Trace
AUTOMATIC TRACE DETECTION SYSTEMS
These systems consist of a pressurised trace tube installed in or above
the equipment to be protected, attached to a cylinder containing gas, dry
powder, or foam extinguishant. In the event of a fire the tube will rupture
at the hottest point (next to the fire) forming a nozzle to discharge the
extinguishant.
The capacity of the cylinder is calculated to enable when activated, the
whole area to be made inert
The system requires no external power source and can be fitted with a
NO/NC pressure activated switch suitable for wiring into plant shutdown
or alarm.
