Indirect Release System

Indirect Release System

An Indirect Release Fire Suppression System is an advanced fire protection solution designed to detect and suppress fires in larger or more complex environments. Unlike direct release systems, where the detection tube both senses the fire and discharges the suppressant, indirect systems separate these functions, allowing for more controlled and widespread agent distribution

How It Works

1. Fire Detection : A heat-sensitive detection tube is installed throughout the protected area. When exposed to high temperatures, the tube ruptures at the point closest to the heat source.

2. System Activation :The rupture causes a drop in pressure within the tube, triggering a control valve connected to a separate suppressant storage cylinder.

3. Agent Discharge : The suppressant is then released through a network of dedicated piping and strategically placed nozzles, flooding the entire protected area to effectively suppress the fire.

Key Benefits

1. Comprehensive Coverage :

Ideal for larger spaces requiring uniform suppressant distribution.

2. Flexible Design :

The separation of detection and discharge components allows for customized system layouts.

3. Rapid Response :

Automatic activation ensures swift suppression, minimizing potential damage.

4. Minimal Residue :

Utilizes clean agents like FM-200 or Novec 1230, which leave no residue and are safe for sensitive equipment.

Common Applications

1. Data Centers :

Protecting servers and networking equipment.

2. Manufacturing Facilities :

Safeguarding machinery and production lines.

3. Commercial Kitchens :

Suppressing fires in cooking areas.

4. Transportation :

Protecting engine compartments in vehicles.
