AEROSOL EXTINGUISHING SYSTEMS

The Solid Potassium Extinguishing System is designed for use in rockets or space shuttles. It has been developed to be used in all environments where there is a risk of fire, considering the positive values it provides. It consists of compressed micronized solid potassium and is non-conductive.

In closed areas where there is no continuous human life (warehouse, archive, information system rooms and similar), oxygen reduction systems that prevent fire formation and have national or international certification systems subject to accreditation are applied. In this context, aerosol extinguishing systems are in the category of gaseous and dry powder fire extinguishing systems in accordance with European Union norms.

DSPA is ideal for fixed extinguishing system applications. It is a fire extinguishing technology that you can rely on in computer and server rooms, generator and engine rooms, electrical cabinets and many other rooms or areas containing critical (production) processes.

NFPA2010 standard has been determined for use in closed areas. CEN-15276-1 studies are available. Potassium particles of 1-2 microns in size are released into the environment by entering into a chemical reaction as a result of the triggering of the solid substance, and the particles suspended in this air extinguish the fire chemically.  These extinguishers can also extinguish for a closed volume. It is necessary to select the required and approved amount of extinguisher for the volume to be protected.

During the reaction, heating may occur around the device, so device selection and placement requires expertise. In large areas, extinguishing can be created by activating many units at the same time.

Extinguishing Mechanism:

Unlike many other extinguishing agents, DSPA Aerosol interferes with the chain reaction in a fire, leaving oxygen levels intact.

OH, H and O radicals released as a result of combustion support combustion. DSPA Aerosol suppresses the fire first by chemically interfering with these free radicals in the fire zone, thus interrupting the chain reaction necessary for the fire to continue.

DSPA Aerosol is a fire extinguishing agent consisting of finely divided solid particles, mainly potassium particles, typically about 2 microns in diameter. The small aerosol particles provide a large surface area to capture these radicals, making them effective extinguishing agents.

Aerosol systems can be designed using UL 2775, EN15276 – 1/2 and NFPA 2010 standards according to the standard applicable in your country. When designing, especially the amount of extinguishing agent required by the standard you use should be calculated by determining the actual application density by expanding it with a 30% safety factor. The area to be protected with aerosol systems should be examined very well, the protection design of the system should be determined by a trained application engineer, and the field layout should be made in accordance with the manufacturer’s manual and design standard.

Aerosol systems can be installed manually, with detection support or thermocord (self-activation). When electrical activation is used, it can be integrated into the general detection system of your facility via the control panel used. In particular, Aerosol Extinguishing System for each independent section is designed and installed independently.

The DSPA – 8 product group is especially designed for manual use. It is designed for fire brigades and extinguishing teams of industrial facilities to activate the product by pulling the pin and send it to the fire area.
