fire detection tube extinguishing system
The FK-5112 automatic detection tube fire suppression system uses the tubing as both the detector and the discharge nozzle. When the tubing is exposed to high heat, it directly releases clean agent to suppress the fire. It is suitable for electrical cabinets, MDB cabinets, control panels, and machinery requiring localized protection.
Details and features
Fully Autonomous System: No external power supply or control system required.
Fast and Accurate Detection: The detection tube immediately releases the fire extinguishing agent when exposed to high heat at the source of the fire.
Flexible Design: Suitable for localized installation in enclosed and narrow spaces such as electrical cabinets, control cabinets, and various machinery.
High-Efficiency Fire Extinguishing Agent: Uses PAF-222 Clean Agent [FK-5-1-12].

What is a Fire Detection Tube Fire Suppression System?
It is a localized fire suppression system (Local Application) that utilizes a special polymer tube designed to act as both a heat detection device and a fire suppressing agent delivery line. When a fire occurs, the portion of the tube exposed to critical high temperatures (170°C) will burst automatically to form a discharge nozzle, releasing clean agent to suppress the fire directly at its source before it can spread.
It stands out for its fire-fighting efficiency without leaving any residue after discharge, causing no damage to electrical equipment. Therefore, it is highly suitable for areas requiring special protection, such as electrical cabinets, MDB cabinets, control panels, system control rooms, and small enclosed spaces that may not be constantly manned by personnel.
What areas are suitable for a Fire Detection Tube Fire Suppression System?
A fire detection tube fire suppression system is suitable for enclosed or semi-enclosed spaces with localized risks, especially areas containing electrical equipment, control devices, or machinery that require protection and suppression in the form of Direct Suppression (suppressing fire directly at the source).
Application Area | Why It Is Suitable |
Electrical Cabinet / MDB Cabinet | It is an enclosed space with a high density of electrical equipment, posing a high risk of heat accumulation or electrical short circuits. |
Control Panel | Suitable for electrical control panels, machinery controls, or various automation systems. |
Machinery | Used to protect localized risk points inside machinery or near control equipment. |
Electrical Room | Used to supplement localized protection inside electrical cabinets or main control panels to prevent fire from spreading outward. |
Data Center / Server Room | Considered for installation inside server cabinets or racks representing specific localized risks, with operation coordinated with the room's main fire suppression system. |
Factory / Warehouse | Suitable for electrical control cabinets, machinery, or critical systems that must operate continuously 24 hours a day. |
Key Features of the Fire Detection Tube Fire Suppression System
It is ideal for work environments that require fire extinguishing agents to be discharged directly into the source of fire immediately, rather than dispersing the agent throughout the entire room (Total Flooding). Thus, it perfectly meets the needs of small spaces or specific localized risks requiring rapid and precise response.
Key highlights to consider:
Fully Automatic System: An automatic tube-based fire suppression system that operates completely on its own.
Clean and Safe: Uses PAF-222 Clean Agent [FK-5-1-12], a high-efficiency clean extinguishing agent that is non-conductive and leaves no residue.
Smart Detection Tube: A special polymer tube acts as both a heat detector and a fire suppression discharge nozzle in one.
Independent Operation: Does not rely on external power supplies or control systems to activate.
Equipment-Friendly: Does not cause collateral damage to electronic equipment unlike dry chemical powder fire extinguishers.
24-Hour Surveillance: Ideal for high-risk spots without constant personnel presence, offering round-the-clock protection.
Why Fire Detection Tube Fire Suppression Systems are Ideal for Electrical Cabinets
Inside electrical cabinets, MDB cabinets, and control panels, there is always a concentration of various electrical components installed within highly confined spaces, such as cables, breakers, relays, circuit boards, and other control units. When heat accumulation or electrical short circuits occur, the ignition source is typically inside the cabinet, which is not immediately visible to users outside.
A fire detection tube fire suppression system is an excellent match for these areas because its tubing can be routed directly alongside specialized risk points inside the cabinet or close to target devices. Once a spark occurs or temperatures spike, the polymer tube segment exposed to heat ruptures and sprays clean agent straight at the source of the fire instantly, before it escalates to cause widespread damage.
How do Fire Detection Tube Fire Suppression Systems differ from Fire Extinguishers and other systems?
Fire detection tube fire suppression systems, portable fire extinguishers, and various other automatic fire suppression systems have distinctly different operations and protective scopes. They can be utilized together to complement and form a comprehensive fire protection strategy.
Type | Operational characteristics | Suitable for |
Fire Detection Tube Fire Suppression System | The detection tube senses heat and automatically discharges the extinguishing agent directly into the event source immediately. | Electrical Cabinets, MDB Cabinets, Control Panels, Inside Machinery |
PAF-222 Clean Agent Fire Extinguisher (MJZ Series) | A portable hand-held fire extinguisher that requires an eyewitness to manually operate and suppress the fire. | General areas, Electrical rooms, Server rooms, Offices |
Automatic Thermal Clean Agent Extinguisher (PZGW Series) | An automatic localized fire extinguisher (installed on ceilings/at risk points) that triggers when heat reaches a set threshold. | Large electrical cabinets, Small risk points, Enclosed unmanned areas |
Cabinet Fire Suppression System | A packaged cabinet-style automatic fire suppression system designed to discharge clean agent to protect an entire room. | Server rooms, Electrical rooms, System control rooms |
Engineered Fire Suppression System | An engineered automatic fire suppression system with piped networks designed according to engineering standards to protect large spaces or zones. | Data Centers, Large server rooms, High-voltage electrical rooms |
Things to check before installing a Fire Detection Tube Fire Suppression System
Before deciding on a fire detection tube fire suppression system, you should prepare information regarding the work area and equipment details clearly. This ensures calculations for cylinder size, agent volume, and tube routing can be designed with optimal performance and maximum safety.
Important details to check and prepare:
Type of equipment: Such as electrical cabinets, MDB cabinets, control panels, or specialized machinery.
Cabinet dimensions or enclosed volume: (Width x Length x Height) of the target area to protect.
Location of risk points and heat sources: To route the tubing precisely through the hazard spots.
Space for cylinder installation and tube routing: Assess space availability for mounting the cylinder and bending parameters of the tube.
Selecting the right model: Choose a model class that corresponds to the specific volumetric space.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is a fire detection tube fire suppression system?
It is an automatic fire suppression system that utilizes a "heat detection tube" to act as both a detection device and an agent delivery channel. When the tube detects high heat from a fire, it ruptures on that spot and instantly discharges clean agent straight into the source of the fire.
What extinguishing agent does this system use?
It uses PAF-222 Clean Agent [FK-5-1-12], which leaves no residue and does not damage electronic equipment.
Is it suitable for electrical cabinets or control panels?
It is highly suitable for electrical cabinets, MDB cabinets, and control panels because they are enclosed spaces with highly concentrated risks that are usually unmanned.
What is the activation temperature of the system?
The system triggers automatically at a temperature of approximately 170°C.
