Pyrex-XL Gas Agent Extinguisher
PYREX-XL / GAS AGENT
Pyrex-XL Gas Agent Extinguisher
Designed for demanding protected platforms, Pyrex-XL combines increased extinguishing capacity with fast activation and installation flexibility for applications where available space and fire risk must be managed together.
A higher-capacity gas-agent solution for protected platforms, sensitive equipment zones and demanding fire-risk environments.
Higher-Capacity Protection for Space-Constrained Systems
Designed for demanding protected platforms, Pyrex-XL combines increased extinguishing capacity with fast activation and installation flexibility for applications where available space and fire risk must be managed together. In environments where internal volume is limited and fire risks are severe, traditional fixed fire extinguishing systems can restrict vehicle layout and integration efficiency.
Pyrex-XL Gas Agent Extinguisher addresses this requirement with a higher-capacity gas-agent configuration developed for demanding operational environments. Its architecture supports flexible integration while retaining the rapid-response characteristics required for critical fire protection applications.
Rapid Suppression for Critical Vehicle Fire Events
Rapid intervention is a central requirement in vehicle fire protection. Pyrex-XL is configured to provide suppression performance within the activation duration defined by NATO STANAG 4317, allowing the system to react within the required operational response window.
Where the cylinder cannot be positioned directly beside the protected zone, the discharge path can be routed toward the required fire-risk area. The hose configuration supports extensions of up to 2 meters, providing additional freedom when arranging suppression components inside restricted vehicle layouts.
Extinguishing Agent HFC
227ea
Gas-Agent Suppression for Sensitive Compartments
Pyrex-XL can be configured around gaseous extinguishing technologies including CO₂, HFC-227ea (FM-200) and Inergen, allowing the suppression approach to be matched to the protected environment and system requirement.
Because these agents suppress fire without relying on conventional powder-based discharge, they are relevant to enclosed compartments and areas containing sensitive electrical, electronic or mission-critical equipment.
Pyrex-XL Performance Highlights
High Suppression Capacity
The 8–15 kg cylinder range provides increased agent capacity for applications requiring a larger suppression reserve.
Rapid Response
A pyrotechnic activation mechanism supports fast initiation when an extinguishing command is received.
Clean Agent Technology
Gaseous suppression helps protect sensitive equipment without introducing powder-based extinguishing residue into the protected compartment.
Flexible Discharge
The discharge arrangement can route the extinguishing agent toward critical zones while allowing the cylinder to be positioned according to available installation space.
Lightweight Construction
Aluminum construction helps control system weight while supporting integration into mobile and protected platform applications.
Wide Environmental Capability
The specified operating range of -55°C to +70°C supports use across demanding environmental conditions.
