Firetrace direct release systems utilize heat and flame sensitive Firetrace Detection Tubing as a detection device and for suppressant delivery.
How Firetrace detection tubing works
During a fire, the portion of the tube nearest the point where the most heat is detected ruptures, forming a spray nozzle.
The pressure decreases as the tubing releases fire suppression chemical from the cylinder through the spray nozzle (burst hole) to effectively suppress the fire.
A direct release system can be installed to protect multiple enclosures using a single cylinder by routing additional tubing to each enclosed space.
