“KYDON” system ® – Integrated Solution for dealing with fire risk in vehicles
“KYDON” system ® – Integrated Solution for the Confrontation of Fire Risk in Vehicles The only Approved System for use in Buses (worldwide)
- Protects passengers and equipment
- Easy / Flexible installation
- Quick and effective extinguishing
- Independent operation without the presence of electricity
It reduces the most critical risks and prevents the effects of a possible fire on the engine of vehicles, a fire which can be caused by:
- Oil residues and fuel losses.
- Overheating of the engine. • Short circuits.
THE DIFFERENCE OF FIREDETEC® FireDETEC Systems® use a Heat Sensitive Linear Heat Detection Fussible Tube which is under Pressure of 16Bar with Nitrogen Gas (or Ambient Air) and melts at 110ºC by activating the System. The detection system is very flexible in installation, effective in covering the sensitive area to be protected and more economical against alternative systems with mechanical or electronic detection systems.
1. Quick and easy installation: The Heat-Sensitive Fussible Tube is easily installed in the engine compartment, between the mechanical and electrical parts of the engine. The Pressure of the Heat-Sensitive Fussible Tube is 16bar. As soon as the activation temperature occurs the tube melts and the drop in pressure activates the system.
2. Early fire detection: The heat of the fire causes an increase in pressure inside the pipe which melts to about 170ºC.).
3. Immediate extinguishing: The sudden pressure drop of the pipe activates the special differential pressure valve and immediately the extinguishing material (TS55) is released throughout the engine compartment where the system is installed. The fire is suppressed in a few seconds after its appearance, minimizing damage.
