In modern military operations, the need for reliable fire protection in armored vehicles is paramount. Fires that result from combat or mechanical malfunctions can pose serious threats to both personnel and equipment. That’s where fire suppression systems come in — offering cutting-edge technology to ensure safety and protect valuable assets. Among these, the ARES Fire Suppression Systems from Nero Industry stand out as industry leaders, designed specifically for military and industrial applications.
Why Fire Suppression Systems Matter in Military Operations
Fire is one of the most dangerous threats in high-stakes environments such as combat zones. Whether caused by RPG or ATGM attacks, fires can lead to catastrophic damage in a matter of seconds. This is why having an efficient fire suppression system in place is crucial, especially in armored vehicles. The ARES system responds to fires within milliseconds, ensuring both personnel and vehicle safety.
The ARES Fire Suppression System is engineered for military-grade use, capable of extinguishing fires in the most critical situations. With features like UV-IR Detectors and thermal wire sensors, these systems detect and suppress fires faster than traditional fire extinguisher systems.
ARES Fire Suppression System: The Ultimate Defense
At the heart of the ARES system is its UV-IR Detector technology, which can identify fireballs or explosions within 3 milliseconds. This rapid response makes it highly effective in military operations where every millisecond counts. The UV-IR Detectors use both ultraviolet and infrared sensors to differentiate between real fires and false alarms, such as sunlight or headlight flashes.
For armored vehicles, the ARES Fire Suppression System offers unparalleled protection. Upon detection, the system’s extinguishers are activated within 250 milliseconds, neutralizing the fire before it has a chance to cause significant damage. This makes the ARES system an ideal solution for protecting crew members and expensive equipment from the devastating effects of fire.
Thermal Wire Sensors: Enhanced Detection for Armored Vehicles
One of the key technologies integrated into the ARES Fire Suppression System is the use of thermal wire sensors. These sensors offer continuous heat detection, making them ideal for monitoring engines, electrical panels, and other critical components within armored vehicles. When the ambient temperature reaches dangerous levels, the thermal wire triggers the fire suppression system automatically.
The thermal wire comes in two main types:
Linear Thermal Wire: This disposable wire melts at a pre-set temperature, triggering the extinguisher in 10 to 40 seconds.
Continuous Thermal Wire: This reusable wire provides real-time temperature monitoring and can trigger the fire extinguisher system in as little as 5 to 20 seconds.
These sensors ensure that the ARES system responds to fire threats swiftly and effectively, offering maximum protection in military environments.
ARES Fireball Test: Ensuring Military-Grade Fire Suppression
The ARES system adheres to the stringent NATO Stanag 4317 standards, which are specifically designed for military fire suppression systems. One of the core tests is the Fireball Test, which assesses how quickly the system detects and suppresses a fire caused by a simulated explosion. During this test, 200 milliliters of jet fuel are injected into a simulation chamber, and the system must extinguish the fire within 250 milliseconds.
This quick reaction time is vital for protecting military assets such as armored vehicles and troop carriers. The ARES fire suppression system consistently exceeds these requirements, offering peace of mind for military personnel and defense contractors.
Extinguisher Technology: Safe and Efficient Fire Suppression
The extinguishers used in the ARES system are not only fast but also environmentally friendly. Utilizing HFC 227EA (FM-200) gas, these fire extinguisher systems can reduce temperatures of up to 2000°C, effectively preventing further damage to vehicle components. This gas is safe for human exposure and leaves no residue, eliminating the need for extensive cleanup after activation.
The ARES system also features Pyrex Gas Agent Extinguishers, designed specifically for military use. These extinguishers offer high-speed suppression capabilities, reacting in under 6 milliseconds to contain fires. With their lightweight design and compliance with MIL-STD-810H military standards, these extinguishers are built to perform under the harshest conditions.
