Direct Release Fire Suppression Systems
Kanex Direct Release Systems utilize heat- and flame-sensitive Firetrace Detection Tubing, functioning both as a detection device and a suppression agent delivery system.
How It Works
- During a fire, the section of the detection tubing closest to the heat source ruptures, forming a discharge nozzle.
- This rupture results in an immediate pressure drop, releasing the entire suppression agent directly through the burst hole to extinguish the fire.
- A single cylinder can protect multiple enclosures by routing the detection tubing into each critical area.
- Available in both low-pressure and high-pressure configurations, these systems are scalable and suitable for enclosures of any size.
- A fire suppression expert can assess and recommend the appropriate system for your application.
Key Applications
1. Data and Computing
Data Centers: Protects server racks and enclosures from internal electrical fires using a self-activating, stand-alone solution.
Server Racks: Detects and suppresses fires caused by short circuits, power surges, or component failures. Optional pressure switches can integrate with alarm or EPO (Emergency Power Off) systems.
2. Telecommunications
Safeguards telecom enclosures by containing the fire at its source, minimizing collateral damage and avoiding downtime typically caused by traditional suppression systems.
3. Electrical Cabinets and Panels
- Manufacturing Facilities: Rapidly detects and suppresses fire within electrical cabinets to minimize damage and operational downtime.
- Power Substations: Non-conductive agent makes it ideal for high-voltage environments, effectively protecting switchgear and critical electrical panels.
4. Infrastructure and Realty
Widely used in control panels and electrical boards found in hotels, hospitals, commercial complexes, and high-rise buildings, ensuring 24/7 fire protection in high-risk environments.
