SAPFIR LOCO – SSP 110 SW.1

Autonomous extinguishing system designed for automatic engine extinguishing and separate extinguishing between the engine and the cabin where there are hydraulic lines.

The extinguishing system is maintenance-free as it does not contain internal pressure, so it does not need pressure tests during a guaranteed functionality of 12 years!

The Sapfir Loco extinguishing system is divided into 4 separate parts:

1. Extinguishing the engine with an automatic temperature sensor TPS-01TC-125 which, after exceeding the temperature of 125 ° C, automatically activates two APPS MPH-2.8t extinguishing modules with a total capacity of 130 m3.

2. Extinguishing the space behind the engine with a complex extinguishing module APPS MPH-5T with integrated temperature sensor TPS-01TC-93. The total extinguishing capacity is 100 m3 volume.

3. The TPS-01TC-72 temperature sensor is located above the front axle transmission. If there is a fire in the hydraulic lines or the gearbox itself, the temperature sensor activates and triggers an alarm. Despite the proposal to place the APPS MPH-2.8t fire extinguishing module to extinguish the axle (as with a similar locomotive), they opted only for the alarm system. Apparently it doesn’t burn there often, and if it does, there will be a brave employee who jumps under the burning locomotive and will fire it by hand …

4. Autonomous alarm system also equipped with manual start of engine extinguishing directly from the cab. Should the automatic engine fire fail, it can also be started manually using the built-in TPS-01-M.

The SAPFIR LOCO extinguishing system automatically extinguishes the required service life of 12 years without the need to be connected to electricity. The extinguishing itself is fully functional from -50 ° C to + 50 ° C. As it does not contain internal pressure, only dry powder does not freeze in winter and is also suitable for extinguishing electronics without damage.
