KIDDE DUAL SPECTRUM® AUTOMATIC FIRE/EXPLOSION SUPPRESSION SYSTEMS
■Fast detect-to-suppression reaction times
▲The Collins Aerospace Kidde Dual Spectrum® automatic fire/explosion suppression (AFES) systems comprise extremely fast and highly accurate Dual Spectrum sensors that detect fires and explosions in zones such as crew areas and engine compartments. Additional protection systems are available supporting external, wheel and track areas.
▲The AFES extinguishers are equipped with high-speed valves to immediately flood affected compartments with efficient and approved extinguishing agents. Typical reaction times from detection to full suppression are 120 to 150 milliseconds.
▲Fires or explosions caused by rounds penetrating the vehicle are effectively suppressed by this near-instantaneous response and remain within U.S. government LOAEL/NOAEL specifications for personnel.
▲Constant monitoring of unobserved areas such as engine compartments or mechanical areas ensures that fires do not become established when using our Kidde sensors and detectors.
▲Over 275,000 vehicles in more than 20 countries worldwide are fitted with our Kidde AFES systems. Drawing on our more than 40 years of fire suppression experience, AFES safeguards crews and vehicles automatically and at reaction times that cannot be matched by manual systems.
