4 SECONDARY SUPPRESSION SYSTEMS If you only have a total flood suppression system you need to consider a secondary system that can isolate a fire and possibly save you valuable downtime and repair to your assets. By addressing the danger at a micro level before your larger system kicks in you are still protecting your assets, personnel, and mechanical, but more efficiently in relation to your total operation. We can provide a self-activating suppression system PROTECT ASSETS AND LIVES that reliably suppresses fires in seconds. We can design a low maintenance, cost-effective solution to the problem of micro-environment fire protection. This system uses polymer tubing that will rupture when exposed to a flame. This specialized detection tubing combines leak resistance, flexibility, durability and precise temperature sensitivity, allowing it to react quickly when the heat from a fire is present. Direct Release Low Pressure Systems The Direct Low Pressure (DLP) System utilizes the Firetrace Detection Tubing as both the fire detection device and the fire suppressant delivery system. The portion of the tube nearest the hottest point of the fire ruptures forming an effective discharge nozzle. The pressure drop in the tube releases the entire contents of the cylinder through this nozzle. Indirect Release Low Pressure Systems With the Indirect Low Pressure (ILP) System, the Firetrace Detection Tubing is used only as a detection device. The fire suppression agent is delivered via copper tubing, stainless steel tubing or braided hose. Once the tube bursts, the suppressant is discharged through strategically placed nozzles within the protected enclosure. High Pressure Systems This line of Firetrace products, available in both direct and indirect systems, allows for delivery of high pressure suppressants such as carbon dioxide, argon or similar agents. Applications CNC Machines Enclosed Automated milling machines; robotic welding machines; plastic injection molding machines Electrical Cabinets and Controls Computer Racks; PLC & process automation control cabinets; critical data processing equipment; UPS cabinets; medical equipment; switchgears Industrial Equipment Forklifts; plant machinery equipment protection; paper pulping machines; farming equipment Fume Cabinets Chemical storage; research and development lags; chemical production; pharmaceutical labs; university and school labs On-Road Vehicles/ Mass Transit Buses; electric trains, school buses; paratransport vehicles; shredder trucks

5 Train Prepare Prevent Did you know that OSHA requires that when an employer provides a portable fire extinguisher that they are required to provide annual training? (OSHA ) We can help. FESSAR s certified professionals are available to train your employees on the correct way to respond to a fire event and how to use the equipment that you have invested in to protect human life and your assets. Don t wait call and schedule your annual portable fire training now. Fire Facts: Overview of US Fire Problem: In 2009 USA fire departments responded to an estimated 1,331,500 fires.

6 Portables How and Where To Use Classification of Fires How To Use CLASS A - Fires that occur in ordinary combustible materials such as wood, cloth and paper. The common extinguishing agent is water which cools and quenches. Fires in this class are also extinguished by special dry chemicals for use on Class A,B and C fires. These provide a rapid knock down of flame and form a fire retardent coating which prevents reflash. CLASS B - Fires that occur in the vapop-air mixture over the surface of flammable liquids such as grease, gasoline and lubricating oils. A smothering or combustion inhibiting effect is necessary to extinguish Class B fires. Dry chemical, foam, vaporizing liquids, carbon dioxide and water fog all can be used as extinguishing agents depending on the circumstances of the fire. CLASS C - Fires that occur in electrical dquipment where non-conducting extinguishing agents must be used. Dry chemical, carbon dioxide and vaporizing liquieds are suitable. Because foam, water (except as a spray), and water-type extinguishing agents conduct electricity, their use can kill or injure the person operating the extinguisher and severe damage to electrical equipment can result. CLASS K - Fires that occur in cooking appliances that involve combustible cooking media ( vegetable or animal oils and fats) UL test requires that the fire in the fryer be completely extinguished prohibitin the re-ignition of the vegetable oil for 20 minutes, or until the temprature decreases to at least 60 degrees F below the auto-ignition temperature, whichever is longer. CLASS D - Fires that occure in combustible metals such as magnesium, titanium, zirconium and sodium. Specialized techniques, extinguishing agents and extinguishing equipment have been developed to control and extinguish fires of this type. Normal extinguishing agents generally should not be used on metal fires as there is danger in ost cases of increasing the intensity of the fire because of a chemical reaction between some extinguishing agents and the burning metal.
