Dry Chemical Fire Protection System
Dry chemical fire suppression systems are highly effective for protecting the engines of vehicles such as buses & coaches, as well as open chemical storage areas. The main advantage of the powder is that it acts very quickly at the heart of the fire, before it spreads to the rest of the protected area.
When a fire breaks out, the system detects it and is automatically activated, enabling a very fast response. The powder, which contains chemical agents, is sprayed directly into the fire, stopping the chain reaction, and quickly smothering the fire. The powder forms a protective layer over the engine, stopping the chain reaction and preventing the fire from reigniting.

UNECE R107 Fire Test of the FireDETEC Dry Chemical System
The FireDETEC® R107 Dry Chemical System is a comprehensive fire protection solution that uses a fluorine free powder as an extinguishing agent. It is certified according to UNECE R107 standard and protects engine compartments for passenger transportation vehicles of category M2 or M3, such as buses & coaches including Class 1 (for standing passengers), Class 2 (urban buses) and Class 3 (for seated passengers).
Rotarex FireDETEC® systems use a proprietary continuous linear pneumatic detection tube that reliably detects and actuates release of the extinguishing agent. It is more flexible, space efficient and cost effective versus alternative mechanical or electronic systems.
