Lifeline Launch
Breakthrough New
Fire Suppression System
Following the successful introduction of the Lifeline Zero
3620 fire suppression system, Lifeline has launched the
new Zero 3620 Fire-marshal, a further development
of the original system, designed to meet the increase
in demand as more categories are required to
use systems approved to the FIA 8865 suppression
standard.
Lifeline’s new Zero 3620 Fire-marshal offers exceptional
performance but offers a significant cost reduction
when compared with the current generation of FIA
8865 approved systems. Zero 3620 Fire-marshal meets
the FIA’s demanding 8865 standard and has been
tested and developed for use with unleaded petrol,
diesel and E85 fuels.
Housed within a single fabricated aluminium cylinder,
it discharges into both the engine and cockpit. It is
activated using the same Zero 3620 intelligent control
box that continually monitors the systems integrity
and internal battery advising the user of any potential
issues. The system is plumbed to both the cockpit and
engine using aluminium tube, connected using high
quality lightweight aluminium compression fittings and
is supplied with sufficient lengths of delivery pipework to
ensure the best possible packaging within all vehicles.
The engine side of the system discharges 1.0 kg of 3M
NOVEC clean agent suppressant through one high
discharge outlet to quickly knock down the fire, which
is then supplemented by two further coolant outlets,
utilising Lifeline’s patented* dual discharge technology.
The system also has the added benefit to allow two
further coolant outlets to be fitted should their be
multiple areas in the engine bay that need to be cooled
down to help prevent re-ignition.
The cockpit side of the system discharges 3.0 Kg of 3M
NOVEC through two cloud burst outlets, developed
specifically to disperse the suppressant efficiently
throughout the entire cockpit, quickly knocking down
the fire.
“We took a significant step forward in terms of driver
safety when we introduced the Zero 3620 system, and
with Zero 3620 Fire-marshal, we have made another
leap” explains Lifeline’s managing director Jim Morris.
“We can now offer a real cost-effective alternative to
the many teams and competitors that require FIA 8865
approval for their fire suppression system.”
