Our indirect release systems use heat and flame sensitive Firetrace Detection Tubing as a fire detection and system activation device, not as the discharge tube.

Our direct release systems utilize heat and flame sensitive Firetrace Detection Tubing as a detection device and for suppressant delivery.

Make safety a priority with an indirect high-pressure (IHP) CO2 system. Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a colorless, odorless, electrically non-conductive gas that is highly effective at suppressing a wide variety of Class A, B, and C fires. In areas with delicate electronic equipment, such as server rooms and data rooms, and storage areas with potentially combustible materials, sprinkler systems are not the ideal extinguishing agent. Typically, in those environments with valuable machinery and lots of people working you will find clean agent fire suppression systems. These use manufactured, inert gasses to suppress fires. However, in areas with no building personnel like engine rooms, power stations, and around large industrial machines, CO2 fire suppression systems may be the most effective fire protection systems.

Many commercial and industrial facilities are protected by sprinkler systems that use water as a suppressant. However, especially in rooms containing critical electronic systems, water can cause almost as much damage as fire.

Firetrace’s fire protection – direct release systems utilize the Firetrace tube as both the “detection device” and “suppressant delivery”. As the fire begins, the portion of the tube nearest the point where the most heat is detected ruptures, forming an effective spray nozzle. The pressure will then drop as the Firetrace tube releases the entire contents of the cylinder through the distribution nozzle to effectively suppress the fire. More than one Firetrace tube can be used enabling the system to cover more area. Our fire suppression systems are critical for safety and protecting your valuable equipment.

Firetrace’s fire protection – indirect release systems use the Firetrace Tube as a “Fire Detection” and “System Activation” device, not as the discharge tube. Once the tubing senses the fire, it then ruptures – resulting in a drop of pressure causing the Indirect Valve to activate. This diverts flow from the detection tube to the larger outlet ports.

The Firetrace Indirect CO2 fire suppression system uses the Firetrace Tubing as a ‘Fire Detection’ and ‘System Activation’ Device, not as the discharge tube. Once the tubing senses the fire, the tube then ruptures and the resulting drop in pressure causes the indirect valve to activate. Carbon dioxide (CO2) is then discharged from the cylinder through a fixed piping network and out of the diffuser nozzles, flooding the area with agent and suppressing the fire quickly and thoroughly*. Multiple diffuser nozzles may be added to meet the application requirements.

Clean agent chemical gaseous fire protection systems reach extinguishing levels in seconds.
