Fire Suppression Systems using Local Application

In local application, the agent is applied directly onto a fire or into the region of a fire. There are some systems employing this technique but the most common method of local application is by manually operated wheeled or portable fire extinguishers. In those instances, this method is also referred to as a “streaming” application. One example of a local fire suppression system is the protection of wet benches in the semiconductor manufacturing industry. The wheeled extinguishers using halon 1211 found broad acceptance in the aviation sector for the extinguishments of aircraft engine fires and small pool fires around parked aircraft.

Peripherals Aerosol generator represents a dramatic advancement in fire protection over Alternative, Halon, Carbon dioxide, Dry chemical, and Water systems. It is environmentally friendly, both non-toxic and non-corrosive (even in the presence of high humidity). It is the most cost effective fire suppression system available. It requires no expensive installation of pressure vessels - pipe work and extensive manpower to install.
