Systems, backed by leading design and superb service.
Established in 2000, we have been at the forefront of the fire safety and suppression industry, supplying the latest industry-leading products and manufacturing our own innovative aspirating smoke detector systems.
As a wholesaler, we provide our systems and products to property managers and fire system installers who need ultra-dependable, high-performance fire detection and suppression solutions for the clients and buildings they support.
Our wide range of fire safety systems is particularly valuable for buildings storing high-value goods or operating in specialist environments. Because of this, installers come to us to deliver the utmost protection to buildings – supporting sectors including retail, commercial and industrial!
So, what fire suppression systems do we offer – and what makes them so innovative?
Smoke aspirating systems and high-sensitivity smoke detectors
Aspirating smoke detection systems are highly sensitive smoke detectors that give early warnings of emerging fire.
These detectors use aspiration (process of sucking in air) to draw air samples from the protected area, analysing the sample for early signs of combustion – long before heat or visible smoke develops.
If smoke particles are detected, the alarm will be triggered and/or a suppression system activated.
Aspirating smoke detection has been a critical safety tool across industrial, storage, retail and manufacturing environments – providing early warning protection before disaster strikes.
Connected to a central receiver, pipes and fittings are installed throughout a building, ensuring every room, section and area can be covered by air sampling.
At Fire Suppression, we manufacture these pipes and fittings in-house at our state-of-the-art production facility in Bristol. We use virgin ABS plastic to produce the highest possible quality and consistency, compliant to European aspirating smoke detection standards.
A standout system in our product range is the VESDA (Very Early Smoke Detection Apparatus) series, offering detectors that can provide an ultra-wide sensitivity range from 0.001% – 20.0% obs/m and up to 80 Class A Holes.
Flammable and hazardous gas detectors
Hazardous gases can be highly flammable in industrial ATEX zones (European Union directive that classifies an atmosphere as potentially explosive).
Failure to detect hazardous gas can quickly lead to safety incidents for both people and property!
At Fire Suppression, we supply systems for detecting flammable and hazardous gas, giving industrial personnel valuable time to evacuate and stop any gas leaks.
Our gas detectors are designed for various gas applications, including harmful gases such as carbon monoxide, methane, hydrogen, propane, ethanol, butane and more.
A notable product in our range is the VESDA Sense-Point XCL, an aspirating detector that utilises an ASD (Aspirating Smoke Detector) pipe network to provide superior gas detection via multiple hole sampling.
Lithium-Ion battery detectors
Lithium-ion batteries are the powerhouse of modern technology and the preferred energy source for countless devices, from electric vehicles to back-up server batteries.
Despite their ingenuity, over time, lithium-ion batteries can fail due to overcharging, exposure to heat, damage or defects. And, when batteries fail, they can become potentially hazardous.
The process often begins with initial cell venting, during which gas is released from the battery’s electrolyte.
If left unattended, this can escalate into an event known as ‘thermal runaway’, causing the release of smoke and potentially igniting the electrolyte solvent within the battery – the result can even be an explosion and fire.
As batteries come in a variety of chemical compositions, it can be a challenge to predict which gases might be released during a thermal runaway, making standard fire detection systems unreliable.
At Fire Suppression, we supply innovative Lithium-ion battery detectors, including the Li-Ion Tamer. These systems provide early warning detection of lithium-ion battery failures – giving, on average, 6.4 precious minutes of advance warning before a thermal runaway occurs.
Local and total flooding fire suppression
Local and total flooding is a method of fire suppression, often used in small enclosed spaces. In the event of a fire, liquid or gas is automatically released to extinguish emerging flames and stop the spreading.
A powerful Local and Total Flooding Fire Suppression System which we supply is the T Series by Blaze Cut.
As a self-contained tube, the system activates when in contact with heat, releasing a clean gaseous agent to suppress emerging flames. The T Series is suitable for use in applications such as car engines, boats, electric cabinets, telecommunications, batteries and more.
Giving targeted or full-area protection in sensitive environments, the T Series has been very popular with the additional capability of being able to communicate with any existing fire indicator panels to provide instant alerts and complete fire safety awareness.
