13 Versions of the ECO-Cube unit
In addition to the basic version, the filter unit "ECO-Cube" can be ordered in an extended or modified
version by adding different functionalities:
•
Version "preparation for CO2-extinguishing installation"
13.1 Version "preparation for CO2-extinguishing installation"
The version
"
preparation for CO2-extinguishing installation
"
is equipped with an extinguish-
ing installation that can support a manual extinguishing of a fire within the filter unit by means of
CO². The service door of the filter cartridges (pos. 4) must be replaced by a special door with a
fire-fighting pipeline.
It is possible, that the service door still has been mounted by factory.
In addition, the filter unit is equipped with a particle sensor that detects an excessive smoke de-
velopment (fire, break of the filter, etc.) inside the filter unit.
When the particle sensor is triggered, the filter units switches off as a precaution, the signal
hooter is activated and the error message "particle sensor" is shown on the display of the con-
trol.
In this case the operator must immediately switch off the upstream machine
tool.
Inappropriate handling of the extinguishing installation may lead
to significant risks. There is a threat of icing and asphyxiation.
The operator must clarify in advance which measures must be taken in
case of fire. The CO2-extinguishing installation must only be used when
detecting a fire inside the filter unit if there is no danger outside the filter
unit that contradicts it. Follow the instructions in chapter
"Behaviour in
case of fire"
.
The particle sensor must not be used as basis of a fire protec-
tion concept. It is not indented to be a part of a fire detection
system.
The particle sensor is intended to detect excessive smoke or dust de-
velopment. This does not necessarily mean that the cause is a fire.
Therefore an activation of the particle sensor may not automatically
trigger the CO2-extinguishing action. It must be checked via visual in-
spection through the window of the service door if there is a fire, flames
or pockets of embers.
