Today more and more buses with alternative fuels are operating our streets. These buses does not pose higher, but different fire risks compared to the standard combustion engines. It is an ongoing learning process for the operators, drivers, fire brigades etc. in terms of having new components to handle and new skills to be gained in order to deal with alternative fuel vehicles in the safest way possible.
In this video, recorded by Sustainable Bus, Risk Management Specialist Tommy Carnebo speaks about the challenges and opportunities with these alternative fuels buses.
The Dafo Vehicle fire suppression system consists of four integrated elements; Detection, Alarm, Suppression and Control, which work together in a coordinated, fast and efficient way to suppress fires. The detection system consists of a linear heat detector wire. It has a fixed temperature sensor with an alarm signal triggered when the activation temperature of 180°C is reached. This signal punctures the burst disc of the propellant gas cartridge, which releases nitrogen into the agent container.
The Forrex liquid is distributed to the nozzles through the pipe system. At the same time, the alarm system is activated, and an alarm horn in the vehicle and a light signal in the panel will warn the driver. The liquid agent will push away the oxygen, cool down the overheated engine parts, impregnate the burning material, stick to surfaces and effectively prevent re-ignition. The Forrex is non-corrosive and environmentally friendly.
The control unit has a Real-time Clock and Event Log that allows access to historical data, making it possible to analyze previous events.
