Pyrex Gas Agent Extinguisher with Hose

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.

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.

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.

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.

• High Suppression Efficiency: Rapid fire suppression using proven gas agents

• Installation Flexibility: Hose-based discharge enables adaptable system design

• Low Combustion Risk: No risk of ignition during agent release

• Lightweight Construction: Aluminum body supports easy handling and integration

• Fast Activation: Pyrotechnic triggers activate within 3 milliseconds

• Wide Operating Range: Reliable operation from -32°C to +71°C

CO₂ Fire Suppression Extinguishers

• Agent: Carbon dioxide (CO₂)

• Mechanism: Displaces oxygen to suppress combustion

• Applications: Electrical fires and confined spaces

Inergen Fire Suppression Extinguishers

• Agent: Gas mixture simulating atmospheric air

HFC-227ea (FM-200) Fire Suppression Extinguishers

• Agent: HFC-227ea (FM-200)

• Mechanism: Absorbs heat and interrupts the combustion process

• Applications: High-risk environments with flammable materials

• Armored and military vehicles

• Tank modernization programs

• Marine and naval platforms

• Data centers and control rooms

• Laboratories and communication centers

• Libraries and archives
