Why vehicle fire suppression systems (VFSS) are a critical component of heavy machinery:
Large mobile and specialty equipment can potentially catch fire for several reasons. Many operate virtually nonstop, 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and in remote locations. Due to the nature of the work and the environment in which they operate, this equipment is constantly under pressure.
This equipment uses a variety of flammable liquids, including:
- lubricating oils
- diesel fuels
- greases, and
- hydraulic fluids.
Extreme heat is a significant fire risk, and it can be generated by engine blocks, manifolds, turbochargers, and electrical components. If a fire occurs, it can cause significant downtime and the loss of high-value assets.
While designing vehicle fire suppression systems, operator safety and mitigating the potential for expensive repair or replacement of valuable assets are paramount.
Vehicle systems are custom-designed alongside manufacturer specifications and can include automatic detection or manual activation, logging, and IR and thermal detection abilities. Very large equipment incorporates sophisticated fire detection systems to ensure the operator and equipment are protected.
