Ansul A101- 30

The Ansul A-101 fire suppression system is a pre-engineered, fixed nozzle system for protection
of off-highway vehicles, commercial vehicles, or industrial type applications. Typical applications
include surface mining equipment, under ground mining machines, forest harvesting equipment,
construction equipment, farming machinery, and transportation vehicles such as municipal
busses.

The A101 system consists of three major components: a container to store the dry chemical
extinguisher agent: an actuation system operated manually or automatically, and an agent
distribution system which delivers the agent form the tank through hydraulic hose and fixed
nozzles to the hazard areas.

Automatic detection, either electric or pneumatic, and actuation, is recommended. The A101
system is actuated manually by a pneumatic actuator located on the dashboard or on the exterior
of the vehicles.

The dry chemical extinguishing agent is delivered from the tank through hydraulic hose and pre-
set nozzles into the fire hazard areas or onto the fire prone surfaces.

How Does The System Operate?

1. A fire is detected and the system is actuated by manual or automatic (optional) actuation to the
pneumatic actuator on the expellant gas cartridge.

2. The pneumatic actuator device punctures either the CO2 or N2 expellant gas cartridge which in
turn pressurizes and fluidizes the dry chemical extinguishing agent.

3. The dry chemical extinguishing agent is then discharged through hydraulic hoses to fixed
nozzles and into the fire areas.

4. The dry chemical extinguishing agent then blankets the area being protected and suppresses
the fire.
