Installation and Maintenance

Installation of FirePro® Aerosol Fire Extinguishers and Fire ExtinguishingSystems.

The advantages of FirePro® AerosolFire Extinguishers and Fire Extinguishing Systems at installationare as follows:

With the installation of FirePro® Aerosol Fire Extinguishers andFire Extinguishing Systems, traditional cylinders, piping and othernecessary parts, the historical cost of keeping spare parts in stock,the transportation of spare parts, the considerable installation andlabour time involved in conventional systems (H2, foam, halon, CO2,inert gasses and halocarbon gasses, etc.) will all become a thingof the past.

The hydraulics required for conventional systems have also becomeredundant. In place of this, a thorough investigation needs to takeplace in order to draw up a design for the placing of FirePro®Aerosol Fire Extinguishers and Fire Extinguishing Systems. This willbe drawn up while taking into account the various requirements andparticular circumstances of each case individually. In addition, theaesthetic appeal of the spaces protected by FirePro® Aerosol FireExtinguishers and Fire Extinguishing Systems are not adversely affected.

15+ reasons to use FirePro

MORE EFFECIVE and EFFICIENT than any other conventional system on the market. Only 25+ grams of the material from the FirePro® Aerosol Fire Extinguishers and Fire Extinguishing Systems is necessary to protect 1 m3, compared with between 200 to 350 grams of Halon or 700 to 1500 grams of CO2.

OZONE-FRIENDLY They do not release substances which deplete the ozone layer.
Protect goods properly, but damage nothing. They are NON-CORROSIVE. They do not contain active corrosive substances. This is why equipment, objects and materials are not destroyed or damaged. By using other fire fighting systems all this may be lost by the materials used to fight the fire (i.e. water, foam, powder) if it is not already destroyed by the fire itself.

Protect and are NOT HARMFUL to humans. They are non-toxic and do not use up oxygen.

ENVIRONMENTAL FRIENDLY They carry the Green Product quality mark. Laboratory tests have shown that FirePro®

Aerosol Fire Extinguishers and Fire Extinguishing Systems do not have any harmful effects on water, air, climate, animals, plants, micro-organisms.

Have the following properties:

Ozone Depletion Potential (ODP) = 0
Global Warming Potential (GWP) = 0
Atmospheric lifetime (ALT) = negligible

	Effect on people	Effect on goods	Effect on the environment	Installation and maintenance requirements
Foam and water	If used in fixed systems, it is necessary to protect people	Can be corrosive due to large concentration of water and the residues can damage sensitive electronic components	The residue may be difficult to remove and the foam can be extremely dangerous for water plants and aquatic animals.	Extensive pipe system, compressors, etc. are necessary. Possible disruption of ongoing activities. Maintenance and refilling required.
Water	It is generally accepted that water poses no danger to people when used to fight fire	Can cause considerable damage to electronic equipment and installations, furniture, paper, etc.	Although it is a clean substance, when used to fight fire dangerous vapours can be released which are harmful to the environment	Extensive pipe system, compressors, large tanks, etc. are necessary. Possible disruptions in ongoing activities. Maintenance and refilling required
CO2	Is very dangerous for people in the concentrations required to extinguish fire.	Is a clean extinguishing agent which does not leave residues. The cooling effect however produces a condensation haze which can damage electronic equipment.	In general, more CO2 is produced by other sources.	Extensive pipe system, pressure containers etc. are necessary. Possible disruptions in ongoing activities. Maintenance and refilling required.
Argon	Use a confined space could lead to insufficient oxygen being supplied to the brain.	Is not harmful to goods.	It occurs naturally in the environment and is, therefore, not harmful to the environment.	Extensive pipe system, compressors, etc. are necessary. Possible disruptions in ongoing activities. Maintenance and refilling required
Halon	Poses no danger to people, but is a banned substance since 1994 under the Vienna Convention and the Montreal Protocol	Does not cause any indirect damage.	CFCs and HCFCs are banned.	Extensive pipe system, pressure containers, compressors etc. are necessary. Possible disruptions in ongoing activities.
FirePro®	In the necessary concentrations it is not harmful to people.	Does not cause any damage to goods. After its discharge an inert film of dust falls which can be easily wiped away.	Environment friendly. Has no adverse effects. Ozone-friendly. Carries the Green Product quality mark.	Simple installation. No necessity for extensive pipe system, compressors, large tanks or pressurized flasks. Very low maintenance.
