When using an automatic fire suppression system for CNC machines, the patented detection pipe is able to quickly detect an incipient fire. Apart from that, it is possible to have a second detection method, such as an aspiration system, controlprotega Solutions the suppression system in parallel.
For many CNC Machines, Protega Solutions recommends the use of a suppression system with FK5. FK5 is a liquid at room temperature. When suppressing a fire, FK5 extracts heat from the fire which terminates the chemical reaction, so the fire is cooled and immediately extinguished. Because of the cooling effect, the risk the fire re-igniting is non-existent. During a suppression, all unused FK5 immediately evaporates, and within 5 days the product has totally absorbed in the atmosphere.
FK5 has absolutely no effect on any equipment. Nothing has to be cleared away, cleaned or repaired as a result of the extinguishing of a fire.
Important requirements for an automatic fire suppression system in CNC machines are:
- Fast and reliable detection.
- Fast and assured suppression of the fire.
- Prevention of re-ignition of the fire.
- Use of extinguishing agents which do not damage sensitive equipment.
