Fogmaker section valve released

Traditionally, a fire suppression system can handle only one deployment zone with one piston accumulator. This section valve will be able to handle up to four different deployment zones with the same piston accumulator. The valve is said to hold the potential to revolutionise fire suppression for commercial electrical vehicles.

A vehicle or machine with a diesel engine has most of the fire hazards in one single compartment, but due to basic design criteria for battery electric vehicles, for instance an electric bus can have fire risks in several places. The new valve addresses this challenge by covering up to four individual deployment zones, directing the fire suppressant to where it is needed and buying crucial time when it’s needed the most.
