Dry Powder Mining Machine Automatic Fire Suppression System

Product Description

Product Description:

Dry powder Cartridge bottle Mining Vehicle Automatic Fire Suppression System is an automatic or manually triggered fire suppression system designed specifically for the extreme fire hazards present in large mining equipment like haul trucks, excavators, loaders, and bulldozers.
 

Why we need it?

The mining automatic fire suppression system is a mandatory safety requirement on most mine sites for the following critical reasons:

To Save Lives: The primary reason. A large mining vehicle fire can trap and kill an operator in minutes. The system provides a critical window for escape by rapidly suppressing the fire and creating a survivable environment.


Catastrophic Financial Loss: A single large mining haul truck can cost $5 million USD or more. Losing one to a fire is a massive financial hit, not including the lost production revenue, which can be tens of thousands of dollars per hour.

Rapid Fire Spread: Fires in these confined engine compartments can grow from a small leak to a fully involved, uncontrollable fire in 60-90 seconds. A handheld fire extinguisher is often useless against such a rapidly developing fire.

Protection of Critical Assets: Beyond the vehicle itself, a fire can spread to other equipment or the mine itself, leading to an even larger disaster.

System Drawing:

Auto Activation Method:

The linear heat detection tubing is the most common trigger. This special tube will burst at a predetermined temperature (e.g., 138ºC or 180 ºC). When it bursts, the pressure drop in the tube is sensed by the system's actuation valve. This valve then pierces the high-pressure nitrogen cartridge, which forces the suppression agent out of the bottle and through the discharge nozzles, flooding the protected areas within seconds.

Manual Activation Method:

On the control panel, there is a manual button, reset button, lights, etc. in Emergency pushing the manual button can activate the fire system too. We can also use the manual actuation device to start the fire system, When you press the actuactor(3) , then the released pressure will be delivered to pneumatic actuator(5). Then it will open the expellant gas cartridage(6), the released expellant gas will be delivered to the fire agent bottle(8). Then the fire agent will discharge to the fire areas from the 
pipe and nozzles.
If the detection cable not connected to control panel or damaged the, the control panel will alarm.
