Many vehicle manufacturers are constantly looking for fire suppression systems that can be used in engine compartment, as traditional fire suppression system are very big size, so till now people find out three products that could be installed in the vehicle engines.
Firstly, The ABC dry chemical powder fire extinguisher
Workshop can produce this product into many shape, such as “bowl shape”, “ball shape”, “twin jet” etc, the super-fine ABC dry chemical powder fire extinguisher could installed in the Engine room very well, and till now it is very popular product around the world.
The representative products is: Bowl Shape Aerosol Fire Suppression Device.
Its disadvantages is: after releasing, it will leave white colour of powder, and the power it left is hard to clean up, also the residue will cause a bit corrosion to the engines.
