Vehicle Fire Suppression

Is activated electronically, thermally or manually is non-corrosive and non-conductive functions in a large temperature range is not stored under pressure requires no water keeps oxygen levels intact is harmless to humans and animals is environmentally friendly.
DSPA has been installed in a wide range of vehicles used in construction and transportation with no requirement for pipe work. The units are easily and economically installed.

Applications Include;

• Road Vehicles
• Heavy good vehicles
• Earth moving vehicles
• Tunnelling machines
• Fork lifts
• Landfill machines
• Busses
• Battery and Gas powered vehicles

These companies have benefitted from DSPA installations:
Caterpillar (Austria) | DAF Trucks/Paccar
(Holland) | Schöma Lokomotiven
(Germany) | JCB (UK) | e-Traction Europe
(Holland) | SBB Immobilien (Swiss
Railway) | ANWB Den Haag (Dutch AA)

Any short circuits in the battery terminals producing sparks or flames will activate the Thermo-cord which will in turn activate the DSPA unit(s).

Why use DSPA as a solution for fixed installation fire suppression?

More effective than Halon
— Cost effective
— Non-toxic, non-corrosive
— Certified

No pressurised storage
— No leaks, no refills
— Safe to transport and install
— Suitable for hard-to-reach areas

No mechanical moving parts
— High reliability
— Minimum maintenance
— Stand-alone or integrated systems

No pipe work nor nozzles, manifolds or distribution hardware
— Easily installed, can be retro-fitted
— Discrete
— Battery operated
Can be integrated with most vehicle control-alarm systems
For mission critical applications there simply is no better, or more logical choice

DSPA is being used as the preferred choice of fire suppression in the construction of the NEAT AlpTransit Gotthard Base Tunnel – at 57km, it will be the longest railway tunnel in the world.

DSPA has been used as fire protection in the construction of the following tunnels:
Arge LF Moos (drinking water tunnel) Zurich
Limberg II (pump storage facility) Kaprun, Austria
Arge ATUS, Switzerland

DSPA has also been used by the following companies;
Wirth, Schöma and Hinteregger & Söhne on projects
in Austria, Germany, Italy and Switzerland.
