Firetrace’s fire protection – indirect release systems use the Firetrace Tube as a “Fire Detection” and “System Activation” device, not as the discharge tube. Once the tubing senses the fire, it then ruptures – resulting in a drop of pressure causing the Indirect Valve to activate. This diverts flow from the detection tube to the…
Firetrace’s fire protection – direct release systems utilize the Firetrace tube as both the “detection device” and “suppressant delivery. As the fire begins, the portion of the tube nearest the point where the most heat is detected ruptures, forming an effective spray nozzle. The pressure will then drop as the Firetrace tube releases the…
The pictures illustrate deployment example, where Firetrace Systems have performed exactly as they were designed to react and they successfully ceased the fire at its source. The installation was in a large facility that had experienced fires previously but could not prevent substantial damage because the fires started in Electrical Cabinets and were undetected until…
