Fire Protection

The I-CAT Vehicle Suppression Systems are pre-engineered systems utilising I-PROTECT linear heat detection tubing as well as specialised discharge nozzles to safely and efficiently suppress fires and cool down engine compartments, wheel arches and brake cooling systems to a safe working temperature on buses (BSS), heavy duty mechanical vehicles (VSS) and armoured vehicles (AVSS).

In-cab water mist suppression systems are also available.

In-Cab Water Mist Suppression Systems
  • This technology is currently the leading misting technology internationally. The system creates a fine atomised mist, charged with kinetic energy to penetrate the heat radiation caused by a fire. It leads to gradual cooling without causing thermal shock to the equipment. A foam additive is added to the system to prevent any class B fire from spreading when fuel lines or hydraulic lines rupture, causing equipment fires.
  • Vehicle Suppression Systems can be installed with a water mist in cab protection system aimed at protecting human life in case of a vehicle fire.
  • The specialised pneumatic tubing will detect a fire at elevated temperatures. When used in conjunction with the I-CAT Vehicle Suppression System, it offers a highly reliable detection and system activation methodology.
