Fire spread


FOCUS


This leads to a number of benefits, which are summarised below: •


fast detection where the fire risk is – inside the enclosure


• • •


fast system activation and extinguishing – the extinguishing agent is released at the heart of the fire


fire events are prevented from spreading to neighbouring enclosures and equipment


individual system pressure switches can enable very targeted safeguarding actions, including de-energisation of selected power supplies, equipment shutdown, alarms etc


• less equipment down time, operational disruption and clean up from system discharge


•


lower cost than room fire suppression for initial install, ongoing service/ maintenance, refilling (smaller capacity system cylinders for targeted protection)


• •


less disruptive to install and easily retrofitted to existing equipment


systems are third party tested and certified to LPCB standard LPS 1666 – confirmed performance


• LPS 1666 is an emerging standard, increasingly recognised by world leading insurance companies


The LPS 1666 certified Jactone PAFSS solution is unique in approved electrical enclosure fire suppression, as it provides protection inside the enclosure and discharges at the heart of the fire, extinguishing quickly and preventing the fire from spreading to neighbouring equipment and the wider building. This can significantly reduce the risk of injury to personnel, as well as losses caused by equipment downtime and operational disruption
