10. The Tube THE DIFFERENCE • Acts as a multi-sensor and multi extinguishing jet • When bursting at the hottest spot, it ruptures as a nozzle shaped opening • Made of a high-tech polymer • Combines - Long-time resistance - Flexibility - Temperature sensitivity • Autonomous system, no external power required The detection tube : A simple but revolutionary idea. The FireDeTec tube relies on a simple idea, detect the fire and extinguish it. The Tube, as well as our system, is developed and manufactured inhouse. It is made out of highly advanced polymers that will burst at the hottest spot and then starting the extinguishing process either on a direct or indirect manner. Thanks to its advanced characteristics, the Tube is a linear detection system that does not need any source of energy and can be submitted to harsh environments. It simply extinguishes the Fire in the most effective way, before the fire spreads.

11. FireDeTec Sensor tube • high tech. Polymer detection tube • Sensible to temperature • Good resistance to pollution • leaktight Burst pressure in in relation to the pressure in the tube !
