A UTC Fire & Security Company
Q:
A:
Why Would a Company Protect an Anechoic
Test Chamber
It’s a Sound Business Decision.
If you are a global leader in the development of sophisticated airborne radar and navigation
systems, the pristine sound deadening environment of the anechoic chamber in which these
systems are tested is vital to your R&D efforts. You know this because you’ve already
experienced the significant effects of downtime in one of your largest chambers from a broken
water sprinkler system.
THE FIRE PROTECTION REQUIREMENT:
Offer a technically-advanced approach to protecting the company’s entire inventory of
anechoic chambers against fire without using water as the fire suppressant. This specialty
system must be capable of protecting large volume chambers with rapid fire detection and
suppression capabilities. In addition, the company’s insurance carrier recommends a clean
agent system.
THE KIDDE RESPONSE:
The advanced technology of the Kidde ADS fire suppression
system, which utilizes the clean agent FM-200®, was equal to the
challenge. Specially designed for the protection of large facilities,
the system stores the clean agent in a remotely-located bank of
cylinders and propels it through piping runs as long as 400 feet to
the discharge nozzles in 10 seconds or less. The Kidde ADS System
is also capable of providing a connected reserve of FM-200 as
further protection for a large, vital facility.
