to provide the most cost-effective size for your unique application.
4. Custom Nozzles: UL certified nozzles ensure the decomposition of the agent into small droplets that vaporize to quell the fire; otherwise, the agent is delivered in an inefficient flow.
5. Reliable Pipe: State-of-the-art manufacturing ensures constant pipe wall thickness to avoid leakage points.
6. Patented Valve: Specifically designed for Fike's suppression of small gaps, the ball valve is integrated into a stainless steel body to reliably supply the agent to the pipe network and prevent leakage.
