Pyrex Gas Agent Extinguisher with Hose
PYREX / HOSE TYPE
Pyrex Gas Agent Extinguisher with Hose
A flexible, high-performance fire suppression solution developed for armored vehicles where limited internal space and complex layouts require adaptable system integration without compromising rapid response capability.
Developed for armored vehicle architectures where flexible cylinder placement and targeted extinguishing-agent delivery are critical.
Flexible Fire Suppression for Armored Vehicle Integration
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.
NATO-Certified Fire Suppression Performance
The Pyrex extinguisher with hose delivers fire suppression performance within the same activation duration required by NATO STANAG 4317. This supports the level of rapid-response protection expected in modern military platforms.
By integrating a hose line into the cylinder configuration, the extinguishing agent can be delivered to critical areas inside the vehicle even when direct cylinder placement near the protected zone is not practical.
Extinguishing Agent HFC
227ea
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 cylinder placement, targeted agent delivery to high-risk zones and greater design freedom for armored vehicle layouts. It also supports more straightforward vehicle integration and can help accelerate system qualification processes.
