What is Firetrace? • Suppression for the “micro-environment” • Pneumatic heat detection • Fire suppression system • “Total flooding” OR “Local application” • Detection and suppression at the ignition point 11/29/2020 2
“It’s All About the ………………TUBE” • Linear, pneumatic flame detection • Bursts at 212°F (100°C) • Tubing can be the detector & the piping network • Tubing is durable and flexible • Tubing is not conductive or corrosive • Good for harsh chemical environments 11/29/2020 3
Direct System Direct Low Pressure System 11/29/2020 4
Characteristics of the Firetrace Detection Tubing • Commercial Name : FT 1992 Thermoplas • Physical Appearance: 6 mm OD red tube • Change in Physical state: Melts @ 194 C (381. 2 F) • Bulk Density : 17 g / meter (5. 18 g/ft) • Dielectric Strength: dry 40 (DIN 53481)k. V/mm • Thermal Decomposition: Above 300 C (572 F) • Temperature at Burst: 100 -115 C @ 150 psi (212 -239 F @ 150 psi) 11/29/2020 6
The “Burst” 11/29/2020 7
Direct Low Pressure (DLP) System • Tubing is used as a detector and delivery of agent from cylinder • Valve is a X-over only to allow for connection of the tubing to cylinder • 4 ports on this valve for gauge, P/S, Ball Valve and cylinder Max 3. 3 ft / layer • Discharge time is limited due to the x-sectional area of the ball valve orifice. 11/29/2020 8
DLP (Direct Low Pressure) System 11/29/2020 9
OPTIONS PRESSURE SWITCH • Monitors pressure in the tubing and in cylinder • Can use on cylinder and as many as needed on tubing network • Used for: • Building alarm tie-in • Power lock-out or shunt trip • Fan/damper control • Auxiliary controls 11/29/2020 10
