Firetrace To Show UL & FM Approved Protection
The tried-and-tested system is unique among tube-operated systems to have approval and accreditation from such world renowned organisations as UL [Underwriters Laboratories], FM [Factory Mutual], and more than 25 other independent accreditation and approvals agencies. FIRETRACE is also CE [Conformité Européene or European Conformity] marked, which confirms that it complies with the essential requirements of the relevant European health, safety and environmental protection legislation. It also stands apart from its competitors by being able to be supplied with a variety of suppression agents, the choice of which is tailored to the precise fire risk.
Currently, the FIRETRACE suppression options include the latest environmentally-acceptable clean agents such as 3M, Novec, 1230 Fire Suppression Fluid and DuPont FM-200®, together with ABC dry chemical agents and AFFF foam. CO2 [carbon dioxide] is another FIRETRACE extinguishant, although the company points out that extreme care has to be taken to ensure that it is not used in any applications where there is a risk of thermal shock to delicate electrical equipment.
While electrical control cabinets feature prominently in the list of FIRETRACE applications, today systems are also to be found protecting business-critical "micro-environments" in a wide spectrum of industries. These include: IT servers and telecommunications facilities; ventilation and air conditioning plant and petrochemical control rooms; pharmaceutical laboratory fume hoods and dust extraction equipment; wind turbines and engine test cells; bus and coach engine compartments and throughout the mass transit sector.
