How the Fogmaker Fire Suppression System Works

1. Accumulator
   Containing the extinguishing fluid pressurized to 100-105 bar with nitrogen. The extinguishing fluid and nitrogen is separated by a patented piston.
2. Distribution system
   The accumulator is connected to a distribution system by a high pressure hose and steel pipe. The nozzles are strategically placed within the engine compartment to target high risk parts.
3. Detector bottle
   Provides pressure for the Loss-of-Pressure detection system. Pressurized to between 24 and 31 bar.
4. Detection tube
   Strategically placed within the engine compartment, this polymer tube ruptures when the heat of a fire comes in contact with it.
5. Patented release valve
   The piston accumulator, distribution system and detection systems are inter-linked via the patented valve. This valve keeps the piston accumulator closed when the pressure in the detector bottle is normal.
6. Detection tube
   Strategically placed within the engine compartment, this polymer tube ruptures when the heat of a fire comes in contact with it.
7. Alarm panel
   Mounted in the driver compartment provides the driver with information and status of the system.
8. Patented nozzles
   The extinguishing fluid is pressed through the distribution system’s nozzles and a water mist is spread quickly throughout the compartment to be protected.
9. Audible alarm
   Provides the driver and passengers with an audible warning of a fire.
10. Alarm light
    Provides the driver and passengers a visual alarm of a fire.
