Dafo Vehicle Fire Suppression System

Product catalog summary
Introduction
Heavy equipment is at significant risk of fires due to prolonged operation under extreme conditions and exposure to flammable substances like diesel, hydraulic fluid, and grease. High-temperature surfaces can ignite these materials, leading to hazardous conditions, costly repairs, downtime, and potential injuries or fatalities. To mitigate these risks, reliable fire suppression systems are often required by insurance companies and regulations.
Dafo Vehicle Fire Suppression System
The Dafo Vehicle Fire Suppression System is designed to protect heavy-duty vehicles and consists of four integrated elements: Detection, Alarm, Suppression, and Control. These components work together efficiently to suppress fires.
Key Components
  • Linear Detection Wire: Provides enhanced hazard area coverage, available in different triggering temperatures, and ensures rapid fire response.
  • Audible and Optical Alarm: Activates alarm lamp and horn upon discharge. In manual mode, it signals the driver to actuate the system, while in automatic mode, detection triggers immediate system release.
  • Forrex Nozzle: Features a 100° spray pattern with a 1.5 m range, producing optimally sized droplets for effective cooling and preventing blockage with a durable silicon cap.
  • Forrex EVO Suppression Agent: Non-corrosive, environmentally friendly, fluorine-free, and provides freeze protection to -40°C. It creates a protective layer to prevent reignition and is easy to clean up with water.
  • Agent Tank Type SV-K and SV-B: Operates in any orientation, with high flow and even pressure, non-pressurized in resting state, and corrosion-resistant design. Available in sizes from 5L to 25L.
Operation
The system detects fire through the linear detection wire, which sends a signal to the control unit, activating the nitrogen cartridge. This pressurizes the agent tank, releasing the agent at 20 bars through the distribution system and nozzles. Visual and audible alarms are activated, and the alarm is indicated on the cab's alarm panel.
System Features
  • Designed for high-risk industries with automatic and manual release capabilities.
  • Robust design resists vibration, extreme temperatures, chemicals, and mechanical stress.
  • Low total cost of ownership with simplified maintenance and recharging.
  • Compliant with SBF regulations, ensuring adequate suppression agent per engine volume.
  • Tested and approved in accordance with AS5062, SBF127:17, UNECE R107, etc.
Benefits
The system offers optimized nozzles for critical flow and discharge time, contributing to increased profitability through reduced downtime and compliance with safety standards.

Dafo Vehicle Fire Suppression System-1

As the owner of a vehicle with a Dafo Vehicle Fire Suppression System, you have taken a major step in re protecting your employees, equipment and business. Fire Suppression Systems for buses and heavy-duty vehicles Heavy equipment faces a signi cant risk of res due to extended operating hours under extreme conditions and exposure to ammable fuels like diesel, hydraulic uid, and grease. High-temperature surfaces, such as engine blocks and exhaust systems, can easily ignite these materials, creating hazardous conditions. Fires often lead to costly repairs, lengthy downtime, and even loss of business. In severe cases, they can cause injuries or fatalities. Acknowledging these risks, many insurance companies and regulations require reliable re suppression systems for heavy-duty vehicles. The Dafo Vehicle re suppression system consists of four integrated elements: Detection, Alarm, Suppression and Control, which work together in a coordinated, fast and efficient way to suppress res.

Dafo Vehicle Fire Suppression System-3

A Fire Suppression System specially designed forvehicles working in high-risk industries. Installed as a fully automatic system with manual release capability. Operation Fire is detected by the linear detection wire (1), which sends a signal through the control unit (2) to the actuator (3) which releases the nitrogen cartridge (4). The nitrogen cartridge pressurizes the agent tank (5) which releases the agent at a pressure of 20 bars (290 9psi) through the distribution system (6 & 7) and the nozzles (8). When the system releases, the visual alarm lights (9) and the alarm horn (10) is activated....
