Local extinguishing involves precise extinguishing of fires in specific areas or directly on devices at risk of fire. These systems are designed to respond quickly and effectively to fires, minimizing the risk of fire spread and limiting damage. They are distinguished by high precision of operation, quick response and the ability to protect key devices and locations. Thanks to the use of various extinguishing agents (gas, water, foam, powder), these systems are versatile and can be adapted to the specific needs of a given facility.
Why choose local extinguishing?
Local extinguishing is one of the most effective fire protection solutions, offering several key advantages that make it the ideal choice for many facilities:
- Speed of response and precision: Local extinguishing systems are designed to respond immediately upon detection of a fire, minimizing the risk of it spreading. Precisely targeted extinguishing agents are applied directly to the source of the fire, which increases the effectiveness of extinguishing.
- Protection of critical equipment and locations: These systems are ideal for protecting critical areas such as server rooms, laboratories or industrial kitchens, where standard fire extinguishing systems may be insufficient or too invasive.
- Reduce fire damage and repair costs: By acting quickly and precisely, local extinguishing minimizes the damage caused by fire and extinguishing operations, which translates into lower repair costs and less operational downtime.
Technology and Operation
Local extinguishing systems use advanced technology to provide fast and effective extinguishing of fires in specific areas:
- Local Extinguisher Activation Mechanisms: These systems are equipped with smoke, heat or flame sensors that immediately detect fire and activate extinguishing agents. Automatic detection and response eliminate the need for human intervention, which is crucial in emergency situations.
- Types of extinguishing agents used:
- Gas: Gases such as CO2, FM-200 or Novec 1230 are ideal for protecting electronic equipment because they leave no residue and do not damage the devices.
- Water: Water-based sprinklers and misting systems are effective in a wide range of applications, from kitchens to warehouses.
- Foam: Foam systems are effective in extinguishing flammable liquid fires and in places where minimizing water damage is a priority.
- Powder: Powder extinguishing agents are versatile and effective in extinguishing various types of fires, including solids, liquids and gases.
- System components:
- Nozzles: Specialized nozzles ensure even and precise distribution of the extinguishing agent.
- Sensors: Heat, smoke or flame detectors quickly identify the presence of fire and activate the system.
- Control systems: Advanced controllers coordinate the operation of the entire system, ensuring fast and effective extinguishing.
Applications
Local extinguishing systems are extremely versatile and can be used in various types of facilities, providing reliable fire protection:
- Server rooms and data centers:
- Protecting sensitive IT equipment and data is essential in server rooms and data centers. Local extinguishing systems, especially gas systems, provide effective fire extinguishing without the risk of damaging electronics.
- Laboratories and technical rooms:
- In laboratories where chemicals and specialist equipment are stored, local fire extinguishing systems minimise the risk of fires and ensure work safety.
- Industrial and catering kitchens:
- Kitchens in restaurants and catering establishments are vulnerable to grease and oil fires. Fast-acting foam and water systems effectively extinguish fires while minimizing damage.
- Manufacturing and warehousing:
- Manufacturing plants and warehouses where flammable materials are stored shall use local fire extinguishing systems to protect production lines and stored goods from fires.
Thanks to their versatility and effectiveness, local extinguishing systems are an irreplaceable solution in many industries, ensuring the safety and protection of property and people staying in the facility.
Maintenance and service
Regular maintenance and servicing of local fire extinguishing systems are essential for their reliability and longevity:
- Regular inspection and maintenance: Ensures that systems are always ready for operation. Inspections include testing of sensors, nozzles and control systems.
- System updates and upgrades: Fire protection technology is constantly evolving, so regular updates are essential to keep systems compliant with the latest safety standards.
- Fast response to breakdowns and repairs: Our technical support team is available 24/7 to provide immediate assistance in the event of a breakdown, minimizing operational downtime.
