Computer and Server Fire Protection

Locating the Firetrace tubing around critical components results in faster detection and suppression.

Nearly every company, regardless of its size, has made significant investments in computer technology for their offices.

Yet, even with these investments frequently little or nothing is done to protect these investments from fire.

With all of the electrical components, power supplies, wires, and cables associated with these applications electrical shorts and fires are not uncommon.

Firetrace provides an excellent solution for equipment protection for enclosures such as: single racks and data centers filled with servers and routers to name a few.

Many older server rooms are protected with halon total flooding systems.

Firetrace is an excellent alternative to replacing these flooding systems with a different agent. By protecting at the rack level individual components can be protected. This often limits damage to a single component.

The proprietary red Firetrace Detection Tubing (FDT) can be run throughout the critical areas of the enclosures providing detection right at the potential source of fire. In simple terms, the closer the detection is to the source of the fire the faster the system can react to suppress the fire.

The Firetrace detection tubing is non-conductive and flexible enough to run into cabinets along existing cable runs.

Upon detection of fire, the Firetrace system can discharge a variety of fire-suppressing agents. Typically, most computer installations are charged with clean agents such as:

• DuPont™ FM-200®
• 3M® NOVEC® 1230 Fluid

These are non-conductive, non-corrosive, and people safe further protecting your critical investments.

Firetrace also offers a solution where activation can occur through a smoke detector or building alarm (Firetrace indirect systems only).

Whether you are replacing an old Halon system or protecting your equipment for the first time Firetrace is an excellent, cost-effective solution.
