NASA Linear Heat Sensing Tube Based Suppression System
NASA Linear Heat Sensing Tube based
Automatic Suppression System Overview
NASA's fire protection - direct release systems utilize the Linear Fire Sensing tube as both the "detection device" and "extinguishant delivery". As the fire begins, the portion of the linear heat sensing tube nearest to the point where the most heat is detected ruptures, forming and effective spray nozzle. The pressure will then drop as the NASA linear heat sensing tube releases the entire contents of the cylinder through the distribution nozzle to effectively suppress the fire. Our fire suppression systems are critical for safety and protecting your valuable equipment.
