Condensed Aerosol Fire Suppression for Different Environment

We Have Three Series of Aerosol Device

Many customers after having a look at our condensed aerosol fire suppression system, showed a lot of interest, but they did even not know how to choose our different models and types because for aerosol products we have three basic series, there are: floor standing series, wall mounted series and minisol fixed series.

Firstly, the Floor Series of Aerosol Suppression Device

The standing series is square and could be red color painted or silver-white color painted, their size is normally 400*300*680mm and 600*300*680mm, or another special design size, with 2.5 kilograms to 10 kilograms of aerosol extinguishing compound filling inside, the main models are as below:
. AW-QRR2.5LW/S.
. AW-QRR5LW/S.
. AW-QRR7.5LW/S.
. AW-QRR10LW/S.

As we can see, it just needs to be put in the ground to install, it is large and filled with a large quality aerosol compound in kilograms, so it is suitable to install in some spaces with a volume of more than several tens of cubic meters or for some large projects, and also there must be some leftover space to put the device on corner of the ground, such as:
. Computer rooms.
. Telecommunication rooms.
. Data processing rooms.
. Power transformer substations.
. Cable vault, cable trench, and cable well.
. National Library.
. Museums.
. Archives.
. The large size of low and high-voltage power distribution rooms.
. Large power generator rooms etc.

It is recommended to install it in a bigger space because it is more economical in pricing, Especially the power distributing room, computer room, library, museum, etc are more suitable to use this style.

Secondly, the mounted series of Aerosol Fire Suppression Device

Wall mounted series is cylindrical and could be red color painted or silver white color painted, their size is normally diameter 300*700mm or diameter 300*800mm, or other special design sizes, with 2.5 kilograms to 10 kilograms of aerosol extinguishing compound filling inside, the main models are as below:
. AW-QRR5GW/S.
. AW-QRR7.5GW/S.
. AW-QRR10GW/S.

As we can see, it needs to be installed on the wall or the top ceiling, it is in median size and large aerosol compound quality in kilograms, it is also suitable for installation in some spaces with a volume of more than several tens of cubic meters or a large project, it better to install in the site that requires to install on the wall or the ceiling, such as:
. Computer room.
. Telecommunication room.
. Power transformer room.
. Underground pipe gallery.
. Power distributing room.
. Power generating room.
. Data processing room etc.

It is recommended to install in the median size of space and install where there is little space left on the ground to put a fire extinguishing device because it is more economical in pricing and space-saving by installing it on the ceiling or the wall.
Especially the underground pipe gallery and wind power energy industry are better to use this kind of.

Thirdly, Minisol Fixed Series of Aerosol Suppression Device

Minisol Condensed Aerosol Fire Suppression Device Models

Minisol fixed series aerosol is also in cylindrical size, it is 304 stainless cylinders in silver white color (stainless steel color), the size is very small or smaller, the minimum size is the diameter of 51*95mm and the maximum size is the diameter of 219*295mm, with 0.03 kilograms to 3 kilograms of aerosol extinguishing compound filling inside, the main models are as below:
. AW-QRR0.03GW/S (30 gram).
. AW-QRR0.06GW/S (60 gram).
. AW-QRR0.1GW/S (100 gram).
. AW-QRR0.15GW/S (150 gram).
. AW-QRR0.2GW/S (200 gram).
. AW-QRR0.25GW/S (250 gram).
. AW-ARR0.3GW/S (300 gram).
. AW-QRR0.5GW/S (500 gram).
. AW-QRR0.75GW/S (750 gram).
. AW-QRR1GW/S (1000 gram).
. AW-QRR1.5GW/S (1500 gram).
. AW-QRR2GW/S (2000 gram).
. AW-QRR2.5GW/S (2500 gram).
. AW-QRR3GW/S (3000 gram).

Because:

• It is a tiny size product, it is versatile and flexible, and it can install everywhere even in small enclosed cabinet spaces by using a special design of installation brackets and screws (sometimes using 3M glue or magnet to install).
• It is a small compound quality of kilograms, it is suitable to install in narrow spaces, such as an electrical cabinet, control panel, auto vehicle engine compartment, wind turbine engine, and battery box.
• It also can be applied in some larger spaces, for example, 30-gram, 60-gram, 100-gram, 150 gram are very suitable to install on small electrical boards, 100-gram, 150-gram, 200-gram, 250 gram one are very suitable to install in wind turbine engines space, 250 gram, 500 gram, 750 gram one is very suitable for auto vehicle engine compartment, 1000 gram, 1500 gram, 2000 gram, 2500 gram, 3000 gram one is very suitable for install in the power generator room, power distribution room, computer room, substation room and any other spaces with several tens of volumes in cubic meters.

Main Application Range

As it is versatile, flexible, and small in size, people can install it everywhere inside and outside the protection room (protection object), such as:
. Telecommunication rooms.
. Power transformer rooms.
. Distributing rooms.
. Power-generating rooms.
. Data processing rooms.
. Electrical cabinet space.
. Electrical control box and board.
. Vehicle auto engine compartments, like buses, cars, coaches, and trucks.
. Wind power energy compartment.
. CNC machines, printing machines, ATMs, and so on.

Installation Case Analysis

For some projects it is very complicated, not only does the room need to be protected but also the electrical cabinet or machines need to be protected as well, in this condition both Floor standing Aerosol (or wall-mounted aerosol) and mini fixed aerosol fire extinguishing devices are required to install.

For example, a computer server room is 20 meters in length, 15 meters in width, and 4 meters in height, there are 60 sets of cabinets inside the room and their size are 60 centimeters in length, 50 centimeters in width, and 2 meters in height, we are planning to design aerosol fire extinguishing device as a fire solution, then we install wall-mounting or floor standing aerosol for the whole room and the Minisol aerosol fire extinguisher for the cabinet, design details as below:

• 1. Calculate the room size, it is 20x15x4 and comes to 1500 cubic meters.
• 2. Confirm how many quality Floor Standing Aerosol (or wall mounted) are needed to use in the room, confirm the quality as per this formula:
  https://www.awarefire.com/simple-aerosol-fire-suppression-system-calculation-formula/, here we calculate out it is 25 sets of AW-QRR10LW/S (or AW-QRR10GW/S) is required as per the formula. (remark: design application density is 0.14 kilograms per cubic meter).
• 3. Calculate the cabinet size, it is: 0.6×0.5×2 comes to 0.6 cubic meters.
• 4. Confirm which model of Minisol fixed aerosol is required to install inside the server cabinet, hereby we use AW-QRR0.6GW/S (60 grams), because AW-QRR0.6GW/S is for protection of 0.6 cubic meters, and each server cabinet needs to install one set, total 60 sets are needed.

Supporting and Compatible Facilities and Equipment

Okay, when people install our aerosol products for their ongoing project, they will always ask: “Do you also have a fire alarm system?”, “How can we connect a fire alarm system with your products?”, “do we need to design a fire alarm system together with your aerosol products?” etc.

For these questions, our answer is “Yes”, we can provide fire alarm systems as per clients’ requirements, but how to design and connect a fire alarm system with our aerosol systems is divided into 2 parts:

• Part 1, If connected with our floor standing or wall mounted aerosol or big size Minisol fixed aerosol fire extinguishing device for total flooding purposes, then it needs to work with the fire alarm system and its components, there are gas fire control panel, smoke detector, heat detector, gas release indicator, sounder strobe, fire alarm bell, emergency hold/abort buttons, auto/manual switcher, see the articles of complete fire extinguishing system
• Part 2, if direct-to-source then use the small or medium-sized Minisol aerosol extinguishing device and protect the electrical cabinet, vehicle engine compartment, wind turbine energy, battery box, or some other small enclosed space or some particular space, then it does not require to have a fire alarm system to work with Minisol aerosol, because the Minisol aerosol is automatic and can be used without any outer power supply.

In these articles, there are many installation photos you can see, that all the installed mini aerosol devices work standalone without any power supply and without connecting and designing with fire alarm systems together. (Remark: in some vehicle engine rooms if customers have special requirements for installing fire alarm systems, we can design to use them also, for this issue if there is any doubt please contact us for a further discussion).

Some people will say “I just want to have a fire detection to work with your aerosol device, how can we fulfill this function?”, okay this is easy we have a special fire detection product called “Thermal Activation Generator”, and it can detect out fire at its rated temperature 45℃, 70℃, 93℃, 110℃ after detecting out a fire it can activate the Minisol aerosol automatically by sending out a small current, this is the product links:
