Detect

Firetrace fire suppression systems keep your business, people and equipment safe by automatically detecting and suppressing fires in high-risk equipment, like electrical panels, CNC machines, vehicles, and wind turbines.

Activate

When the detection tubing bursts, there is a pressure change in the system. This activates a valve, which releases gas or powder stored in the cylinder. Unlike fire extinguishers, Firetrace systems do not require manual operation. However, systems can be manually operated by pushing a button called the manual release.

Suppress

Firetrace systems contain NovecTM 1230 designed for putting out fires. These are called suppression agents. The suppression agent puts out the fire by eliminating the heat. When the system activates, the agent travels from the cylinder to the protected space, either directly through the detection tube or through connected hoses and nozzles.
