Jactone PAFSS Direct Low Pressure (DLP) fixed fire suppression systems, which utilize 3M™ Novec™ 1230 Fire Protection Fluid, are the only systems in the world approved to LPCB standard LPS 1666 that have an allowance for vents (openings) and airflow (fans).
This provision in PAFSS also future proofs the system performance against maintenance/modifications that introduce further vent areas to the enclosure.
It is essential to discuss this issue when enquiring about the certification status of a particular system.
What Is LPS1666?
LPS1666 is the LPCB certification standard for the approval of Direct Low Pressure (DLP) application fixed fire suppression systems.
PAFSS was the first system in the world to meet the requirements of the new standard.
Certified Systems to this standard are especially suitable for the protection of high-risk or vital infrastructure energized enclosures, often used to house electrical distribution, switchgear, control, communication, and IT equipment.
Protecting Valuable Assets
PAFSS DLP systems can reduce the risk of injury to personnel and losses caused by equipment downtime
PAFSS DLP systems protect the enclosure and discharge at the heart of the fire, extinguishing quickly and preventing the fire from spreading to neighboring equipment and the wider building. This can significantly reduce the risk of injury to personnel and losses caused by equipment downtime and operational disruption.
PAFSS DLP systems utilize 3M™ Novec™ 1230 Fire Protection Fluid, an electrically non-conductive clean agent. If discharged, it does no damage to electronic equipment or the data stored on it.
New Thinking And New Solutions
With the publication of the new LPCB standard LPS1666, the landscape for certification of systems protecting small energized enclosures from a fire has changed.
