Introduction
CNC machined components manufacturers make specialized elements for use in fire suppression systems. These components are mostly used in military vehicles and tracked- vehicles to protect from external hazards. Award-winning manufacturers make these critical fire suppression components.
The basic fire suppression system includes – a fail-proof method to detect fire, alarms, notification devices, power supply, control panels, and designed release mechanism, and the suppression component itself. A complete automated fire suppression system usually has a cylinder with a differential pressure valve. Electrical capacity measurement tubes are also included in suppression components. It also has a sensor tubing segment for detection of fire. Additionally, discharge tubing and nozzles are included. It also has a manual actuator along with the necessary connectors and mounting bracket.
The most essential component of fire suppression is the automatic fire sprinklers. These sprinklers are activated due to the heat ofthe fire. There are 4 methods used in fire suppression. These are cooling, smothering, starving and interrupting combustion processes for fire extinguishing.
Principles of fire suppressant components in military vehicles
CNC machined components manufacturers make precision fire suppression components for military vehicles. The main purpose of the fire suppression system is to protect the auxiliary engine compartment in military vehicles. When a fire breaks out the risk is rapidly brought down by the suppressant triggering protective action.
In artillery vehicles, specialized fire suppressant components are used to contain fire in confined spaces. The detection of the fire is rapid with machined components and a clean agent system is deployed to extinguish the fire.
A number of components are used in fire suppression equipment. Two types of fire suppression systems are wet chemical systems and dry chemical systems. Traditionally water is main element used in the fire suppressant. One of the most traditional forms of fire suppression is using the wet pipe string sprinkler systems. Alternatively dry pipe sprinklers are also popular. Sometimes when scenario’s require an alternative fire sprinkler system a pre-action system is fitted. One of the water using sprinkler types is the deluge-sprinkler. The underlying technology for all of these suppression systems are CNC machine components.
The complete management of fire suppression systems is handled by the control panel. This is a system which has a monitoring facility whenever fire breaks out. It includes fire protection module sensors and the fire detection device. It is easily integrated into modern electrical systems since it generates detailed accurate Information and Communication quickly with the detection control panel.
However, it is important to understand the difference between fire control and fire suppression. Different CNC machine components are used in both of these stages of fire fighting. Fire control and fire suppression are different activities. In a fire prevention system the components minimize the hazards of the fire. On the other hand, with fire protection the components are controlled or technically programmed to reduce the damage. It also ensures safety of the human life within the military vehicles with fire suppression systems as they are critically important in all situations.
The main purpose of fire suppression systems and its components is to extinguish any type of flames. Since precision is the hallmark of CNC machine components they are often used in critical applications like fire suppression systems. They play a very important role in any form of fire suppression systems. They are ideal for use in foam deluge systems, pressurized gas systems, in pneumatic heat detection tubes,or chemical foam suppression systems and water sprinklers. Manufacturers of CNC components rely on technical expertise of their designers and technology capabilities. They understand the needs of an industry before customizing the precision components. In fact CNC precision manufacturing is a key element of precision engineering. Original intent and design in converted into workable components, achieving high dimensional accuracy.
