CT – Direct Release
CT system utilizes the Detection tube as both the detection device and ColdFire® suppressant delivery system. The Detection Tube adjacent to the fire ruptures and forms an effective spray nozzle. The Detection Tube releases the entire contents of ColdFire® in the cylinder through the Detection Tube to effectively suppress the fire. More than one Detection Tube can be used enabling the system to cover more area. This system was designed to only work for a very small defined area. The system is totally automatic, has no moving parts, and is totally independent of electricity. System can be filled at the factory with your choice of liquid ColdFire® based on temperature requirements. All systems must be pressurized to 175psi using ONLY Nitrogen gas.
CTX – Indirect Release
CTX system uses the Detection Tube as a fire detection and system activation device. Once the Detection Tubing senses the fire, the tube ruptures and the resulting drop in pressure causes the CTX Valve to activate. This diverts most of the flow from the Detection Tube to the larger Discharge ports. ColdFire® is then discharged from the cylinder through the Detection Tubing and Discharge Tubing to the Nozzles, covering the area and suppressing the fire quickly and thoroughly. This system is typically used in larger areas that require a high volume of ColdFire® to effectively suppress the fire. Multiple nozzles may be added to meet the application requirements. The system is totally automatic and is totally independent of electricity. The suppressant has to be added during field installation with your choice of liquid ColdFire® based on temperature requirements. All systems must be pressurized to 175psi using ONLY Nitrogen gas.
HH – Hand Held Units
Hand Held units consist of Stainless Steel cylinders with valves, gauges, nozzles, and hoses as required. Extinguishers can be filled at the factory with your choice of liquid ColdFire® based on temperature requirements. Units may be filled and charged in the field by the end user. All systems must be pressurized to 175psi using ONLY Nitrogen gas.
MS – Manual System
Manual System units are available in a verity of kit sizes and system operation. Units consist of Stainless Steel cylinders with manual push or remote cable pull for system activation. Nozzles and tubing are installed as required per application. Cylinders can be filled at the factory with your choice of liquid ColdFire® based on temperature requirements. The MS system were designed to be rapidly refilled and charged by the end user at the race track for driver safety. All systems must be pressurized to 175psi using ONLY Nitrogen gas.
SC – Self Contained
Self Contained systems:
RVHSC – RV Horizontal Self-Contained
RVVSC – RV Vertical Self-Contained
SC – Self Contained Other
Units consist of a stainless steel cylinder, SC valve, and a quick-response sprinkler head attached. The systems are automatic, with no moving parts, and totally independent of electricity. When the thermal rated sensing head opens it releases the complete cylinder contents. The release which is then spread in an approximate 10 * foot diameter by a dissipater attached to the sprinkler head. System can be filled at the factory with your choice of liquid ColdFire® based on temperature requirements. All systems must be pressurized to 175psi using ONLY Nitrogen gas.
* 10′ diameter was based on a 3′ mounting height.
