Electrical arcing and other malfunctions can easily start a fire inside of electrical equipment. Fires can start anywhere there is an electrical connection, and it's important to detect them right at their source. Firetrace systems detect fires using flexible tubing that can be installed anywhere a fire can start. If electrical equipment catches fire, the tubing bursts open, dousing the fire with NovecTM 1230. Unlike water or carbon dioxide, NovecTM 1230 will not damage sensitive electronics, making it ideal for electrical equipment.
Traditional fire detectors provide only a single point of detection. If a fire starts far away from the detector, then it may grow very large before triggering the detector. Firetrace systems detect fires with flexible tubing that can be placed throughout the equipment, providing instant detection at the source of a fire.
Firetrace systems uses the clean agent, NovecTM 1230 to suppress fires inside electrical equipment. Unlike water, carbon dioxide, and other chemicals, a clean agent is safe for electronics. It leaves no residue, so no cleanup is required. Finally, NovecTM 1230 is safe for people, which means you can use it to protect equipment and rooms where people are working.
Most fire suppression systems contain metal components. The problem with metal components is that they can cause electrical arcing. Since electrical arcing is the #1 cause of electrical fires, suppression systems with metal nozzles can actually increase fire risk. Firetrace DLP systems can deliver suppression gas straight through the detection tubing, eliminating the need for metal nozzles.
Firetrace systems are self-monitoring and do not need electricity to operate, therefore you will be continually protected without the threat of false alarms. Because no human intervention is required, you will have the peace of mind knowing your fire detection and suppression system is ready at all times.
