Product Description:

The ANSUL A-101 Fire Suppression System is a pre-engineered, cartridge-operated dry chemical system with a fixed nozzle distribution network. It is approved by Factory Mutual (FM).

The system is capable of automatic detection and actuation and/or remote manual actuation. When a fire is detected, the A-101 system is actuated either manually or automatically, operating the pneumatic actuator. The pneumatic actuator ruptures a seal disc in the expellant gas cartridge. This, in turn, pressurizes and fluidizes the dry chemical extinguishing agent in the tank, ruptures the burst disc when the required pressure is reached, and propels the dry chemical through the network of distribution hose. The dry chemical is discharged through fixed nozzles and into the protected areas, suppressing the fire.

The automatic detection portion of the fire suppression system incorporates electric detection, either linear detection wire or spot detection. In addition, Triple IR flame detectors added to the linear or thermal detection circuit can be utilized for quick fire detection response.

The fire suppression system is capable of providing local application hazard protection for mobile equipment and industrial hazards. In certain industrial hazards, total flooding can be used.

Applications:

The ANSUL A-101 Fire Suppression System is an automatic or manual fire suppression system using FORAY® (monoammonium phosphate base) dry chemical agent for Class A, B, and C fires. The fire suppression system is designed for use on large, off-road type construction and mining equipment (such as large excavators/shovels, draglines, haul trucks, wheeled loaders), underground mining equipment, and specialty vehicles (such as slag, pot and/or slab carriers, tunnel boring machines, solid waste handling equipment, and forestry vehicles). These types of equipment have large volumes of oils and hydraulic fluids under pressure.

The fire system described is a suppression system only and is not designed or intended to extinguish all fires. It is extremely important that alternative firefighting equipment be available in case the system does not totally extinguish a fire.

If an automatic fire detection and actuation system has not been supplied or has been disconnected, system actuation and discharge will not occur unless the fire suppression system is manually actuated
