Pyrex Gas Agent Extinguisher with Hose
Pyrex Gas Agent Extinguisher with Hose
Modern armored vehicle design requires fire suppression solutions that not only perform under extreme conditions but also adapt to limited internal space and complex layouts. In confined combat platforms, effective volume management is critical, and traditional fixed-cylinder fire suppression systems may restrict design flexibility. Pyrex Gas Agent Extinguishers with Hose are developed to overcome these challenges by offering a flexible, high-performance fire suppression solution that maintains rapid response capability while enabling easier integration into armored vehicle architectures.
Pyrex Gas Agent Extinguisher with Hose for Armored Vehicles
When designing armored combat vehicles, effective and efficient use of internal volume is one of the most critical considerations. Traditional fire suppression systems discharge the extinguishing agent directly from a fixed cylinder location, which can create significant placement challenges—particularly during tank modernization programs or in small armored vehicle projects where available space is limited.
To address these challenges, Nero Industries has developed the Pyrex Gas Agent Extinguisher with Hose, offering a more adaptable fire suppression solution without compromising response time or performance.
NATO-Compliant Fire Suppression Performance
The Pyrex extinguisher with hose delivers fire suppression performance within the same activation duration required by NATO STANAG 4317. This ensures that the system provides the necessary level of protection expected in modern military platforms.
By integrating a hose line into the Pyrex cylinder design, Nero Industries enables precise delivery of the extinguishing agent to critical areas inside the vehicle, even when direct cylinder placement is not feasible.
Flexible Hose Design for Optimized Vehicle Layouts
The hose-equipped Pyrex extinguisher allows the discharge line to be extended up to 2 meters by increasing the internal pressure of the cylinder. This flexibility enables:
Easier placement of the cylinder within the vehicle
Targeted agent delivery to high-risk zones
Improved design freedom for armored vehicle layouts
As a result, vehicle integration becomes more straightforward, and system qualification processes can be completed more quickly, reducing overall project timelines.
Purpose of Pyrex Fire Extinguishers with Gas Agents
Pyrex fire extinguishers equipped with gas agents are specialized fire suppression cylinders designed to suppress fires using clean and efficient gases, including:
CO₂
HFC-227ea (FM-200)
Inergen
These extinguishers are particularly suitable for confined environments and areas containing sensitive equipment, where conventional extinguishing methods may be ineffective or cause damage.
