System spots enclosure fires early

A Rittal product story
Edited by the Engineeringtalk editorial team Jan 15, 2008

Early detection is reliably ensured even at the pyrolysis phase, due to the built-in smoke extraction system.

By actively and continuously monitoring the air within the protected enclosure for smoke aerosols, the new Rittal rack extinguisher system Detection-Active (DET-AC) can offer early detection of fire sources.

DET-AC is equipped with a multistage smoke analysis extraction system, which triggers extinguisher actions if required, providing direct fire protection for valuable hardware and data.

Early detection is reliably ensured even at the pyrolysis phase, due to the built-in smoke extraction system.

DET-AC continuously checks the air within the enclosure for smoke aerosols, if indicator 1 detects smoke, an alarm is triggered, if indicator 2 detects smoke, the fire is actively extinguished.

DET-AC may be mounted directly in the 19in mounting level of the rack.

Several racks or rack sites may also be controlled and extinguished with one 3U unit.

DET-AC is also suitable for bayed enclosure suites using the cooling package LCP.

The eco-friendly, nontoxic extinguisher medium means the extinguisher system is suitable for universal use.
