FORREX Fire Suppression System Understanding fires in engine bays

What is Fire

Fire is simply a chemical chain reaction that takes place when the correct

conditions are present in an engine bay, the conditions and the range of potential

ignition sources to create an ever-present fire risk.

The Fire Triangle

Heat, Fuel and Oxygen are required for fire to exist. Remove any one of these

elements and the chemical reaction that creates the flames cannot continue.

The Feedback Loop of Fire Once a fire has started, the self-reciprocating reaction of the flames swiftly spreads the fire if

there is nothing to interrupt it - this is called the Feedback Loop of Fire’.

FUEL

IF LEFT UNINTERRUPTED,

FIRE CREATES A SELF-GENERATING CYCLE CALLED

THE FEEDBACK LOOP OF FIRE.

FORREX Fire Suppression System How Forrex tackles the Fire Triangle

Prevention of Reignition

The Dafo System tackles the risk of reignition both by cooling and saturation of

the fuels and ignition sources with Wet Chemical Agent spray but also by leaving

a coating of Forrex over the protected surfaces to continue cooling and cut off the

fuels’ oxygen supply.

FUEL

The film left behind by the

Forrex blocks the fuels

access to oxygen.

Forrex spray absorbs heat &

cools surfaces

Forrex cools and leaves a film on top of

flammable liquids.

Water based Forrex cools, coats and saturates

flammable solids.

FORREX Fire Suppression System Forrex Vs Water fog

FORREX Fire Suppression System AFFF Vs LVS

AFFF: Aqueous film forming foam,

consisting of fluorocarbon and

hydrocarbon surfactants blended with

various solvents, preservatives and

stabilizer's.

LVS: Wet Chemical Agent that is a

unique blend of organic and inorganic

salts, coupled with surface active

ingredients.

FORREX Fire Suppression System System Design

The FORREX-installation normally protects engine room, converter, hydraulic equipment

and brakes. The normal amount of extinguishing fluid is 3 litres per cubic metre of

protected volume, stored in one or more tanks.

The tanks are activated electrically via the fire alarm or manually directly on the tank valve

or from a pull handle.

To meet the requirements of the insurance companies, the system must be designed

according to their projecting rules and installed by an authorized fitter.
