Operating Principle
Industrial electrical enclosures feature permanent ventilation openings, cable penetrations, and technical gaps that make long-term airtightness unrealistic. We therefore adjust the extinguishing agent quantity to compensate for leakage. Fire outbreaks are detected at the ignition source, and a dry contact output is made available after activation to disconnect the main power supply and secure your installations.
The Reflexofeu Solution
An approach specifically designed for real industrial operating conditions
Detection
Abnormal heating detected by tube or thermal head
Activation
Pressure drop and mechanical opening of the valve
Diffusion
FK-5-1-12 diffused directly onto the risk zone
Securing
Automatic securing, extinguishing in less than 3 seconds
Detection at the Core of the Components
Direct detection at the heart of high-risk components, independent of enclosure airtightness.
Linear Heat Detection Tube
Linear thermal detection tube
Continuous detection along the entire length
The tube ruptures at the exact location of the fire, triggering targeted extinguishing.
Mechanical activation without electricity
Autonomous operation, independent of any electrical power supply or control panel.
Flexible and modular installation
Adapts to all volumes and configurations of electrical cabinets.
Point-Type Thermal Bulb
Point thermal detection head
Precisely calibrated temperatures
Triggering at predefined thermal thresholds, adapted to each application.
Targeted detection on high-risk components
Direct positioning on hot spots: variable speed drives, batteries, busbars.
Rapid on-site installation
Simple assembly without works, compatible with cabinets in service.
FK-5-1-12 Clean Agent
Clean gaseous agent, residue-free, electrically non-conductive, fully compatible with energized electrical equipment.
Technical characteristics
- Non-conductive, compatible with energized equipment
- Residue-free, no post-intervention cleaning required
- Extinguishing in less than 3 seconds
- Concentration: 4.5% to 5.3% by volume
Environmental impact
- Global warming potential: GWP = 1
- Atmospheric lifetime: 5 days
- Zero impact on the ozone layer (ODP = 0)
- No risk to groundwater
- Compliant with European F-Gas regulation
Localized Suppression Independent of Airtightness
Immediate system isolation through automatic disconnection of power supply and ventilation. The system acts directly on the hazard zone without depending on overall enclosure airtightness.
Measured results
- •Fewer production stoppages
- •Less material damage
- •Truly operational fire safety
Limitations of classic volumetric calculation
Traditional calculation methods (NFPA / EN) assume a sealed volume, absence of ventilation and stability over time.
These assumptions are not compatible with an industrial electrical cabinet.
