Specialist Fire ProtectionPyroshieldSuppliers of The PyrogenAerosol Supression SystemA revolution is taking place in Fire Suppression. Developed from solidrocket fuel technology, Pyrogen is the world's first commercially availableAerosol Fire Extinguishing System. Designed as a safe & practicalalternative to Halon, Halocarbons, Chemical Powders and Inert GasesPyrogen is available from stock in a wide range of canister sizes. Pyrogenis an inert non-toxic solid that remains stable until electrically or thermallyactivated, where upon it produces a gas-like extinguishing aerosol. Theaerosol attacks the fire chemically and physically, giving virtual instantextinguishment & preventing re-ignition, and in certain instances,explosions. For many applications Pyrogen is the only practicalalternative to Halon.Some of the sizes availableSimply installed close to the potential hazardEasily reinstalled within minutesl and militaryairrciaecrammftcoWhen electrically or thermally ignited, Pyrogengenerates the fire extinguishing aerosolreda-soffhota roo ms
Benefits of PyrogenHALONHALONHALONPYROGEN3 times more effective than Halon.At a maximum* design concentration of 100g per m3Pyrogen exhibits equal or better extinguishingproperties than Halon 1301 at 330g per m volume),as certified by Scientific Services Laboratory.Pyrogen has the lowest extinguishing concentrationamongst commercially available agents.*PYROGENHalon1301FM-200FE-13CO2Inert gasCompact & Weight Saving.Pyrogen canisters can provide the smallest &lightest fire extinguishing system currently available.With space requirements of up to 1/40th of Inertgases, and weight penalties of often only 10% ofcompeting systems, Pyrogen in many cases is theonly practical Halon replacement.Recommended maximum for Class A, B, C, E & F type fires. Refer to table on reverse.Simple to Install & Recommission.Environmentally FriendlyPyrogen has been certified as having Zero OzoneDepleting Potential (ODP) & Zero Global WarmingPotential (GWP). It is officially listed by the USEnvironmental Protection Authority under itsHalon replacement ‘Significant New AlternativesProgram’ (SNAP).Pyrogen canisters are electrically (or automaticallythermally) activated. Simple wiring & plug inconnectors can reduce installation times to a 1/3rdor less. If discharged, new canisters may bereinstalled in minutes* affording minimal downtimeand eliminate potentially hazardous periods ofnon-active fire suppression .* Providing all and any necessary safety checks & inspections have been completed.No Pressurised Cylinders or Pipe work.TE DS TE DTE S TE TESTEDPyrogen Canisters are self contained, zero pressureunits. As well as being light & safe to transport, theyrequire no additional pipes, nozzles or distributionequipment. They cannot leak, burst or deteriorate,and can be stored for up to 10 years withoutmaintenance.Low Toxicity.Tests & certificationCost EffectivePyrogen has been tested by LPC, Scientific ServiceLaboratories (Australia) and is undergoing furthercertification worldwide. For the latest approvallistings and test data please contact your nearestPyrogen dealer.With minimal space & weight requirements, simpleinstallation, zero maintenance and up to 10 yearsservice life, Pyrogen is arguably the most costeffective Halon alternative available.Unlike some Halon alternatives, Pyrogen producesno aggressive acids such as Hydrogen Fluorideupon contact with hot surfaces. Pyrogen producesno chlorine or bromide and does not depleteoxygen to suppress the fire.d automation equiy anrepmnihencatmplantmachiryne
How it worksThe principle of extinguishing action employed by Pyrogen isunique - a special solid chemical, when electrically or thermallyignited, produces combustion products - micron size drychemical particles and gases. Dry chemical particles, (mainlypotassium carbonates), and gaseous mixture, (mainly carbondioxide, nitrogen and water vapour), mix together into a uniformfire extinguishing aerosol. Before being released into a protectedarea, the hot aerosol propels itself through a unique solidchemical coolant, which decomposes absorbing huge amountsof heat, thus ensuring flameless discharge and uniform distributionof the cool aerosol within the area.The high rate of aerosol discharge ensures a tremendous knockdowneffect. Micron size aerosol particles exhibit gas-like threedimensionalqualities that allow the agent to rapidly distributethroughout enclosure and reach even the most concealed andshielded locations. Homogeneous distribution is achieved in amatter of seconds, while long holding times all help to preventfire re-ignition.Combustible label coverDirectional plateCoolant gridChemical coolantSeparator gridThermal ignition deviceSpacer ringCanister constructionSolid aerosol generatingcompositionElectrical ignition deviceHeavy duty aluminiumalloy castingIgniter circuit connectorPhysical reaction within the canisteroElectrical signalfromcontrol panelChemical coolantdecomposesabsorbingheatCanisterheated 500 CTotal floodingaerosol demonstrates3dgaslikeproperties.Holdingtimesupto60 eat 175 CviafireconductingcordFirefightingaerosol rapidlygenerated3 potential methods of actuationAerosol generatedDecomposedchemical coolantAerosol distributedPrinciple of the chemical reation suppressing the fireO2 O2 O2O2 O2 O2O2 O2 O2KO H OHHEATKKOStage 1Fire is propagated by the'flame chain carriers' O, H & OHFUEL(CnHm)FUEL(CnHm)shippingandestsiclic al c a bin eehectrKmryilit avHKStage 3K radicals attach themselves to O, H & OHand remove them from the flame chainwithout depleting OxygenStage 2Pyrogen aerosol introduces potassiumradicals (K) into the flame chain reactioninearmleOHFlamechainbrokenH OHKHEATKPyrogenFUEL(CnHm)O

Inadvertent exposure to the aerosol should be avoided using normal precautions such as warning signals, pre-discharge alarmand post-discharge warning and venting. Accidental exposure to aerosol should be limited to 5 minutes.As obscuration may impede the egress of personnel, hold off devices may be required for large areas or those with internal obstructions.
