Crew Compartment

The system delivers FK-5-1-12 directly into the crew compartment via a fixed or remote nozzle. With options for either manual or automatic activation, the system deploys rapidly to flood-fill the designated area. Modular in design, multiple systems can be wired in series to ensure the correct extinguishant concentration is achieved – providing effective, reliable protection for occupants.

Toxicity

Lifeline systems use clean-agent suppressants, available in a range of cylinder sizes to suit different applications. Once the crew area volume is known, we specify the appropriate cylinder to deliver maximum fire protection while staying within the NOAEL and far below the LOAEL limits set out in JSP 418. For unoccupied areas – such as the engine bay – a higher concentration can be used to compensate for potential losses through panel gaps, service ducts and other openings.

Detection

High-speed UVIR² detectors can identify a fire in just 3 milliseconds, using advanced algorithms to reliably distinguish genuine fires from false alarms. For added protection against false alarms, we recommend using two detectors in a double-knock configuration. In engine bay applications, fire detection is provided by temperature-rated Protectowire.
