PAFSS® FIRE SUPPRESSION SYSTEMS
Looking for professional fire suppression in Northern Ireland? SCT Fire & Safety Protection supplies and installs PAFSS® fire suppression systems, providing automatic fire suppression for suitable electrical equipment, industrial machinery and commercial vehicles.
SCT supplies and installs specialist fire suppression systems across Northern Ireland and Ireland. In particular, our solutions help detect and suppress fires at an early stage, reducing the risk of serious damage, costly downtime and disruption to your business.
Fire can spread quickly, especially in areas containing electrical equipment, machinery or combustible materials. Therefore, taking a proactive approach to fire protection can make a significant difference when an emergency occurs.
Since 2019, SCT has worked in partnership with Jactone, supplying and installing PAFSS® (Pneumatically Actuated Fire Suppression Systems) technology.
Furthermore, these automatic systems provide targeted fire protection for a wide range of applications, including commercial kitchens, electrical enclosures, industrial machinery and commercial vehicles.
By detecting and suppressing a fire close to its source, a suitable system can help limit damage to critical equipment. Consequently, businesses may also benefit from reduced repair costs and a faster return to normal operations.
In addition, whether you need fire suppression for a new installation or want to improve protection for existing equipment, SCT can help you find a suitable solution.
How PAFSS® Automatic Fire Suppression Systems Work
PAFSS® automatic fire suppression systems are designed to detect and suppress fires close to their source, helping protect valuable equipment and reduce potential damage.
Unlike methods that rely on someone discovering a fire, PAFSS systems can activate automatically when their detection tubing is exposed to sufficient heat.
To achieve this, the system uses specially designed detection tubing installed within or around the area requiring protection. When the tubing reaches its activation temperature, the system responds and releases its fire suppression agent.
Depending on the system design, the suppression agent is discharged directly at the affected area or through strategically positioned nozzles. As a result, the system can tackle the fire at an early stage, before it has an opportunity to spread further.
Because PAFSS systems operate automatically, they can provide valuable protection in enclosed or difficult-to-access areas. For example, these include electrical cabinets, machinery compartments, commercial vehicles and industrial equipment.
Consequently, early fire suppression can help limit damage to critical assets. Furthermore, reducing the extent of a fire may help businesses avoid lengthy repairs, equipment replacement and extended operational downtime.
In addition, the PAFSS range, developed by Jactone, offers specialist fire protection solutions for a variety of commercial and industrial applications.
Importantly, these systems can provide automatic protection 24 hours a day, 365 days a year — even when equipment is unattended.
