We recently installed our Dual Agent Automatic Fire Suppression System on a Volvo EC500 excavator, providing enhanced protection against fire risks in various industries.
How Fireward’s Dual Agent System Works
Our Dual Agent system combines dry powder and wet chemical suppression agents for complete fire protection. The dry powder quickly knocks down flames, while the wet chemical cools engine components to prevent reignition. Both agents are delivered through strategically positioned nozzles, triggered by a pneumatic detection tube that bursts when exposed to heat, activating the suppression system.
System highlights:
Dry Powder – Fast flame knockdown and deep fire penetration
Wet Chemical – Cools engine components to prevent reignition
Pneumatic Detection – Tube bursts under heat to trigger release
Indirect Release System – Agents delivered via nozzles for full coverage
Additional Features:
Machine Shutdown – Cuts the engine automatically to reduce fuel-fed fires
Manual Actuator – Gives operators manual override for instant fire suppression
Battery Isolator – Disconnects power to minimise electrical fire risks
In-cab Monitor – Alerts the operator when fire is detected and suppressed
