Fire Suppression System in Nairobi Kenya
Fire Suppression Systems: Your Ultimate Shield Against Mobile Equipment Fires. Built tough and reliable, these systems swiftly extinguish flames, minimizing damage and ensuring uninterrupted operation in the face of rigorous daily demands..
Reliable Fire Suppression Systems for Heavy-Duty Equipment
AFEX fire suppression systems are purpose-built with the mobile equipment’s harsh operating conditions in mind – long hours, extreme temperatures, and high vibrations, to name a few.
These safety accessories are comprised of four main components that make them an effective opponent against fire:
1. Fire-detecting linear wire or spot sensors strategically placed around the machine near high-risk components, like turbochargers, starters, fuel filters, alternators, etc.
2. A control panel inside the vehicle cab to alert the operator and discharge the onboard fire-fighting agent
3. Tanks filled with fire-fighting dry chemical and/or liquid agent
4. A distribution network of tubes, hoses, and nozzles to dispense the agent into the equipment’s protected areas

Dry Chemical Agent Systems
Dry chemical fire suppression systems offer the fastest fire knockdown with the greatest total coverage. This versatile system is highly effective due to its ability to flood volumes of space, such as a vehicle engine compartment, with a specialized firefighting agent to suppress the flames.
• Protection against Class A (debris), Class B (fuel), and Class C (electrical) fires
• Total-flooding, especially in well enclosed areas
• Unparalleled fire knockdown speed
• Small footprint
Liquid agent systems work by cooling hot surfaces, separating fuel hydrocarbon molecules to prevent fire reignition and forming a layer of foam to suffocate flames. Specifically engineered to safeguard high-heat vehicle components, like turbochargers, exhaust components, and Tier 4 aftertreatment components, liquid agent systems rapidly cool the heated surfaces. This minimizes the risk of re-ignition and ensures the temperature of these sensitive parts remains within safe limits to prevent further fire hazards.
• Protection against Class A (debris) and Class B (fuel) fires
• Excels at cooling hot surfaces in open areas
• Penetrates debris and suppresses pooled fuel fires
• Fights against fire reignition
Liquid Agent Systems
Dual Agent Systems
Combining the best features of dry and liquid agents, dual agent fire suppression systems provide the ultimate protection against mobile equipment fires. Each agent type is used to target fire risk areas they excel best at extinguishing, such as dry chemical for the engine compartment and liquid agent for the turbocharger.
• Total-flooding and unparalleled fire knockdown speed
• Effective at cooling hot surfaces in open areas
• Fights against fire reignition
• Small footprint and more cost-effective than liquid-only systems
