Cold Fire Extinguishers introduced in Kenya

The Kenyan fire industry is slowly transforming itself to embrace the latest technology in fire suppression systems. The latest entry in the market is the Cold Fire Extinguishing agents. This suppressing agent is completely environmental friendly. This means that the agent is green, non-toxic, non-corrosive and biodegradable. The product is a combination of plant extracts and water and is environmentally friendly; UL listed Wetting Agent for Class A and Class B fires, also works on Class D (metal) fires.

How does it work?
In order to under how Cold Fire extinguishers work, one must be able to understand the components of fire triangle. In order for a fire to be created, three components are necessary, fuel, oxygen, and heat. These three components form what is called a “Fire Triangle”. Most agents extinguish fires by breaking down one leg of the fire triangle to stop the flame propagation. Cold Fire Extinguishers works to break down and remove 2 components from the fire triangle, heat and fuel. ColdFire is considered to have 6 times the penetrating capability of water. This characteristic, coupled with its extraordinary capability to absorb heat, allows the extinguisher to penetrate a fire faster, absorb the heat, and bring the fuel source generating the fire under its flashpoint more quickly. Cold Fire Extinguishers also works to simultaneously encapsulate the fuel source of the fire. It also works to encapsulate the fuels vapors and begins to break down the molecular structure of the hydrocarbon fuel source extinguishing the fire and preventing re-ignition.

Its Advantages 
Cold Fire Suppression Systems offers many advantages over conventional fire suppressing systems:
  • Flexible, narrow tubing enables it to be inserted into small narrow spaces
  • No electricity required; it will work even in electrical failure
  • Virtually no installation limitations
  • Simple design reduces maintenance
  • Always activates at hottest point of the fire
  • Suppresses fire in seconds, minimizing damage
  • Quick and simple installation  
  • The extinguishing agent minimizes damage
  • Cost-effective and practical compared to other extinguishing systems
  • Operational from 120 °F to -65 °F depending on Cold Fire Extinguisher fill
  • Unaffected by moisture intrusion
