Pyrex Extinguishers with Gas Agent
PYREX / GAS AGENT
Pyrex Gas Fire Suppression System
A rapid-response gaseous fire suppression solution developed for protected compartments, critical equipment and demanding vehicle environments where fast heat reduction and clean extinguishing performance are essential.
Engineered for integration into fire protection configurations used in military vehicles, critical infrastructure and enclosed technical environments.
Rapid Fire Suppression for Critical and High-Risk Environments
Pyrex gas fire suppression systems provide a fast-response solution for environments where a fire can develop within milliseconds and conventional extinguishing methods may not react quickly enough. The system is particularly suited to protected vehicle compartments and other enclosed areas containing personnel, electronics or mission-critical equipment.
The system uses gaseous extinguishing technology including HFC-227ea to rapidly absorb heat and control the fire before it can spread throughout the protected compartment. This approach is especially valuable in environments exposed to sudden thermal events and extreme temperatures.
High-Speed Suppression When Every Millisecond Matters
The pressurized extinguisher cylinder is designed for extremely rapid agent delivery. With a nominal cylinder pressure of 42 Bar and a high-speed reaction time of less than 6 milliseconds, the system can respond almost immediately after receiving an activation signal.
Once released, the extinguishing agent is distributed throughout the protected volume to reduce heat and interrupt the conditions that sustain combustion. The fast discharge process helps limit fire propagation and protects surrounding equipment from additional thermal damage.
Extinguishing Agent HFC
227ea
Clean Gas-Based Fire Suppression
Gas-based suppression is well suited to enclosed environments containing electrical, electronic and other sensitive components because the extinguishing process does not depend on water or conventional dry extinguishing materials.
The Pyrex configuration uses HFC-227ea as its active extinguishing substance and dry nitrogen for super pressurisation. The cylinder provides a 360° homogeneous distribution pattern to support rapid dispersion throughout the protected area.
Key System Features
High-Speed Response
Reaction time below 6 milliseconds supports immediate intervention when a fire event is detected.
Clean Suppression
Gas-based extinguishing technology is suitable for areas containing sensitive electronic and technical equipment.
360° Distribution
The extinguishing agent is designed for homogeneous distribution throughout the protected compartment.
Rugged Construction
IP67 protection and vibration-resistant pressure indication support operation in demanding environments.
Multiple Capacities
Cylinder configurations are available in different sizes between 3 kg and 10 kg for varying system requirements.
Refillable Configuration
The extinguisher can be refilled using the appropriate refill kit, supporting continued operational use.
