Would you like to protect your facility and assets with an automatic fire suppression solution that detects hazards and responds inside sensitive areas before the fire spreads?
This is where the importance of the Fire Search extinguisher appears. It is not just a traditional fire extinguisher, but rather a modern solution designed to protect enclosed areas that are difficult to access during emergencies.
Therefore, when searching for a Fire Search system, it is not enough to focus only on the price. You should understand how the system works and the specifications of the Fire Search hose, which represents the core component of the system.
In this article, you will learn about the Fire Search extinguisher, how the system works, its most important applications, and the Bavaria Fire Search price factors that determine the cost.
Continue reading to learn how to choose the most suitable solution for protecting electrical panels and sensitive areas inside your facility.
A Fire Search extinguisher is one of the latest innovative engineering solutions designed to control fires before they spread and cause major losses to assets or threaten employees’ safety.
The integrated Fire Search system is an automatic localized fire suppression system specially designed to secure and protect sensitive areas or small enclosed spaces containing electrical connections and critical equipment that may be difficult to reach quickly.
The Fire Search system for electrical panels relies on carbon dioxide (CO₂) as the primary extinguishing agent, with cylinder pressure reaching approximately 54 bar.
The system is available in different capacities and sizes to suit various risk levels, including:
The Fire Search system should not be selected based only on price or capacity. The choice depends on the nature of the location, the hazard level, and the type of equipment requiring protection.
At Emitron, we study the site requirements and recommend the most suitable solution, whether it is a Fire Search system or another suppression system that better matches your facility’s needs.
The Fire Search system operates through a fully automatic mechanical activation mechanism without requiring electrical power or human intervention.
It relies on a flexible, highly heat-sensitive polymer detection hose that is precisely routed inside or around the critical area requiring protection, such as electrical panels or machinery rooms.
The automatic detection and suppression process occurs through the following technical stages:
When a fire starts inside an electrical panel and the temperature at the closest point of the detection hose exceeds 99°C, the part of the hose exposed to heat begins to expand and melt due to the fire.
A small opening or rupture occurs in the detection tube due to gas pressure and heat exactly at the ignition point. This opening becomes a directed discharge nozzle.
The pressurized extinguishing gas is released from the cylinder through the discharge tube directly toward the newly created opening at the fire location, suppressing the flames and controlling the fire within seconds before it spreads to other parts of the facility.
To ensure this accurate and rapid response during emergencies, the engineering team at Emitron carefully studies your facility to determine the required technical specifications, including:
