Loss of a critical power source can devastate a key process or industrial asset.  Protect that power source from fire with a cost-effective and simple solution.

SEVO's FLEX™ is an automatic and completely self-contained fire suppression system that protects engine compartments of critical power equipment. This snap-in fire extinguishing technology installs in minutes and can feature a pressure switch interface for activation of a required alarm or shut-down sequence. Three sizes of FLEX™ systems are offered. The largest size is pre-engineered for hazards up to 250 cubic feet of volume (5 ft x 5 ft x 6 ft). These fire extinguishing systems are very robust.

SEVO's Flex™ uses Novec™ 1230 fire protection fluid which has a near zero atmospheric lifetime and near zero global warming potential.  Novec™ 1230 is non-toxic and is capable of being dispensed in “local application” or “streaming” system designs.  Novec™ 1230 is EPA approved, as well as UL-listed.

The fire detection mechanism used by the SEVO™ Flex system is a flexible 6mm polymer tubing that is specially formulated to indefinitely hold a charge of nitrogen.  Once pressurized to about 200 psi with N2, the differential valve on the tank of fire suppressant is seated by slowly turning a ball valve between the linear detection tubing and the top side of the valve.  After the valve is open, a sudden drop in pressure, caused by the incidence of fire or other mechanical release, will allow the valve piston to move upwards and thereby release the tank of fire suppressant.

• Self contained, compact
