 CT Model: Direct Actuation
This is a pre World War II invention although some imply it was invented in the 1970’s. Simple in concept, it proved extremely difficult to construct due to the permeability of the only plastics available in the 1940’s. An Engineer that was familiar with the melt tube design since 1964 was able with modern designer plastics, to create the critical design detail and manufacturing methods to overcome the problems experienced by earlier manufacturers. Cold Fire Super Systems CT model design is registered internationally and consist of standard cylinders permanently attached to specially engineered proprietary modified nylon (PMN) Detection tubing and capped on the other end. Heat touching any point on the tube causes it to rupture precisely at that point releasing the ColdFire® of both cylinder and tube directly towards the heat source. In this way, the Detection tube acts as an infinite array of combined detectors and nozzles. Unlike systems with electronic detectors, the suppressant is discharged accurately towards the heat source. There is no need for overkill in terms of cylinder capacity as Cold Fire Super Systems CT Model are able to suppress the fire at the point of outbreak, before it has had a chance to spread.  Cold Fire Super Systems CT Model has no moving parts, and does not rely on any electrical input, wires, detectors, solenoids, batteries, switches or circuitry. This equipment costs only a fraction of electrically triggered hard plumbed systems, yet is more reliable, reacts quicker, and with more accuracy. Cold Fire Super Systems CT Model, can be used for; on and off-road vehicles, marine craft, machinery, heavy equipment, chemical cabinets, locomotives, aerospace, mines, and tunnels. The list is unlimited. Cold Fire Super Systems have developed a range of optional equipment for use with the CT Model. This includes full length Spring Guard for use in rough environments, remote pressure gauge to monitor system pressure, and pressure switch which can be used for alarm indication, engine or plant shut down. Cold Fire Super Systems CT Model uses ColdFire® exclusively and are available in 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, and 12 Liter Stainless Steel cylinders. Drawings: Standard: Mounting is vertical Optional: Horizontal Detection tube melts at a temperature peak of 176°F Standard: ColdFire® is rated for 32 °F Optional: ColdFire® Premix available rated for 0 °F, -25 °F, -45 °F, and -65 °F |
