Perfluorohexanone small space fire extinguishing equipment has the following differences from aerosol fire extinguishing equipment:
Type and nature of extinguishing agent
Perfluorohexanone: It is a liquid clean fire extinguishing agent, with good environmental performance, non-toxic, odorless, non-corrosive, low global warming potential, and no residue after fire extinguishing. It can quickly reduce the temperature of the fire site when evaporating, has high fire extinguishing efficiency, and has little impact on the environment and human body.
Aerosol fire extinguishing agent: It is a mixture formed by the dispersion of solid particles in a gaseous medium, which contains some solid particles and inert gases, and extinguishes the fire by combining various methods such as endothermic cooling, oxygen isolation asphyxiation and radiation shielding.
Fire extinguishing methods and effects
PerfluorohexanoneThrough rapid evaporation, a gas-like fire extinguishing state is formed, which can be evenly distributed in the entire enclosed space to achieve fire extinguishing without dead angles, especially suitable for small and confined spaces, and has good penetration and coverage ability for fire sources.
Aerosol fire extinguishing agent: After spraying, it will form a suspended particle cloud in the air, which generally needs to be close to the fire source to exert the maximum effect, and the coverage of open or large spaces is relatively weak, but the fire extinguishing speed of local fire sources is relatively fast.
Applicable scenarios
PerfluorohexanoneBecause of its characteristics of no residue and non-destructive precision equipment, it is suitable for protecting valuable electronic equipment, precision instruments, battery cabinets, data centers and other objects that have high requirements for environmental protection and are not allowed to be damaged by residues.
Aerosol fire extinguishing agentIt is suitable for extinguishing fires in small spaces under certain conditions, but is not suitable for use in such places due to the possibility of dust contamination or electrostatic effects on delicate equipment and sensitive components.
Durability and security
PerfluorohexanoneBecause there is no residue after extinguishing the fire, it will not cause secondary pollution to the equipment in the space, and it is harmless to the human body, so it is more advantageous in long-term storage of items or continuous operation of equipment places.
Aerosol fire extinguishing agentAlthough some products have a longer warranty period, cleaning up after extinguishing a fire can be relatively complex, and they contain solid particles that may affect the subsequent operation of the equipment.
Environmental and regulatory requirements
PerfluorohexanoneIn line with the international environmental protection trend, it also has a wide range of applicability to flammable and explosive places and precision equipment, and is recommended for use by relevant fire protection regulations.
Aerosol fire extinguishing agentIn some countries and regions, its use may be restricted in certain occasions, such as it is not suitable for the protection of flammable and explosive places and precision instruments and equipment.
Combining the above factors, perfluorohexanone fire extinguishing equipment has more advantages in protecting small confined spaces, especially those involving precision equipment and high environmental protection requirements, while aerosol fire extinguishing equipment still has its application market in some specific small space fire extinguishing scenarios because of its fast response speed and other factors, but it is necessary to pay attention to its use restrictions and potential impacts.
