I-Protect

Automatic Detection and Suppression System
Background

Electrical malfunction and auto-ignition exposed to heat are known to be two of the most common causes of fires.The most significant aspect of preventing electrical fires or combustion fires in confined spaces, is early detection.

I-PROTECT was designed to mitigate the risk of injuries and fatalities, but also to minimise equipment damage as far as reasonably practical. I-PROTECT is an ideal solution for restricted, small enclosures or rooms containing electrical equipment.

Pressurised Fire Detection Tubing
I-Protect

It is a low-pressure pneumatic automatic fire suppression system that is a direct, quick response application. The system consists of linear heat detection tubing pressurised with nitrogen, and a cylinder filled with CLEAVOS 1230 which is an odourless, non-hazardous, clear and non-corrosive fire suppression agent.

The linear heat detection tubing ruptures when exposed to elevated temperatures and suppresses the fire at the source of ignition.

The I-PROTECT low pressure automatic fire suppression system will ensure
  • Minimal to no property damage
  • High system reliability due to the pure pneumatic functionality and independence from a power source
  • A decrease in the number of false alarms
  • High risk components in constricted/confined spaces are protected due to the flexible nature of the fire detection tubing
  • A safer working environment for personnel
  • Lower installation and servicing costs due to the functional simplicity of the system
