There are always many clients will ask how to start up the aerosol mini fire extinguishers after they buy from us, and many people know about electrical activation but do not know of some other activation methods we have; some customers even don’t know how to choose the different activation for their product, and don’t know which activation method of our aerosol generators is better.
ABOUT these questions and doubts about aerosol fire extinguisher’s activation matter, hereby we describe clearly as follows:
The electrical activation method, med andra ord, är “activated by electrical cable”, “electrically activation”, eller “activated by outer power supply”.
You can imagine that electrical activation needs an external power supply and need electrical cable to connect the aerosol-based mini fire extinguishers to the power supply.
Electrical activation is always used with fire alarm systems, including fire control panels, heat detectors, smoke detectors, fire alarms, manuella larmknappar, startknappar, hotter and horn, etc.
Many fire project installations are using this ELECTRICAL ACTIVATION type of aerosol generator, because other systems like FM200 fire suppression, IG541 fire suppression, CO2 fire suppression, and ABC Super-Fine Dry Chemical fire suppression systems all need electrical activation and fire alarm systems when clients turn to use our aerosol fire extinguisher system instead they will require electrically activation type.
So the activation type of mini aerosol generator is mostly for covering a small room for total flooding, such as the data processing room, the computer room, the power generator room, the library, museerna, etc.
Do not know what is the thermal cord? okay please see the below photo to show you what it looks like:
Normally the Thermal Cord has 2 rated temperatures, one is 175℃ and another is 300℃, the blue color is 175℃ and the red color is 300℃.
Most users choose the 175℃ type, but if you like you can install it in the extra high-temperature environment room then you can choose 300℃ of thermal cord.
Do not know how the thermal cord works? okay please also see the below:
Working Principle of the Thermal Cord:
Hereby we can see that it is automatic to activate the generator when there is a fire, and the thermal cord can detect the fire itself.
This is simple and easy to start up the generator, so the thermal cord activation type of aerosol generators is most used in the following:
For more details about thermal cords please also refer to this article Spontaneous combustion type thermal cord detector
Thermo bulb another named “glass bulb“, is a thermal activation device that can be assembled in the aerosol body, to form a standalone fire suppression.
The thermal bulb has rated temperatures of 57℃, 68℃, 79℃, and 93℃.
The working principle of thermo bulb aerosol is like this listed below:
The thermal bulb has two main characteristics: firstly, it actively detects the ambient temperature, but can automatically activate the mini fire extinguishers.
About thermo bulb, there is another article that you also may be interested in, please refer to this link: Technical Ways to Start-up Aerosol Systems Successfully
And see the SECOND WAY in the article.
It means the activation modes are: electric start together with thermal cord start.
It means that: the electric start works with the thermo bulb start.
