Page 7: Design Of The Af-X Fireblocker
All types are equipped with a heat absorbing mechanism (insulation). A tension of 6-36 V (Direct Current) on the AF-X Fireblocker and an electric current of at least 1,0 amperes for 1-2 seconds activates the extinguishing agent and convert it into dispersed nano particles. The aerosol is then cooled by the heat absorbing elements and discharged into the protected area, blocking the fire by stopping the combustion chain reaction. -

AF-X Fireblocker Aerosol in the area to be protected. The aerosol formed by the AF-X Fireblocker leaves the generator at some speed. This can be observed as a spreading transparent-white cloud. The temperature of this cloud, consisting of extremely small nanoparticles, is usually somewhat higher than its surroundings. -
Page 10: Calculation Of Quantity And Type
Calculation of quantity and type When you have the protected volume at hand you can use the AF-X Fireblocker Density Calculation Sheet to determine the amount of extinguishant you need and which types of extinguishing generators to choose. This Calculation Sheet is available for trained technicians upon request with AF-X Systems at all times. -
