Condensed Aerosol Suppression

FirePro Aerosol Fire Suppression

FirePro Aerosol provides compact, efficient fire suppression by interrupting the chemical chain reaction of fire. Ideal for electrical enclosures, cabinets, and confined spaces.

Overview

Where it fits
  • Electrical panels, MCCs, UPS and battery enclosures*
  • Small server rooms, shelters, kiosks and ATMs
  • Engines, gensets, CNC machines and cabinet spaces

*For lithium-ion hazards, pair enclosure protection with battery-specific measures.

Key advantages
  • Minimal footprint—no bulky cylinders or long pipe runs
  • Fast retrofit with limited shutdowns
  • Low maintenance compared to gas storage banks
Controls & safety
  • Release via detection panel or thermal activation
  • Pre-discharge alarms and interlocks as required
  • Post-event ventilation and access procedures

How It Works

Suppression mechanism

On activation, each generator releases a fine aerosol that inhibits the radical reactions sustaining combustion. The agent disperses through the enclosure, reaching obstructed zones where traditional nozzles can be hard to place.

  • Rapid discharge with uniform distribution
  • Effective on Class A, B, and C fires as specified
  • No pressurized piping network required
Activation & interlocks

Systems may be panel-controlled (detection + logic) or thermally actuated at the generator. Interlocks can stop fans, close dampers, or shut down power to prevent re-ignition.

  • Cross-zone detection to avoid false releases
  • Abort and manual release provisions
  • Clear local indicators and signage

Design & Sizing

We size and place generators to cover the full enclosure volume and address any “shadowing” from internal equipment. Mounting orientation, clearance and environmental limits are verified during engineering.

Inputs we assess
  • Enclosure volume, leakage and ventilation paths
  • Obstruction layout: trays, ducts, cable bundles
  • Hazard class and required hold time
Topologies
  • Cabinet-level protection (per enclosure)
  • Room-level protection with multiple generators
  • Hybrid with local shutdowns and panel release
Documentation
  • Layout drawings and generator schedules
  • Cause-and-effect matrix and interlock list
  • Commissioning test plan and maintenance schedule

Industries & Applications

Telecom & IT

Racks, edge sites, shelters, micro-data rooms with limited space for cylinders.

Industrial & Energy

Control cabinets, turbines/gensets, automated lines and machinery housings.

Transport & Public

ATM and kiosk enclosures, toll booths, critical cabinets in stations/airports.

How It Compares

vs. Clean Agent (FM-200 / Novec)

Clean agents suit larger rooms with sensitive electronics and fast cleanup. Aerosol wins on footprint and retrofit speed in small enclosures.

Explore Clean Agent

vs. CO₂

CO₂ is powerful for normally unoccupied hazards but requires stringent safety controls. Aerosol avoids large cylinder banks and complex venting.

Explore CO₂ Systems

vs. Water Mist

Water Mist reduces water damage and suits some occupied areas. Aerosol is stronger where piping space is limited and cabinet-level protection is needed.

Our Delivery Workflow

1) Survey

Measure enclosure volume, review obstructions and leakage paths, confirm shutdown options.

2) Engineering

Generator sizing and placement, detection logic, interlock list and documentation.

3) Installation

Mount generators, cable routing, labels and warning indicators, interface wiring.

4) Commissioning

Functional tests, alarm/abort checks, integration with ventilation and power.

5) Maintenance

Visual inspection, life-cycle checks, replacement intervals, event log reviews.

6) Lifecycle Support

Changes to equipment layout, added enclosures and periodic performance reviews.

FAQ

Will the aerosol harm electronics?
It’s designed for enclosed electrical hazards. We plan placement and post-event procedures to minimize residue on exposed surfaces.
Do I need a releasing panel?
Cabinet-only protection can use thermal activators, but panel-controlled release with detection provides better supervision and interlocks.
What about ventilation and fans?
We typically stop fans/close dampers during discharge and define a controlled ventilation procedure after the event.
How often is maintenance?
We perform periodic visual checks, status verification and replacement at end of service life per the manufacturer’s schedule.
