February 2013 Fire & Safety

The Pyroshield fire extinguishing system, manufactured by AST, is an engineered system using a fixed nozzle agent distribution network. The system is designed and installed in accordance with the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) Standard 2001, ‘Clean Agent Fire Extinguishing Systems’. When properly designed, the Pyroshield system will extinguish surface-burning fire in Class A, B, and C hazards by lowering the oxygen content below the level that supports combustion.

The system can be actuated by detection and control equipment for automatic system operation along with providing local and remote manual operation as needed. Accessories are used to provide alarms, ventilation control, door closures, or other auxiliary shutdown or functions.
