Aerosol electrical panel suppression systems use a solid chemical compound that, when released, disrupts the fire’s chemical chain reaction and cools down the fire, effectively extinguishing it with minimal residue and space requirements. NFPA 2010 standards recommend Fixed Aerosol Fire-Extinguishing Systems in case of Electrical Panel Fire Suppression
· Advantages:
- o No Piping Required: Other Electrical Panel Suppression required High Pressure Cylinder outside and A Pipe required to lay inside
- o No Hole required: Any Hole onto Electrical Panel violates Ingress Protection which Panel manufacturer doesn’t allow easily. Keep IP protection intact.
- o Affecting of Rodent & Replant: Free from the fear of leakage of piping or discharges of gas as the Aerosol doesn’t need any piping inside.
- o Useful at Unmanned area: Standalone Aerosol canister of Thermally operated generally used. It’s getting activated when the temperature increased to desired temperature inside automatically aerosol will discharge. Ideally at 170 deg. Centigrade however customization possible as per customer requirement.
- o No Maintenance: Low or no maintenance required
- o No Refilling of Gas: Aerosol comes in Solid form hence internal pressure is zero. Hence Refilling of gas not applicable. Only to replace the Canister by electrician / unskilled technician.
- o Effective Coverage: The Panel design ensures that the fire-suppressing agent reaches all areas of the protected space.
- o Minimal Damage: Aerosol systems generally leave little to no residue, minimizing cleanup and damage to sensitive equipment.
- o Environmental Friendliness: Aerosol agents are environmentally friendly, with no ozone depletion or global warming potential.
- o Versatile Applications: Applicable to Any High value electrical panel
Design Considerations:
Different brands have their own calculation as per agent contains however GLYPTIC AEROSOL consider as below:
M = Da x Fa x V
M is Total Mass of Agent required for Total Flooding – Kg
Da is Design Application Density (Kg per Meter Cube) – Kg/M3
Fa is Additional Density Factor Where 1.0<500m3, 1.1<1000m3 & 1.2 or more >1000m3.
V is Total volume to be protected (considered zero leakage of the room)
Available Size for GLYPTIC AEROSOL (widest Range):
Starts from 30gm, 60gm, 100gm, 200gm, 300gm, 500gm for small to large electrical control panel. Ideally per cubic meter panel coverage at 100gm Aerosol agent considering there is no open space / leakage. |
