Its electro-mechanical actuating mechanism, using no pyrotechnic devices, is unique to the industry. The eSuppressor features include pressure monitoring, lock-out/tag-out capability and LED indication of device status. A key benefit is that all safety functions are fully monitored, which is not possible for any device employing pyrotechnic actuators. The eSuppressor has full redundancy and third party SIL 2 certification.
The eSuppressor is designed to discharge suppressant in milliseconds within a process vessel or to mitigate the propagation of flame through interconnected ductwork. It is used in conjunction with IEP Technologies’ range of control panels and detectors. IEP Technologies sophisticated computer modeling techniques determine the quantity and size of suppressors to be used. These techniques predict reduced explosion pressures based on actual process conditions and detector settings.
