Off Road Vehicle Fire Suppression Systems

The Off Road Vehicle Fire Suppression System is a pre-engineered, fixed nozzle system designed for application to mobile materials handling equipment commonly used in agricultural, construction, forestry, mining and other industries.

A system consists of three major components: a container to store the dry chemical extinguishing agent; a manual and/or automatic (optional) actuation device to trigger the system; and a delivery system to carry the dry chemical from the storage container to the fire.

Agent Storage
The basic agent storage system is a tank filled with dry chemical which is effective on Class A, B and C fires. A carbon dioxide or nitrogen gas expellant cartridge is mounted on the tank to provide pressurization of the dry chemical upon actuation.

Actuation
The system is actuated manually, either by a dashboard or remote actuator; or automatically using a detection and control device (optional). The final methods of actuation are determined by the fire protection objectives of the system hazard analysis and design.

Delivery
The dry chemical extinguishing agent is delivered from the tank through rubber covered hydraulic hose and pre-set nozzles into the hazard area.
