HOODSAFER 6kg Fire Trace Tube Suppression System – Novec Gas

What is the HOODSAFER Fire Suppression System?

The HOODSAFER 6kg Fire Trace Tube Suppression System is an advanced solution for protecting high-risk areas such as electrical cabinets, distribution boards, and IT enclosures. It uses FK-5-1-12 (Novec) clean agent gas to suppress fires safely and effectively, especially in sensitive environments.

Designed with a Direct Low Pressure (DLP) mechanism, the system ensures fast detection, precise extinguishing, and minimal environmental impact. This makes it an ideal choice for modern safety needs.

How the HOODSAFER System Works

The system uses a 7-meter thermoplastic detection tube that acts both as a sensor and discharge line. When heat from a fire raises the temperature to between 90°C and 110°C, the tube bursts at the hottest point. This action releases the Novec agent directly at the fire source. As a result, the fire is extinguished before it spreads, minimizing damage and downtime.

Main Components of the System

The HOODSAFER Fire Suppression System includes:

• A 6kg steel cylinder rated at 15 bar, pre-filled with Novec (FK-5-1-12)

• A stainless steel valve for safe and durable operation

• A German-made pressure gauge to display real-time pressure

• A G1/4” port for nitrogen pressurization

• An optional pressure switch, which alerts users when pressure drops to 5 bar

These components ensure reliability and ease of maintenance.

Why Novec (FK-5-1-12) is the Ideal Fire Agent

Novec is non-conductive, residue-free, and safe for use around people and electronics. It evaporates quickly, meaning it won’t harm sensitive equipment. It also has:

• Zero ozone depletion potential (ODP)

• Very low global warming potential (GWP)

Because of these benefits, Novec is the cleanest and safest option for fire suppression in enclosed and occupied spaces.

Where to Use the HOODSAFER System

The HOODSAFER 6kg system is perfect for many applications, including:

• Electrical Cabinets: Prevent fires in control panels and power cabinets.

• Distribution Boards (DB Panels): Stop fire spread at the source.

• UPS and Power Backup Units: Keep emergency power systems protected.

• Server Racks & IT Equipment: Avoid damage to critical digital assets.

• Medical Devices & Lab Equipment: Protect expensive and sensitive instruments.

• Control Panels in Factories: Guard against fires in industrial automation zones.

Safety and Environmental Benefits

The HOODSAFER system is safe for humans and the planet. Unlike CO₂ systems, it does not reduce oxygen in the air and does not require room evacuation before discharge. This makes it suitable for places where people are present.

Additionally, Novec’s environmental rating supports businesses aiming for sustainability and compliance with green policies.

Easy to Install and Maintain

The system is compact and easy to install directly inside or near enclosures. The flexible tube can be routed around components, offering full coverage. After activation, the 6kg cylinder is easy to refill, keeping costs and downtime low.

Scalable for Larger Systems

Need to protect a larger area? Multiple cylinders can be installed in parallel. This flexibility allows you to expand protection as your infrastructure grows.

Certified and Compliant

The HOODSAFER system complies with international standards such as:

• IMO MSC/Circ.848

• SOLAS 74

These certifications prove its reliability in marine, offshore, and industrial environments.

Integrated Monitoring and Alerts

With the optional pressure switch and dry contact output, the system can connect to your Building Management System (BMS). This allows instant alerts for any pressure drop or system discharge—ensuring 24/7 protection and monitoring.

Why Choose HOODSAFER?

By choosing the HOODSAFER Fire Suppression System, you invest in:

• Quick response time

• Equipment-safe clean agent

• Environmentally-friendly operation

• Low maintenance and easy refills

• Proven international compliance

It’s the ideal choice for modern businesses that prioritize safety, sustainability, and operational continuity.
