Design of the AF-X Fireblocker Carbon Series
General description:
1)
The AF-X Fireblocker Carbon Series generator has a steel casing and comes in various shapes and sizes see
annex 1.
2)
The AF-X Fireblocker Carbon Series generators contain a solid, aerosol-forming compound (“
SAFCO
”).
3)
Each container is equipped with a special system for independent activation of the generator.
4)
All types are equipped with a heat absorbing mechanism (insulation).
A tension of 12/24 V (Direct Current) on the AF-X Fireblocker Carbon Series generator and an electric current of at
least 0,02 amperes for 1,0 seconds activates the extinguishing agent and convert it into dispersed micro and nano
particles. The aerosol is then cooled by the heat absorbing elements and discharged into the protected area, blocking
the fire by stopping the combustion chain reaction. Activation simultaneously triggers other chemical reactions
ensuring a final product that is harmless to man, matter and the environment.
All generators of the Carbon Series are equipped with:
•
An integrated AF-X connector for swift and flawless installation
•
An activator for electronic activation
•
A transportation bracket to neutralize outflow pressure
