DSPA Aerosol Fire Suppression Systems: Innovative Fire Suppression Solutions

DSPA Aerosol Fire Suppression Systems

DSPA is a leading manufacturer of highly innovative aerosol generators, which are used for fire extinguishing and suppression purposes. Being a preferred Halonand gas substitute, our products are used worldwide by governments, firefighters, first responders and various industries.

DSPA strives to provide exceptional value to our customers with an intense focus on quality, reliability, service and innovative product development.

As early as 1987, DSPA started the development of our range of products. It has been developed to replace Halon(BCF). The ban on HalonFire extinguishing systems from the Montreal Protocol, which was signed worldwide in 1987. In 2001 the first arrangements on this came into force, which led to a definite ban on the use of Halonin 2003. Already in 1992 the first production of aerosol generators started. DSPA works volumetrically, just like Halon: it affects the combustion process.

Dry Powder Aerosol

Aerosol generators consist of a solid aerosol forming compound in a non-pressurized red canister. This compound aerosolizes rapidly, expanding volumetrically in extremely finely divided solid particles, surrounded by gas: the aerosol fire extinguishing agent. And so it behaves like a gas.

The aerosol is self-generated by a combustion process of the solid aerosol-forming compound, activated by an activation device, also known as the starter.

The solid micro particles fill the compartment completely and attack the combustion process of a fire at a chemical level. As a result, the flames are instantly knocked down and the energy is removed from the fire.

 

DSPA Aerosol Extinguishing Mechanism

Unlike many other extinguishing agents, DSPA Aerosol interferes with the chain reaction in the fire, leaving oxygen levels intact.

Fire propagation radicals (OH, H, and O) are essential elements to the chain reaction of the fire.

DSPA Aerosol suppresses the fire (primarily) by chemical interference with these free radicals within the fire zone, thus interrupting the on-going chain reaction of the fire.

This process is called negative catalysm: the K radicals stick to the OH radicals and break the energy chain.

New, stable molecules are formed that will no longer contribute to the chain reaction. The small aerosol particles provide a large surface area for capturing these radicals making them effective extinguishing agents.

DSPA Aerosol Advantages

 

DSPA is Efficient and effective

Only a small amount (32-110 g/m3) of aerosol is needed to extinguish fires. This makes our systems much more efficient and effective than conventional systems, such as FM-200 (550-950 g/m3) or Novec-1230 (690-1188 g/m3). With operating conditions ranging from -40°C to +75°C with humidity up to 95%, our systems are applicable in many situations.

DSPA is Safe

DSPA generators are unpressurized, nor do they increase pressure inside the room or object during discharge, making transport, installation and use easy and safe. DSPA received the SNAP-listing from the Environmental Protection Agency in the USA. Our aerosol is with zero Ozone Depleting Potential, zero Global Warming Potential and a negligible Atmospheric Life Time, environmentally friendly. Nor is it harmful to humans or animals.

DSPA is Easy to install & maintain

DSPA generators are easily connected to conventional fire detection systems. Installation without any interruption of ongoing(production) processes is possible. There is no need for expensive pipe work, and require far less maintenance compared to otherconventional systems. They have a guaranteed serviceable life time of 15 years. And are only to be replaced after that, in comparison to other systems that require expensive refills every 5 years.
