How the system works

The Dafo fire suppression system consists of four integrated elements; DetectionAlarmSuppression 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.

 

Compliance and Reliability

Dafo Vehicle’s fire protection solutions adhere to stringent industry standards and regulations, including those specific to the transport of hazardous goods. We ensure that your vehicles meet all necessary safety requirements, providing peace of mind and operational confidence.

The insurance industry sometimes requests that vehicles and trucks transporting these materials be protected with fire suppression systems. The fire suppression system normally protects the engine compartment and heater, but in some cases, it also protects the power transmission and hydraulic equipment.
