Firetrace

Firetrace Direct System
The Firetrace Direct Low-Pressure System provides simple, reliable protection for critical assets. During the installation, the red Firetrace Detection Tubing (FDT) is run into and throughout the cabinet, ensuring that detection is close at hand should a fire start.  Should a  fire break out, the point on the pressurized FDT nearest the heat source will burst, allowing the fire suppression agent to flow from the Firetrace cylinder through the tubing, and out of the rupture hole directly at the source of the fire. The result is a long discharge of agent in the immediate vicinity of the fire, suppressing the fire where it starts.

Firetrace Indirect System
The Firetrace Indirect Low-Pressure System uses the same red Firetrace Detection Tubing run throughout the cabinet’s components to quickly detect a fire. When the tubing ruptures, the system activates and delivers the agent through a separate piping set, quickly filling the cabinet enclosure with agent and suppressing the fire.  

Firetrace Indirect Systems also offer the option to activate via a smoke detector or external alarm system (using the Firetrace Solenoid Valve) or via a manual release. Regardless of the system selected, the Firetrace Detection Tubing is the reliable solution for detecting  fire at its source quickly, before adjacent equipment can be damaged. Either Firetrace system can utilize one of a variety of clean fire suppressing agents, selected specifically to suit the environment.
