Service Life of Aerosol Automatic Fire Extinguishers

January 19, 2024

Condensed aerosol automatic fire extinguishers are an advanced fire extinguishing equipment.

Due to its high efficiency, environmental protection, safety, and other advantages.

It is widely used in a variety of places, For example: vehicles, ships, airplanes, electricity, communication, etc.

However, the service life of hot condensed aerosol automatic fire extinguishing devices is a concern for everyone.

Our company will conduct a detailed discussion on the service life of aerosol automatic fire extinguishers.

We believe that several main factors affect the service life of aerosol fire suppression devices.

Factors Affecting the Service Life

Factor One: Manufacturing Materials

The manufacturing materials of hot aerosol automatic fire extinguishers have a significant impact on their service life. High-quality materials can better withstand harsh environments such as high temperatures and high pressure, extending the service life of equipment.

Factor Two: Operating Environment

The operation environment can also have an impact on its lifespan. If the equipment is installed in harsh environments such as high temperature, high humidity, and high corrosion, it will accelerate the aging of the equipment and shorten its service life.

Factor Three: Maintenance

Maintenance is also an important factor affecting its service life. Regular inspection, cleaning, replacement of vulnerable parts, and maintenance of equipment can extend its service life.

Factor Four: Production Process

High-quality production process technology can make the aerosol fire extinguishing device tank more airtight, waterproof, and dustproof, thereby preventing external bacteria and water molecules from entering the tank and extending product life.

How to extend the service life of aerosol fire extinguishing devices

Method One: Choose high-quality materials

As the saying goes: “You get what you pay for”.

When manufacturing hot aerosol automatic fire extinguishing devices, high-quality materials such as stainless steel and aluminum alloy should be selected to improve the durability and reliability of the equipment.

Method Two: Correct Installation and Reasonable Use

When installing and using hot aerosol automatic fire extinguishing devices, the impact of environmental factors on the equipment should be considered, and they should be installed in dry and well-ventilated places as much as possible, avoiding direct sunlight and humid environments.

At the same time, when using, attention should be paid to operating the equipment according to regulations to avoid damage caused by illegal operations.

Method Three: Regular maintenance of Aerosol-based Automatic Fire Extinguishers

Regular inspection, cleaning, replacement of vulnerable parts, and maintenance of hot aerosol chemical automatic fire extinguishers can extend the service life of the equipment.

At the same time, the enterprise should establish a sound maintenance system and designate a dedicated person to be responsible for the maintenance of the equipment.

Measurement Methods for Product Lifespan

There are many methods to measure the lifespan of a product, but a relatively simple and common approach is to conduct aging tests on the product to verify its lifespan.

There is a universal standard for conducting aging tests on aerosol fire extinguisher products.

Specific Steps for the Aging Test of Aerosol Automatic Fire Extinguishers

  • Put the finished product in the aging test chamber and start the machine for the aging test.
  • Adjust the test chamber to the appropriate aging temperature; And adjust to the corresponding number of days.
  • Heat continuously in the test chamber and maintain for the specified number of days.
  • After reaching the test duration, close the test chamber and remove the aerosol fire extinguisher.
  • We should reignite and restart the product which has undergone an accelerated aging test. If it can start and extinguish the fire normally, it indicates that the product’s lifespan has reached the lifespan specified in the aging test.

The following is a temperature and timetable for the accelerated aging test:

Temperature    (T,℃) Product accelerated aging test time (T, DAYS)
1 Year 2        Years 3        Years 4        Years 5        Years 6        Years 7        Years 8        Years 9        Years 10        Years
80 25 33 49 65 81 97 113 129 146 160
85 NA NA 35 46 57 69 80 92 103 113
90 NA NA NA 33 41 49 57 65 73 80
95 NA NA NA NA 29 35 40 46 52 56
100 NA NA NA NA NA NA 29 33 37 40
105 NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA 26 28
110 NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA
115 NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA

 

Based on the aging test, our aerosol fire extinguishing system products have a lifespan of more than 10 years.

The Necessity of Accelerated Aging Test

All products have a lifespan, and products need to undergo accelerated aging tests to prove how long their lifespan can reach.

There are many manufacturers in society who casually disclose the lifespan of their products, but these manufacturers have not conducted any tests on product lifespan.

If the product undergoes aging tests, it proves the manufacturer’s strength and gives buyers and consumers greater confidence.

The Conclusion

The hot aerosol automatic fire extinguishing device is an efficient, environmentally friendly, and safe fire extinguishing equipment, widely used in various places.

To extend its service life, we should select high-quality materials and install equipment reasonably, carry out regular maintenance, and strengthen the production process.

At the same time, users should develop good maintenance habits to ensure the normal operation and effectiveness of the equipment.
