AEROSOL GENERATOR CERTIFICATIONS Aerosol generators have been rigorously tested to existing and newly-developed industry expectations by laboratories all over the world. a) b) c)
Approved by Govt. of Telangana. Approved by ETDC. NFPA 2010 Compliant. FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q. Do I need to recharge aerosol generators? A. No. AEROSOL generators are not rechargeable. These are meant for one time use only. The extinguishing agent loaded in the generator is in solid form and there is no pressure in it, like other conventional fire extinguishers. Q. Does it cause any health problems/hazards to personnel? A. No, AEROSOL generators are safe and do not cause any health problems. It consists of solid gas combustion products. Components of AEROSOL are not toxic at normal levels. But exposure of personnel in a closed room for a long period of time should be avoided. Q. Is it costly comparing to existing fire fighting equipment/systems? A. Economic analyzes show that the systems built with AEROSOL GENERATORS are much cheaper compared to the cost of existing fire fighting systems, because piping, nozzles and water tank etc, are not required. Q. What is the maintenance cost? A. The maintenance cost is very less compared to other systems. These systems need regular visual examination to rule out damages. The fire detection and control systems and also electrical circuit needs regular check up to ensure proper electric connectivity. Q. Does it reduce oxygen level and cause damage to the environment? A. Not at all. It does not reduce oxygen level, hence environment friendly. It does not contain any banned substances which cause ozone depletion or global warming. Q. Does it cause damage to sensitive equipment? A. No, it does not cause any damage to sensitive equipment. The AEROSOLE has been tested world over. The ultra fine particles suspend in the air within the protected enclosure. Some amount of particles may get deposited on the equipments. These particles are not harmful but these needs to be blown out with the help of fan or air handling system for a clean environment.
