What is the procedure for requesting an AF-X Fireblocker aerosol fire suppression system?

Requesting an AF-X Fireblocker aerosol fire suppression system begins with a brief intake to align the correct configuration with your risk and needs. The procedure involves five steps: first, contact us with a description of what you want to protect, followed by a quick 'scoping call' to confirm the application and fire scenario. Next is a technical intake to determine the protected volume and detection requirements, after which a clear proposal and quotation are provided. The final step is planning and delivery. This structured process ensures an efficient and accurate implementation of your fire protection.

What information is needed when requesting an AF-X Fireblocker aerosol system?

For a quick and accurate request for an AF-X Fireblocker aerosol fire suppression system, specific information is essential. This includes the application type, such as ESS/BESS or a technical room, the exact location and accessibility of the site, and detailed dimensions of the space to be protected. Existing fire detection and control systems, available electrical details for activation, and the value of assets with their sensitivity to business interruption are also important. This data helps in developing an effective and customized protection plan.

How quickly can an AF-X Fireblocker aerosol fire suppression system be installed?

The installation speed of an AF-X Fireblocker aerosol fire suppression system depends on the complexity of the environment, such as a single cabinet versus a multi-room installation, and how quickly the technical intake can be completed. Projects often accelerate when detailed enclosure data and detection/control information are already available. Because the generators are non-pressurized and electrically activated, the focus is less on heavy infrastructure and more on correct placement, wiring, and integration. During the intake, you will receive a realistic lead time that matches your operational framework.

What are the benefits of installing an aerosol fire suppression system?

An aerosol fire suppression system offers the advantage of stopping combustion by interrupting the chemical chain reaction at a molecular level, without removing oxygen. This means an investment in a solution that blocks the fire at its source and limits collateral damage. The aerosol consists of micro-particles that remain in suspension long enough to effectively fill the protected space via natural convection currents. This principle provides fast and targeted fire suppression, which is crucial in sensitive and critical environments where continuity is of great importance.

What are the risks associated with postponing fire protection?

Postponing fire protection creates a period of vulnerability where a small ignition can quickly escalate into a major incident. The primary costs of delay are rarely the extinguishing system itself, but the chain of consequences: loss of assets, smoke and fire damage to adjacent systems, environmental impact, and prolonged business interruption. In electrical and industrial environments, fires can spread through cable routes or ventilation paths. For energy storage systems, an incident can develop particularly quickly, affecting not only the primary assets but also the surrounding infrastructure and operational continuity.

How can I request an aerosol fire suppression system from AF-X Fireblocker?

You’re looking for a supplier you can trust—and you probably need clarity on how to start, what to share, and how fast protection can be in place. We make that process straightforward, whether you’re protecting a lithium-ion ESS/BESS, an electrical cabinet, a technical room, an industrial area, or an IT/server room.

How can I request an aerosol fire suppression system?

Requesting an aerosol fire suppression system starts with a short intake so we can match the right AF-X Fireblocker configuration to your risk, enclosure and activation needs. Our systems use a solid aerosol-forming compound in a non-pressurized generator that is activated via an electrical ignitor. Once activated, the compound transforms into a rapidly expanding extinguishing aerosol, passes a cooling section and exits through the outflow opening into the protected area. The aerosol then stops the combustion reaction on a molecular level by binding free radicals—without relying on oxygen removal or cooling, and without affecting oxygen levels in the environment.

What is the procedure to request an aerosol system?

Contact us with a brief description of what you want to protect and where it’s located. The fastest route is via our contact page: Contact AF-X Fireblocker.
Quick scoping call: we confirm the application type (for example electrical cabinet, industrial environment, marine, wind turbine, offshore, technical room, IT/server room, or lithium-ion ESS/BESS) and identify the main fire scenario(s).
Technical intake: we map the protected volume/enclosure, integration with detection (thermal or smoke) and whether you need automatic activation, manual activation, or both. Our generators have a connector for electrical control and activation mechanisms.
Proposal and quotation: you receive a clear scope—what will be protected, how activation is arranged, and what the supply/installation plan looks like.
Planning and delivery: after approval, we schedule delivery and coordinate installation through our network (we work with distributors and offer an exclusive distributorship model for partners worldwide).

What information do I need to provide for the request?

To move from “interest” to a workable design quickly, prepare this information:

Application type: ESS/BESS, electrical cabinet, technical room, industrial area, IT/server room, marine, wind turbine, offshore, or automated parking environment.
Location and access: address/site, indoor/outdoor, and any constraints for installation windows or permits.
Protected enclosure details: dimensions/volume, layout, compartmentation, ventilation/openings, and what must remain operational during an incident.
Fire detection and control: existing thermal/smoke detection, alarm interfaces, and preferred activation logic (automatic, manual, or both). Our aerosol extinguishers can be activated automatically by thermal or smoke detection and can also be triggered manually.
Electrical details: available power/control options for the electrical impulse that initiates the chemical transformation of the compound.
Asset value and downtime sensitivity: what business interruption would cost you—this helps prioritise the protection approach.

How fast can an aerosol system be installed?

Installation speed depends on the complexity of your environment (single cabinet vs. multi-room site, greenfield vs. retrofit) and how quickly we can complete the technical intake. In many projects, the timeline accelerates when you already have the enclosure data and detection/control information ready. Because our generators are non-pressurized and activated electrically, projects often focus less on heavy infrastructure and more on correct placement, wiring/integration, and commissioning. During the intake we’ll give you a realistic lead time and a plan that matches your operational constraints.

Why should I install an aerosol system now?

Fire risk doesn’t wait for a convenient moment—especially in high-value or high-energy environments like lithium-ion ESS/BESS, electrical cabinets and technical rooms. The main cost of delay is rarely the extinguisher itself; it’s the cascade of consequences: asset loss, smoke/fire damage across adjacent systems, environmental impact, and downtime that can last far longer than the incident.

What are the risks of postponing?

If you postpone, you accept a window of exposure where a small ignition can escalate into a major event. In electrical and industrial environments, fires can propagate through cable routes, ventilation paths, or shared compartments. For energy storage, the urgency can be even higher: once an incident starts, the situation may develop quickly and affect not only the primary asset but also the surrounding infrastructure and continuity of operations.

How can aerosol protection deliver immediate benefits?

Our aerosol extinguishing principle is designed to stop combustion by interrupting the chemical chain reaction (binding free radicals) rather than reducing oxygen levels. Practically, that means you’re investing in a solution intended to block the fire at its origin and limit collateral damage. The aerosol consists of micro-sized particles suspended in a gas, staying in suspension long enough to flow into natural convection currents—supporting effective distribution in the protected area.

What installation urgencies typically apply?

Commissioning deadlines for new ESS/BESS sites, technical rooms, or industrial upgrades
Insurance or compliance timelines that require demonstrable fire protection measures
Operational constraints (limited shutdown windows for critical IT/server rooms or industrial processes)
Risk concentration (high asset density in cabinets, containers, or enclosed rooms)

What are the next steps after my request?

After your request, we move you through a predictable sequence: clarify the risk, confirm the scope, propose a configuration, and plan delivery/installation. We keep the process practical—focused on what needs protecting and how activation/controls should work in your environment.

How does the first introduction with us work?

We start with a short conversation to understand your application and constraints. We’ll ask where you want the system installed (cabinet, container, room), what kind of detection you have (thermal/smoke), and whether you need automatic activation, manual activation, or both. If you’re exploring partnership opportunities, you can also review our distributor route here: Become a distributor.

What can I expect from the quotation process?

Our quotation process is designed to remove ambiguity. You can expect:

A clear description of the protected area and intended fire scenario
How the AF-X Fireblocker generator(s) will be activated (electrical impulse; integration with detection/control)
Scope boundaries (what’s included/excluded) so you can compare fairly with alternatives
A project timeline proposal aligned to your installation window

How is installation planned?

Installation planning typically follows three checkpoints:

Site readiness: confirm access, mounting locations, and cable/control routing.
Integration: connect electrical control and activation mechanisms; verify detection inputs for automatic activation if applicable.
Commissioning and handover: functional checks, documentation handover, and operational guidance for your team (including how manual activation is handled if included).

Next step: gather the key information listed above and contact us via our contact page. If you include enclosure dimensions, detection/control details, and your desired timeline, we can move faster from first call to a concrete proposal.
