Hot Aerosol Fire Extinguishing Generators and Agents Technologies

The development of hot aerosol fire suppression technology

Generally, hot aerosol fire extinguishing technology has developed from a generation I oil tank suppression system to a generation III strontium salt based S-type system. S-type hot aerosol fire extinguishing technology greatly solves the corrosion problem of electrical devices and electronics compared to potassium salt based generation I & II hot aerosol fire extinguishing technology.

The original of fireless?

Fireless is developed from Chinese Military smoke technology and has been widely only used in Chinese military for several decades, in recently years, it is transferred to civil use. Fireless technology is not a company technology, it is on behalf of Chinese military technology. It carry out the Weapon Equipment Quality Certification System, which is the only aerosol fire technology in China.

History of aerosol in China:

First generation smoke extinguishing

The first generation of aerosol extinguishing technology, also known as smoke extinguishing technology, was born in China in the early 1960s. It is completed by the scientific research personnel of tianjin fire research institute of public security. They independently developed the smoke automatic fire extinguishing system, which is mainly used to extinguish the fire of liquid storage tanks of category a, b and c.This is a new fire-fighting technology which is different from the past. It includes both smoke and fog, fine solid particles, and aerosols formed by water vapor, N2 and CO2.

Second generation K aerosol extinguishing

K-type aerosol fire-extinguishing technology, also known as potassium salt fire-extinguishing technology, is the second stage of the development of aerosol fire-extinguishing technology, developed by Beijing institute of technology.The aerosol generator mainly uses nitrate of potassium as the main oxidant, and its spray has high extinguishing efficiency, but because it contains a large number of potassium ions, it is easy to absorb moisture, forming a sticky conductive material.This substance is very destructive to electronic equipment, so k-type aerosol automatic fire extinguishing device cannot be used in electronic equipment and precision instruments.Use in the market is declining rapidly.

Third generation S aerosol extinguishing

The third generation of aerosol type (S) is mainly composed of strontium salt background antioxidant, and the second generation of potassium (K) aerosol, strontium ions not hygroscopic, won't form a conductive solution, will not cause damage to electrical equipment, In 2001, after strict inspection and verification, China mobile communications group finally selected strontium salt aerosol to protect its communication base stations and other places equipped with precision electronic equipment. At present, strontium salt aerosol products have been used in thousands of engineering projects, so far there has been no accident of damage to electronic equipment, the third generation of aerosol has been more and more accepted by the majority of users.
