ANSUL specifically designed the ANSUL® SAPPHIRE COMPACT Direct Low Pressure (DLP) Fixed Fire Suppression System to safeguard small electrical enclosures. A self-contained system, it requires no power for either detection or operation and protects enclosures that use either natural ventilation or forced airflow. One system can protect up to four enclosures, and each enclosure can contain multiple compartments.
We’ve meticulously engineered our system to meet the rigorous standards set by Loss Prevention Standard, LPS 1666. These guidelines meticulously outline the requirements and test procedures essential for obtaining LPCB approval for direct low-pressure (DLP) application fixed fire suppression systems. We strategically route specialized pressurized detection tubing throughout high-risk zones within the enclosure. The tubing is purposefully designed to rupture when exposed to flame impingement or elevated ambient temperature. Afterward, the fire-suppressing clean agent forcefully discharges from the interconnected container through the tubing’s rupture point, precisely targeting and efficiently mitigating the fire.
SAPPHIRE COMPACT fire suppression systems require no power for detection or operation. We strategically route detection tubing through the high-risk areas of the enclosure, ensuring rapid and effective detection. Upon flame impingement or high ambient temperature, the pressurised detection tube will rupture. The connected container forcefully discharges the extinguishing agent through the rupture point directly onto the fire.
SAPPHIRE COMPACT systems utilise 3M™ Novec™ 1230 Fire Protection Fluid, an electrically non-conductive clean agent. If discharged, the agent will not damage electronic equipment or the data stored on it and has zero ozone depleting potential and negligible global warming potential.
