Do I have to replace the 

HY-3 pack

 (liquid supply)  each 

time the unit has performed a fog expulsion, including 
false alarms?

No, 

BANDIT

 consumes ~28 ml. of HY-3 fluid each second 

of fog expulsion. A fully charged reservoir contains 

                                                   ~1400 ml.of HY-3 fluid. The unit can perform ~ 50 

seconds of fog expulsion. Depending on the adjusted fog 
expulsion period each alarm cycle leaves, a minimum of 
3 (big spaces, 200 M² with normal ceiling height of 2,80 
metre) to a maximum of 25 expulsion cycles in reserve. If 
the liquid level is beneath the adjusted minimum level, 
the unit will request to replace the 

HY-3 

pack. See page 

22 for further explanation.

What does replacing of the 

HY-3 pack 

mean?.

The 

HY3-pack 

is an ingenious combination of different parts:

- A pressure vessel: 2 pressure resistant stainless steel tubes. These contain the 

HY-3

 

liquid and the propellant under pressure, equal to the vapour pressure of the liquid 
pressure gas and the nitrogen after pressure filling. Both gasses are not inflammable, 
are ozone friendly and are not poisonous for humans or the environment.

- The electro valve: together with the liquid filter it forms an integral subpart of the HY-3 

pack. If the valve is opened by the 

BANDIT

-electronics, the  

HY-3

 liquid goes through 

the 

HY-3 pack

 ‘s liquid link in the hot heat exchanger for heating up and drying.

- The electronics: built-in to the 

HY-3 pack

. This little PCB contains a voltage regulator,  

temperature- and memory chip and a few components which take care of the 
communication with 

BANDIT

 main PCB. The purpose of these electronics is to 

“measure” how much fluid is present in the pressure vessel and to store all production 
and filling data of the 

HY-3 pack

.

If the pressure vessel is empty, you’ll have to replace it with a refilled one. The pressure 
vessel has to be returned for refilling. There, the still present fluid and propellant will be 
sucked out and recycled. The empty 

HY-3 pack

 will be automatically tested and refilled. 

The built-in memory chip will be updated and the “renewed” 

HY-3 pack

 is carefully re-

packed  to be sent to the customer.
This way, environment taxes and material costs are minimised. The high certainty of 
returning the empty 

HY-3 packs 

 for refilling is secured through the high purchase price 

for a new 

HY-3 pack

.

Does the 

HY-3

 fluid in the 

HY-3 

pack expire (decay) or does it loose its fog generating 

capacity after a certain period?

Contrary to those fog generators which hold their supply of fog fluid in a synthetic 
reservoir,  the 

HY-3

 fluid in the 

HY-3 pack

 is kept in an oxygen free, pressure 

environment, Ph stabilised, de-ionised, clean filled and hermetically sealed off from the 
outside world. Degeneration in the 

HY-3

 pack is thereby eliminated.
