THERMO-ACT
Fire Extinguishing System
INTRODUCTION
SFFECO Thermo-Act systems are the advanced technology of automatic fire suppression systems.
The systems provide a self activating suppression system that suppresses fires in seconds. They are
simple design and installation with low maintenance, highly cost effective and reliable. The electrical
or pneumatic sources shall not be required to our Thermo-Act systems. The systems can be used in the
presence of an increased risk of fire.
SFFECO Thermo-Act systems utilize fire flexible tube for fire detection. Thus, the fire detection and
extinguishing system is not required to detect and discharge.
SFFECO Thermo-Act systems can be designed with commercial available agents including clean agent,
wet chemical, Foam, and dry powder. The systems may be arranged as:

Rev 7: 05/2015

Direct System
SFFECO Thermo-Act direct system for low pressure
agent as shown below uses the flexible tube
as both the detection device and extinguishing
discharge system. In case of fire, the section of
tube most exposed to heat will rupture forming a
discharge nozzle. The suppressant agent is then
completely released due to pressure drop in the
tube.

TECHNICAL DATA SHEET

Indirect System
SFFECO Thermo-Act indirect system for low
pressure agent as shown below uses the tube as
a fire detection device only. The fire suppression
agent is delivered through a special copper or
stainless steel tubing system. Once the tube
ruptures due to heat exposure, the drop in
pressure activates the indirect valve to direct the
flow of suppression agent to diffuser nozzles via
a fixed tubing system. This system is usually used
in large areas.

PROBLEMS & SOLUTIONS
The Problem
Electrical enclosures can be found in virtually any industrial or commercial space. In some cases the enclosure
might be a single small panel while in others it may involve a large room filled with electrical boxes. Should a
fire occur in one of these cabinets, it would typically destroy the contents, but unchecked the fire could take the
room or even the building, costing money and downtime.
Regardless of the number of enclosures, Thermo-Act offers a reliable, cost-effective method to increase the fire
protection of these areas by detecting and suppressing the fire in the cabinet itself.
The Solution
Because Thermo-Act takes the fire detection and suppression inside of the hazard, a growing fire can be
caught quickly, preventing the spread of fire to other parts of the building that would require firefighters or water
sprinklers to extinguish.
By containing the fire to the individual enclosure damage is limited to that enclosure and the collateral damage
often caused by traditional fire suppression is avoided.
