UH-ES-AFD01
Technology Overview
Aerosol fire suppression uses a condensed aerosol generator to release a fire-suppressing medium into a protected enclosure. Heat-activated devices can provide supplemental protection for suitable electrical cabinets, control panels and enclosed equipment spaces.
A condensed aerosol fire suppression device contains a solid aerosol-forming compound. When the activation mechanism operates, the compound generates a fire-suppressing aerosol that is discharged into the protected space.
Unlike conventional stored-pressure extinguishers, a condensed aerosol generator does not rely on a pre-pressurized agent cylinder. The suitability and effectiveness of a device depend on its tested characteristics and the conditions inside the protected enclosure.
Small electrical cabinets may contain switching devices, terminals, wiring, control components and other potential heat sources. Aerosol fire suppression can be considered as an additional protective measure in suitably evaluated enclosed spaces.
Potential applications include electrical distribution cabinets, industrial control panels and compatible PV combiner boxes. The presence of electrical equipment alone does not establish that an aerosol device is suitable for a particular installation.
Heat-activated designs initiate aerosol generation when their specified thermal activation conditions are met. Installation requirements, enclosure volume, internal obstructions and environmental conditions must be considered before use.
UHCCY offers the UH-ES-AFD01 aerosol fire extinguishing device for evaluation in small enclosed electrical equipment applications. Refer to the product page for model-specific details and documentation.
Aerosol fire suppression is supplemental protection and does not replace required circuit protection, fire detection or other applicable fire-safety measures.
Key Features
Heat-activated aerosol devices initiate discharge through a thermal activation mechanism, allowing operation without relying on manual activation at the time of a fire event.
A solid aerosol-forming compound produces the extinguishing medium upon activation. The non-pressurized generator design is suitable for consideration in compact fire-suppression applications.
Small aerosol generators can be considered for compatible electrical enclosures where mounting space is limited. Installation suitability must be confirmed against the enclosure design and device documentation.
Testing & Documentation
The corresponding AFED product configuration has been evaluated in a third-party test report referencing EN 15276-1:2019, the European standard covering requirements and test methods for condensed aerosol extinguishing system components.
The test report applies to the identified tested configuration. It should not be interpreted as blanket certification or approval for every installation or destination market.
For information on the standard itself, see the EN 15276-1:2019 standard overview.
FAQ
Common questions about aerosol devices for electrical enclosures.
A condensed aerosol fire suppression device generates a fire-suppressing aerosol from a solid aerosol-forming compound. It can be used in suitable enclosed spaces when the device and installation meet the relevant fire-protection requirements.
They can be considered for suitable electrical enclosures. The cabinet volume, ventilation openings, internal equipment arrangement, installation clearance and applicable fire-protection requirements must be evaluated.
Yes. UHCCY can provide third-party test documentation for the corresponding AFED product configuration upon request. Project-specific compliance and installation suitability require separate review.
