Fire Protection for the Communications Industry

Telecommunications facilities can range from large network control centres to unmanned remote switching locations. Both types of facilities contain high-value electronic equipment which must operate 24/7 or the facility’s owner is out of business. Fires normally occur as the result of overheating situations or short circuits but can also be caused by natural disasters or sabotage. They often go unnoticed, in an electronic equipment cabinet or in a subfloor, until they’ve grown to a size and intensity that threatens the entire facility.

SUPPRESSION

ADS™ with HFC-227ea Clean Agent Fire Suppression

The Kidde Fire Systems ADS™ with HFC-227ea Clean Agent Suppression System was developed by our engineers to provide economical protection for larger enclosures requiring longer agent flow distances. Its innovative technology allows the ADS to deliver mass flow rates 2.5 to 3 times faster than a standard clean agent system. This innovation allows networking of longer pipe runs in complex configurations with smaller pipe sizes for protection of larger hazard areas.

ECS-500™ with Kidde Fluoro-K Fire Suppression Agent

The Kidde ECS-500™ type Clean Agent Suppression System using Fluoro-K provides superior performance compared to standard 360 psi (25 bar) systems. The higher storage pressure of 500 psi (35 bar) enables improvement of agent travel distance for applications where ADS™ performance levels are not required. Now you have the flexibility of a mid-tier solution to meet application size, design requirements and the client’s budget.

Inert Gas Fire Suppression System

Inert gas fire suppression systems use naturally occurring gases like nitrogen, argon, and carbon dioxide to extinguish fires by reducing the oxygen concentration in a protected area. These systems are environmentally friendly, safe for humans, and cause minimal damage to equipment.

DETECTION

Kidde Senator HSSD System

Laser-based high-sensitivity smoke detection system designed to detect fire in the incipient stage. Recommended for critical facilities such as data centres and telecommunications facilities. Thousands of times more sensitive than conventional detectors, the Kidde Senator employs particle size discrimination technology to reduce the occurrence of nuisance alarms. System consists of a detector head, piping network and optional LCD display module.
