There are many situations where dealing with a fire at its source will minimise the damage to valuable assets and enable a quicker recovery of operations. It is for these situations that we developed Jactone PAFSS automatic fire suppression systems.
PAFSS (Pneumatically Actuated Fire Suppression Systems) detects automatically at the source of a fire and suppresses it early before it can develop further and spread. PAFSS systems offer peace of mind for those looking to protect their assets and personnel from the risk of fire.
PAFSS systems protect a range of applications and assets, including:
• Electrical cabinets and enclosures
• Laboratory fume cupboards
• Commercial kitchens
• Residential kitchens
• CNC machines
• Renewable energy
• Vehicle engine bays
At the heart of any PAFSS system is the special detection tubing which acts as a linear heat and flame detector. PAFSS detection tubing is completely flexible and is installed throughout the risk areas of the enclosure, providing fast and effective detection.
When the system detection tubing is exposed to flame or high ambient temperature, it ruptures with a burst at the hottest point and the drop in pressure activates the cylinder valve. The extinguishing agent is then discharged from the connected cylinder through either the burst hole (Direct Systems) or pipework (Indirect Systems) at the heart of the fire.
Dealing with a fire situation at the source in this manner means that the fire is extinguished extremely quickly and prevents the fire from spreading to neighbouring enclosures, equipment and the wider building. This significantly reduces the risk of injury to personnel and losses caused by equipment downtime and operational disruption.
PAFSS is on guard 24 hours a day, 365 days a year
