INTRODUCTION

SFFECO Thermo-Act systems are the advanced technology of automatic fire suppression systems.

The systems provide a self activating suppression system that suppresses fires in seconds. They are

simple design and installation with low maintenance, highly cost effective and reliable. The electrical

or pneumatic sources shall not be required to our Thermo-Act systems. The systems can be used in the

presence of an increased risk of fire.

SFFECO Thermo-Act systems utilize fire flexible tube for fire detection. Thus, the fire detection and

extinguishing system is not required to detect and discharge.

SFFECO Thermo-Act systems can be designed with commercial available agents including clean agent,

wet chemical, Foam, and dry powder. The systems may be arranged as:

Direct System

SFFECO Thermo-Act direct system for low pressure

agent as shown below uses the flexible tube

as both the detection device and extinguishing

discharge system. In case of fire, the section of

tube most exposed to heat will rupture forming a

discharge nozzle. The suppressant agent is then

completely released due to pressure drop in the

tube.

Indirect System

SFFECO Thermo-Act indirect system for low

pressure agent as shown below uses the tube as

a fire detection device only. The fire suppression

agent is delivered through a special copper or

stainless steel tubing system. Once the tube

ruptures due to heat exposure, the drop in

pressure activates the indirect valve to direct the

flow of suppression agent to diffuser nozzles via

a fixed tubing system. This system is usually used

in large areas.

PROBLEMS & SOLUTIONS

The Problem

Electrical enclosures can be found in virtually any industrial or commercial space. In some cases the enclosure

might be a single small panel while in others it may involve a large room filled with electrical boxes. Should a

fire occur in one of these cabinets, it would typically destroy the contents, but unchecked the fire could take the

room or even the building, costing money and downtime.

Regardless of the number of enclosures, Thermo-Act offers a reliable, cost-effective method to increase the fire

protection of these areas by detecting and suppressing the fire in the cabinet itself.

The Solution

Because Thermo-Act takes the fire detection and suppression inside of the hazard, a growing fire can be

caught quickly, preventing the spread of fire to other parts of the building that would require firefighters or water

sprinklers to extinguish.

By containing the fire to the individual enclosure damage is limited to that enclosure and the collateral damage

often caused by traditional fire suppression is avoided.
