Design of the AF-X Fireblocker
General description of the AF-X Fireblocker:
1)
The AF-X Fireblocker has a stainless-steel casing and comes in various shapes and sizes see annex 1.
2)
The AF-X Fireblocker contains a solid, aerosol-forming compound (“SAFCO”).
3)
Each container is equipped with a special system for independent activation of the AF-X Fireblocker.
4)
All types are equipped with a heat absorbing mechanism (insulation).
A tension of 6-36 V (Direct Current) on the AF-X Fireblocker and an electric current of at least 1,0 amperes for 1-2
seconds activates the extinguishing agent and convert it into dispersed 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.
