Pneumatic Heat Detection Tube

In this system, there is an extinguisher with the extinguishing agent with an actuating valve and a length of a specially designed heat detection tube which acts as the fire detection line and the feeder for the agent.
The system is activated when the temperature of the area of installation reaches a level of the temperature around the pipe which bursts the pipe with a small pressurised hole in the pipe, which allows the agent to direct the spray the agent on fire. This suppression system is ideal for Small machinery, electrical switch cabinets and fume cupboards. A very simple, cost-effective and easy to install solution, this is entry-level equipment for fire suppression.

Advantages

A small amount of agent required as it’s assumed it will attack the fire at the smouldering stage or at the beginning of a fire. No moving or electrical parts (low install cost and low maintenance cost.) No room integrity required. Can install in small intricate areas such as machinery. Can use many gases like HDC 227 ea, Co2, IG55. Cost-effective all-around – a small amount of agent required, no pipework, special design. Mobile – can take out and install elsewhere.

Not all fire suppression systems use gas to put out fires, but many do. Unlike water, powder, or foam fire suppression systems, gas suppression systems can put out fires without damaging equipment. Some gaseous fire suppression systems do not require any clean up at all after they put out a fire.

There are several different kinds of gases that can be used to suppress a fire. Some of the most common gases used in fire suppression systems are:

• Carbon dioxide (CO2)
• Clean agents, including HFC-227ea (FM200) and FK-5-1-12 (Novec 1230)
• Inert Gases, including Inergen
• Halon

We will discuss the properties, advantages, and disadvantages of each type of gaseous fire suppression system.

Chemical Clean Agent Fire Suppression Systems

Both HFC-227ea and FK-5-1-12 are types of chemicals used in clean agent fire suppression systems. Clean agents are commonly used to suppress fires in machinery and electrical equipment, because they do not damage components. Clean agents can also be used to protect occupied spaces, such as electrical rooms, because they are safe for people.

Clean agents are also safe for the environment; they do not cause ozone depletion and they have minimal global warming potential compared to alternatives.

HFC-227ea

HFC-227ea is one type of clean agent. The original manufacturer of HFC-227ea is ChemoursTM, who sell the chemical under the brand name FM-200TM. This clean agent functions by removing heat, which puts out a fire. HFC-227ea can also disrupt free radicals, which can help extinguish a fire by interfering with key chemical reactions.

HFC-227ea is a heptaflouropropane, which is a type of heptaflourocarbon (HFC). Although there are some environmental concerns with HFC’s, fire suppression systems are largely exempt from legislation that bans the use of HFC’s. That’s because fire suppression systems only contain a small amount of HFC’s and do not discharge them into the atmosphere frequently enough to cause significant environmental harm.

FK-5-1-12

FK-5-1-12 is another type of clean agent. The original manufactuer of FK-5-1-12 is 3MTM, who sell the chemical under the brand name NovecTM 1230. Until 2020, 3MTM had patent on FK-5-1-12, but the patent expires on July 31, 2020. Like HFC-227ea, FK-5-1-12 suppresses fires by removing heat.

Unlike HFC-227ea, FK-5-1-12 is a fluorinated ketone. Because FK-5-1-12 is not an HFC, it is generally considered more environmentally friendly. When it comes to environmental impact, the key difference between the two chemicals is their global warming potential (GWP). NovecTM 1230 has a lower global warming potential than FM200.

Carbon Dioxide (CO2) Fire Suppression Systems

Carbon dioxide is another commonly used gas in fire suppression systems. Like clean agents, carbon dioxide does not require clean up after discharge. Unlike clean agents, carbon dioxide puts out fires by removing oxygen, not heat. This is a critical difference, because it means that carbon dioxide can not be used in occupied spaces. Because carbon dioxide removes oxygen, it can suffocate people. If you are using a carbon dioxide system for fire suppression, make sure to completely ventilate the area if the system goes off. Only then is it safe for personnel to assess the damage.

We advise against using carbon dioxide for protection of electronic equipment due to the risk of thermal shock. Thermal shock occurs because carbon dioxide can be stored at extremely cold temperatures. When the carbon dioxide discharges, it can freeze electronic components, causing irreversible damage. Clean agents are a better choice for protection of electrical cabinets and other similar equipment.

Installing An Automatic Fire Suppression System In Mining Equipments

 

One of the reasons for fire related mishaps in mines could be due to the engine short in mining vehicles like trucks or dumpers .Fire accidents are one of the most hazardous accidents. It is capable of not only harming the explosion site but also can destroy the nearby assets and lives. Such mishaps can be prevented with regular servicing of mining vehicles along with the integration of fire suppressing aids. 

One of the effective ways to prevent any potential fire accidents can be by installing fire extinguishing units. However, the conventional portable fire extinguishers can be absolutely inconvenient and non-effective in the overall fire suppressing operation, to counter this problem My Port Services India presents the smart and most efficacious Automatic Fire Suppression System. 

 

This article will help you understand the top advantages of having an Automatic Fire Suppression System. 

 

 

Pre detection- Be absolutely sure about any probable fire hazards 

Did you ever wish that you were notified about any upcoming accident so that you could take the required measures to circumvent it? Well if you ever felt like that, then these Automatic Fire Suppression Systems are a perfect partner for you. Automatic Fire Suppression System can sense any overheat or fire conditions before the situation becomes too dangerous and gets out of hand. 

 

 

Real time Alerts

Now that you know that our Automatic Fire Suppression System is well aware about the potential accident it will ensure not withhold the information with itself and immediately start to indicate the condition with a buzzer sounding continuously to alert the operator to take the required steps to safeguard himself as well as the material. 

 

 

Immediate Engine Shutting off

As soon as the signs of fire or heat is detected, the engine is shut off automatically to cut down the fire activity to spread further thereby avoiding a severe mishap. 

 

 

Automatic Activation of Extinguishing System

This Automatic Fire Suppression System does not stop just by warning the driver and shutting the engine off, it also makes sure if in any case outspread of fire occurs the system will activate its extinguishing operation by the activation of Solenoid Valve on pressurized Pilot Cylinders leading to release of pressurized Nitrogen into DCP Cylinders, Manual Override facility. Propulsion of DCP through the hose network from the nozzles to extinguish the fire. The Engine Shutoff relay is also energized in the process, thereby shutting off the engine to prevent further spread of fire. 

 

 

By now you must have understood that this Automatic Fire Suppression System offers you a bunch of advantages that are undoubtedly crucial for your mining activities.

Substation fire protection systemAll electrical substations and main switchrooms need to be provided with a fire protection system.  This post try to provide beginners with some  pictures to help them grasp a minimum degree of basic understanding on fire protection systems for electrical substations.
If an electrical substation building is designed and constructed as a separate building, the provision of portable fire extinguishers as the sole form of fire protection may be accepted by authorities as adequate.

It is quite common for some local offices of the electricity supply authority and local offices of the Fire Department to follow this practise.

However, major substation rooms that are part of an occupied building are usually required to have some form of an automatic fire extinguishing system such as a CO2 system, or a clean agent fire extinguishing system.

What system to use
What fire protection system to be used for a substation depends on the preference of the design consultants, and the minimum requirements of the local Fire Authorities.

If the substation room involved is also to be handed over to the electric supply authority, then the minimum requirements and preferences of the local office of the electric supply authority should also be taken into account.

The fire authorities usually have an already established requirement of what system is required in a substation room.

The engineering consultant's design engineers usually prepare their initial designs based on these requirements.

These initial designs are then coordinated with the main building design which usually is the territory of the design architect for the building project.

Here I am talking about electrical substations and other electrical rooms of a building project.

Electrical substation buildings that belong to the electricity supply authorities' distribution network is a different matter altogether with regard to fire protection systems. This post does not cover those substations.

Gaseous (Novec-1230, FM-200, FE-36) clean agent gas flooding system for server and electrical room areea.

Detection : Fire/ SMoke Detecter
Panel : Gas release Panel
Function : Automatic gas flooding system

A FM-200 tube-based fire suppression system is a compact, automatic clean agent fire suppression system that uses FM-200 (Heptafluoropropane) as the extinguishing agent and a heat-sensitive detection tube to detect and suppress fires at their source — typically in enclosed spaces like electrical panels, control cabinets, server racks, and machinery compartments.

�� How a Tube-Based FM-200 System Works 1. Detection

• A special polymer detection tube is installed inside the enclosure.

• The tube is pressurized with nitrogen and routed close to high-risk components.

• It senses heat directly — no electrical power or sensors needed.

2. Activation

• When a fire starts, the temperature rises quickly.

• The tube softens and bursts at the hottest point (usually 100°C to 180°C).

• This drop in pressure triggers the FM-200 cylinder to release the agent.

3. Suppression

• FM-200 is discharged either:

  • Directly from the burst hole in the tube (Direct System), or

  • Through dedicated discharge nozzles (Indirect System).

• The agent floods the enclosure, quickly extinguishing the fire in seconds.

✅ Advantages of FM-200 Tube-Based Systems �� Types of Tube-Based Systems �� Typical Applications

• Electrical distribution panels

• Control cabinets

• CNC machines

• Server/network racks

• Medical equipment enclosures

• ATM machines

• Renewable energy systems (inverters, batteries)

⚙️ System Components �� Compliance & Certification

• UL 2166: Standard for FM-200

• NFPA 2001: Standard on Clean Agent Fire Extinguishing Systems

• ISO 14520: Gaseous fire-extinguishing systems

• CE certified systems for EU applications
