How It Works

1. Detection: The device detects high temperature or fire using a heat-sensitive component.
2. Activation: When the temperature reaches a certain level, the system activates automatically.
3. Discharge: The extinguisher releases substances like powder, gas, or foam.
4. Fire Suppression: The substance stops the fire by cooling it, removing oxygen, or stopping the chemical reaction.
