19” INRACK FIRE SUPRESSION SYSTEM

Representing the future in cabinet protection; Inrack fire suppression system is a self contained automatic fire extinguishing system for rack enclosures and equipment cabinets, which can be used in all industry sectors to protect valuable assets and critical systems and processes.   Designed to be housed in 19” racking systems for the protection of electronic equipment, The unit is fully capable of detecting a fire using a range of proven and approved fire detection sensors.   If a fire condition is detected, the system can automatically respond to the hazard by controlling a planned release of proven fire extinguishing gas into the enclosure; all within 10 seconds of the detection of a fire condition. The unit also carries on-board processing and communication functions to pass on information to building management and security systems. Signals can be sent to other equipment via Form ‘C’ VFCC to inform of the units status and to key personnel for immediate investigation.   Inrack fire suppression system is also suitable for non-19” applications through its unique mounting tray layout, which can be accommodated within top and side-mounted boxes, as well as being installed to side walls within non-19” equipment cabinets. Where standard rack enclosures are used, the Inrack unit is sited at the top of each rack.   By siting the 19” Inrack fire suppression system at the top of each equipment rack the individual piece of equipment is being protected right at the heart of the potential risk, therefore more accurately pinpointing the fire at a very early stage and eliminating the need to discharge large costly amounts of fire suppressant. Designed around existing fire detection/control standards and also within the existing performance requirements for extinguishing systems. This is crucial in ensuring that all parts, bottles, valves, smoke detectors, etc; are pre-approved. Similarly, the unit undergoes continual assessment testing under different fire and hazard conditions; again to ensure that each application is fully understood and the Inrack system is able to detect a fire hazard and take the appropriate action to annunciate and contain the condition.
