Automatic Fire Suppression System
Pleasure Boats | Small Vehicles | Machines | Electrical Cabinets
Designed to protect small enclosed spaces with greater risks of fire. Simple and easy to install, the BlazeCut T Series system operates automatically without any external power source. The extinguishing agent is stored in a tube, which also serves to apply extinguishing agent directly to the fire at its source. When a fire occurs, the combination of heat and internal pressure causes the tube to rupture, creating a nozzle, releasing the extinguishing agent.
BlazeCut Technology
- Compact: small footprint of the BlazeCut Tube with A, B, C and electrical fires class rating can protect almost any space
- No cylinder for storage required: the whole system can be placed inside the protected enclosure as there is no cylinder
- Cost-effective: long working life, automatic activation, zero maintenance beats the competition in cost-effectiveness
- Optional pressure switch and other additional components like signaling unit to perform further safety functions
- Clean and effective extinguishing agent: world-wide known and accepted HFC gas (HFC-227ea) fire agent
- No pressurisation needed: the system works by increasing pressure of the extinguishing agent when heated
- Automatic operation based on increased temperature: ideal for non-occupied spaces
- Fully independent: TxxxE system is operational 24/7 without any power supply
- Maintenance free during entire working life means zero maintenance costs
- Long working life: up to 10 years depending on the type of application
- No harm to protected enclosure when system discharged
- Simple installation: system easily secured by cable ties or clamps
- Pressure gauge to monitor the system pressure at any time
- Minimum operation temperatures: down to -40°C (-40°F)
- Maximum operation temperature: up to 90°C (194°F)
System Models and Technical Specifications
Sizing and Selection
Applications can be calculated by a simple process, measure the sealed enclosures Width x Height x Depth in metres or feet and this will calculate your required volume in m3 or ft3. Then refer to the chart below for the maximum volume protected for electrical or engine applications to select the suitable T Series model.
Note
the enclosure should be enclosed or have minimal ventilation. The T Series system is not suitable for open areas. For vehicle applications please refer to our application guide that can be found online at www.blazecut.com
*Letter “S” in model designation stands for an integrated pressure switch that allows connection of a signaling device of to perform a shutdown operation at time of agent discharge. TxxxE does not require power.
** Calculated design concentration 7% (Electrical Fires) and 9% (Engine Fires) and an ambient temperature of 20°C (68°F) for the enclosure.
Please note if a lower temperature is present the coverage potential will be reduced, please contact your local BlazeCut agent for further information.
Optional Components
The unique construction of the T Series system allows you to connect to the optional pressure switch which monitors the pressure inside the BlazeCut Tube.
Once the system is discharged the pressure switch sends a signal to a signaling unit or to an external device to perform other safety operations (e.g. disconnect the power or shut down the engine).
Pressure Switch
The integrated pressure switch monitors the pressure and sends a signal in case the pressure drops under a pre-set value or the system discharges in the event of a fire. System must be ordered with pressure switch TxxxES
Alarm Panel
The compact Audio-optical TAP200 dash mounted alarm panel for applications in vehicles, machines or boats. Features “OK”, “FAULT”, “FIRE” LED’s, 85dB fire alarm buzzer, 9-36v operation, IP65, Ø50mm and a fault monitoring system.
Signaling Unit
Simple and cost effective audio and/or visual signaling device for indoor and outdoor applications. Large range of options available to suit your needs.
Typical Applications
- Engine compartment of on-road vehicles (e.g. cars, vans, SUVs, classic
cars, performance cars, 4x4’s) - Engine compartment of other vehicles (e.g. quads, ride-on mowers, golf
carts, farming & agricultural equipment etc.) - Mobile Machinery (forklifts, excavators, skid steer, loaders, cranes,
small generators, lighting towers etc.) - Electrical switchboards, fuse boxes, battery compartments, MCC
cabinet, electrical charging stations etc. - IT servers, telecommunication cabinets, vending machines, ATM’s,
electric fuel bowsers etc. - 3D printers, laser cutter, audio visual equipment and many more.....
Extinguishing Agent
BlazeCut T Series system uses liquefied gas, HFC-227ea fire extinguishing agent. The extinguishing agent is a world-wide known and accepted gaseous clean agent used for total flooding fire suppression applications with very high effectivity, zero ozone depletion potential and safe to people. It is the agent of choice for protection of enclosures with advantages such as:
HFC-227ea is UL Recognised and FM Approved and is an environmentally preferred substitute for Halon 1301.
- Electrically non conductive
- Non corrosive
- Resistant to temperature changes
- Leaves no residue
- Does not damage equipment or objects
- Zero ozone depleting potential
