Advanced Aerosol Fire Suppression Systems
It's all about breaking
the fire chain!
Science Made Simple
GeneFire fire suppression systems use advanced aerosol technology to quickly and effectively suppress and extinguish fires. The system houses an aerosol generating composition (AGC) which is a proprietary mixture of chemicals. An ignition device (electrical, thermal or mechanical) is used to start the combustion process to produce aerosol which contains certain particles that separate oxygen from the fuel. Aerosol radicals secure and remove C, H & CH from the flame chain reaction without depleting oxygen and rapidly extinguishing the flames. Due to the minute size of the particles (5-10 micrometers), they remain suspended for 30 to 40 minutes, thus inhibiting possible re-ignition of the fire.
Fire Tetrahedron
Fire basically needs three elements to ignite: heat, fuel, and an oxidizing agent such as oxygen. By removing any one of these elements, a fire can be prevented or extinguished. The fire tetrahedron, as shown in the image, represents a fourth component in the chemical chain reaction. Once a fire has started, the resulting exothermic chain reaction sustains the fire and allows it to continue unless at least one of the elements of the fire is blocked. GeneFire Aerosol fire suppression systems work by securing and removing C, H & CH from the flame chain reaction to rapidly extinguish the flames.
