AF-X Fireblocker - Environmentally friendly fire extinguishing system

Fire Safety Automatic Parking Garage

Fire protection specially for automatic parking garages

Aerosol is perfectly suitable as an extinguishing medium for closed and fully automatic parking garages. A fully automatic parking system is incorporated in an automatic parking garage. In this system, the user parks the car in an entrance area and then leaves the car. The user scans his pass outside and then the car is automatically placed in the parking garage.

If the parking garage is a closed space, a fire extinguishing system with AF-X Fireblocker is an extremely suitable system, considering the limited construction modifications and the costs involved.

Fire safety parking garage

Aerosol is perfectly suitable as an extinguishing medium for closed and fully automatic parking garages.

Our fire extinguishing systems have a declaration of equivalence from the engineering firm Peutz in line with the General Requirements of the Building Decree in The Netherlands. This means that by installing a simple system of AF-X Fireblocker rooms can be protected against fire within the requirements of the Building Decree, without additional structural modifications. This means a huge cost saving for construction and renovation projects, certainly if it concerns high-rise buildings

No extinguishing damage, Does not expel oxygen

When a fire starts in a (automatic) parking garage, it quickly seizes around because the heat cannot go anywhere. Due to the enormous heat, regular parking garages and especially automatic parking garages are almost inaccessible to firefighters at such a moment. The only thing they can do is flood it. And this brings enormous damage!

Extinguishing with a dry Aerosol extinguishes the fire quickly, effectively and does not damage the existing equipment in your parking garage. An Aerosol extinguishes the fire at the molecular level. Once activated, the fire extinguishing systems initiate a reaction in which the released dry aerosol binds the free radicals of combustion. This actually removes the energy present from the flame. In short, no fire damage & does not expel oxygen! With fire safety parking garage from AF-X Fireblocker extinguishing damage remains reduced to a minimum.

The Secret of Success

Save money on modifications

The AF-X Fireblocker fire suppression system is “easy” to install. The generators are mounted in the room itself and are electrically controlled. In addition, no structural adjustments are required.

For you, this means that you can save in advance on, for example:
* Water storage;
* Drip trays;
* Pipework;
* Measures against pressure;
* Separate room for gas bottles.

Source protection

We can optimize your fire protection in existing (automatic) garages that are already equipped with an extinguishing system.

By equipping the sources of fire with an automatic fire extinguishing system you prevent the fire from spreading and your total flooding extinguishing system is activated.

Consider, for example, switch boxes and control cabinets. The fire is immediately dealt with in the switch box or control cabinet.

Extinguishing effect

The aerosol that is generated fights and extinguishes fire not by using the methods of suffocation (taking away oxygen) or cooling, but by stopping the combustion reaction on a molecular basis (by binding free radicals) without affecting the oxygen level.

With conventional fire extinguishing systems, an element is removed from the fire triangle. The extinguishing method of the AF-X Fireblocker system is more intelligent. The mixing ratios and the catalysis also play an important role. On a molecular level, fire is nothing but a chemical reaction. Within that chemical reaction, unstable molecules float around. These unstable molecules are also called free radicals. When the AF-X extinguishing systems are activated, the aerosol mist immediately forms a connection with these free radicals. The aerosol then again provides stable molecular connections. Thus the fire is blocked in the very first stage without cold shocks, without water and without oxygen expulsion.

Frequently Asked Questions:

  • Why is the AF-X Fireblocker system ideal for fire protection in automatic parking garages?
    The AF-X Fireblocker system is exceptionally suitable for enclosed and fully automatic parking garages due to its aerosol extinguishing technology. This method requires minimal structural modifications, leading to significant cost savings in both new construction and renovation projects, particularly in high-rise buildings. Furthermore, it prevents extinguishing damage by fighting fires at a molecular level without using water or depleting oxygen. This ensures effective fire suppression with minimal disruption to infrastructure and equipment, while complying with Building Decree requirements. The system is also easy to install and maintain, offering a reliable, cost-effective solution for advanced fire safety.
  • How does AF-X Fireblocker prevent extinguishing damage in case of fire in a parking garage?
    AF-X Fireblocker quickly and effectively extinguishes fires using a dry aerosol, without damaging existing equipment in the parking garage. Traditional extinguishing methods, such as water, often cause extensive collateral damage. Our system operates at a molecular level by binding the free radicals of combustion, thereby extracting energy from the flame. This means the fire is blocked without cold shocks, water usage, or oxygen displacement. Consequently, extinguishing damage is minimized, which is crucial for the rapid resumption of services. It represents a more intelligent extinguishing method than simply removing one element from the fire triangle, ensuring efficient and clean fire suppression.
  • What financial and ecological benefits does AF-X Fireblocker offer for parking garages?
    The AF-X Fireblocker system provides significant financial and ecological advantages. Financially, the system boasts a 15-year lifespan, lower investment costs due to the absence of structural modifications (like water storage or piping), and is easier to maintain than traditional systems. Ecologically, it is highly friendly: it has zero ozone depletion potential and zero global warming potential, meaning it has no negative impact on the environment. It uses no gas or water and does not affect oxygen levels. This makes it a sustainable and cost-efficient choice for modern fire safety.
  • Which aspects are important when choosing a fire extinguishing system for automatic parking garages?
    When selecting a fire extinguishing system for automatic parking garages, several factors are essential. The system must combat fire quickly and effectively without damaging the structure or vehicles. Consider systems that require minimal structural modifications for installation, which can significantly save costs and time. Additionally, it is important that the system is environmentally friendly, does not displace oxygen, and offers a long lifespan with easy maintenance. Compliance with building regulations and certifications is also crucial for safety and peace of mind, alongside the option for source protection to prevent spread.
  • How can material damage from fire in a fully automatic parking facility be effectively minimized?
    Material damage from fire in a fully automatic parking facility can be effectively minimized by choosing an extinguishing system that tackles fires directly at the source, without using water or other agents that cause secondary damage. A system that operates at a molecular level, stopping the combustion reaction without displacing oxygen, prevents water damage to electronics and structures, and minimizes impact on air quality. Installing such a system in, for instance, switch boxes or control panels can nip a fire in the bud, preventing large-scale activation of the total extinguishing system and its associated damage.
