Very cool fire extinguisher for 16x16 ft area

We just got these in at work - Haven Fire Suppression - they install into the ceiling & when activated by heat, uses CO2 to eject a non-toxic, flame killing powder. 16 x 16 area (256 sq ft) is huge to cover & this thing is $199. ABC extinguisher, so it's electric fire safe.

Not sure what you mean - I'm not selling these, they just showed at work.

You've seen these for $35?

Holy shit man, tell everyone where!

That system would only fight the fire, not suppress it completely.



Water – Good for Class A fires. Extinguishers are heavy, difficult to store, and are NOT for use on flammable liquid or electrical fires.

Carbon Dioxide (CO2) – Good for Class B and Class C fires. No residue. Easy to use. Useful only in confined interior spaces. Does not cool fire.

HFC-227ea – Relatively non-toxic Halon replacements are effective on all fire classes. Expensive.

Novec™ 1230 – New 3M agent is an environmentally-sustainable replacement for HFC-227 or FM200. No potential damage to the ozone layer or global warming potential. Effective on all fire classes and leaves no residue after use.

Halotron 1 – EPA-approved. Safe for computers, electronics, even clean rooms, and leaves no residue after use.

Dry Chemical – Low toxicity. Inexpensive. Effective on Class B and Class C fires. Not effective on Class A fires. Difficult to clean up.

Tri-Class Dry Chemical – Low toxicity. Inexpensive. Effective on Class B and Class C fires. Moderately effective on Class A fires. Difficult to clean up. Corrosive. Not a good choice for helm or nav station.

Aqueous Foam – This relatively new technology is extremely easy to use effectively on Class A, B, and C fires. Avoid excessive skin or eye contact.

Expensive, but if you're serious, I'd get several of these: http://www.westmarine.com/buy/sea-f...on-systems-disposable--P014180699?recordNum=6

watts, some cool info. It must be a nightmare for firefighters entering an unknown hazardous area where there's crap from all different classes burning! endless respect for those men and women

i was reading https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firefighting_foam
This sounds cool:

In 2010, Orchidee International of France developed the first FFHPF, the highest performing fluorine-free foam. The foam has achieved a 97% degradability rating and is currently marketed by Orchidee International under the brand name "BluFoam". The foam is used at 3% both on hydrocarbon and polar solvent fires.

I think it is a great idea for in room fire protection.

Check out Flame Defender.

I've read flame defenders don't hold their charge for long.

This system would be nice..
