Description
Fire Extinguisher Ball (also known as an automatic fire extinguishing ball or “Elide Fire Ball”) is an innovative, self-activating fire suppression device designed for rapid and hands-free response to nascent (beginning) fires. Unlike traditional fire extinguishers that require manual operation, this spherical device is either thrown into a fire-installed in high-risk areas.
Features:
- Self-Activating Mechanism: The primary feature is its ability to automatically activate when it comes into direct contact with flames for a few seconds, or when exposed to sufficient heat A small internal fuse or charge ignites.
- Agent Discharge: Upon activation, the ball ruptures and disperses a powerful burst of Dry Chemical Powder (DCP), typically an rated agent, variants, a clean agent. This powder rapidly smothers the fire, cutting off oxygen and disrupting the combustion process.
- Roll/Throw: Can be safely rolled thrown directly into a developing fire from a distance.
- Class A: Ordinary combustibles (wood, paper, fabrics).
- Class B: Flammable liquids (petrol, oil, paint).
- Class C: Energized electrical equipment.
- Safety Distance: Allows users to combat a fire from a safe distance by throwing it, reducing direct exposure to flames and heat.
- Alarm Function: Some models incorporate an audible alarm that sounds upon activation, alerting occupants to the fire.
- Long Shelf Life & Low Maintenance: Typically requires minimal maintenance and has a long shelf life (often 5 years), as it’s a self-contained unit.
- Lightweight & Compact: Despite its power, the ball is usually lightweight (around 1.3 kg to 1.5 kg) and spherical, making it easy for anyone to handle and deploy.
- Unattended Areas: Protecting electrical panels, server racks, engine compartments, and storage areas.
-
Homes & Offices: Providing an accessible first response tool in kitchens, living spaces, or workstations
-
.Vehicles: For cars, boats, and $\text{RV}$s where quick action on engine or cabin fires is needed
