Advanced Fire Protection for Armored Vehicles and High-Risk Environments
Pyrex fire suppression systems with gas agents are engineered to operate under extreme conditions, particularly those generated by RPG and ATGM attacks on armored vehicles. These systems are designed to suppress fires caused by intense heat and pressure, ensuring maximum protection for personnel, critical equipment, and valuable assets.
Utilizing advanced fire suppression cylinders filled with cooling gas agents such as HFC-227ea (FM-200), Pyrex systems can effectively neutralize temperatures that may rise up to 2000°C following an impact. By rapidly reducing both temperature and pressure, these systems significantly minimize the risk of fire escalation and structural damage.
How Pyrex Gas-Based Fire Suppression Systems Work
Pyrex fire suppression cylinders operate at an internal pressure of 42 BAR, allowing for immediate discharge and rapid cooling in the event of an explosion or fire. The gas agent is released instantly, suppressing flames by absorbing heat and reducing oxygen levels in the protected area.
This fast and effective response plays a critical role in preventing secondary fires and limiting damage after high-energy attacks, ultimately reducing the risk of loss of life and mission failure.
Purpose of Pyrex Fire Extinguishers with Gas Agents
Pyrex gas-based fire extinguishers are specialized fire suppression cylinders designed to extinguish fires using clean and efficient gases such as CO₂, HFC-227ea (FM-200), and Inergen. They are especially suitable for confined spaces and environments containing sensitive equipment, where traditional extinguishing methods may be ineffective or damaging.
