New technology for fire security when

working with electrical equipment

According to statistic, every fifth fire starts because of electrical wiring
and electrical equipment problems.

Under ordinary conditions, the agent is securely stored in capsules.
Being completely isolated of environment , it emanates no vapor or
gases. Can be stored for years, remaining fully operational and
ready for fire extinguishing.
AST protection technology: autonomous
microencapsulated outgassing thermal activated
fire extinguishing system
Upon heating, the micro-capsules
response to ignition on their own and
release desired amount of the fire
retardant instantly quenching the flame.
In the process of extinguishing, the
hotbed of fire is the only place
subjected to action of the agent while
surrounding structures and objects
remain unaffected.

AST uses a combination of chladones as an extinguishing agent. The
extinguishing agent is stored inside capsules in a liquid state. When the
temperature rises to a predetermined threshold, the liquid boils and
quenching occurs in the gas phase.
AST protection technology: autonomous
microencapsulated outgassing thermal activated
fire extinguishing system
This principle is classified as a
volumetric gas quenching.
Extinguishing mechanism is based on
the chemical inhibition of the
combustion reaction. When injected into
the combustion zone inhibitor
decomposes with the formation of free
radicals, which react with the primary
products of combustion. Thus, the
combustion reaction inhibited.

Regulatory changes:
According to the SP 5.13130.2009 considering changes 1,
enacted by Order of MES of Russia 01.06.2011 274

Switchboards and cabinets (including distributional ones), located in
the premises of a F1.1 fire hazard class (equivalent to 100 liters)
MUST be protected autonomous fire extinguishing (p.8 Table A4)
F1.1 fire hazard class includes: buildings preschool educational
institutions, specialized nursing homes (non apartment type),
hospitals, dormitories educational residential care and childcare.

Regulatory changes:

According to the SP 5.13130.2009 considering changes 1, enacted by Order of
MES of Russia 01.06.2011 274

Premises for computing machinery, equipment control system working in the
management of complex technological processes, the violation of which affects the
safety of the people regardless of the area, MUST be equipped with automatic fire
extinguishing systems, but if all electronic and electrical equipment is protected by
autonomous fire-fighting installations, such extinguishing systems may not be
installed. As premises for the communication processors (servers), magnetic media
archives, plotters, printing information on paper (printer) area of 24 m2 or more, must
be equipped with automatic fire extinguishing. And it is allowed not to use such
facilities, provided that all electronic and electrical equipment is protected by
autonomous fire-fighting installations. (Paragraph 35 Table A3).
Thus, the operator of the premises has a choice between automatic gas fire
extinguishing systems for protection of facilities and stand-alone equipment to protect
electrical equipment.
