Key Benefits
FireCharger brings you the BEST fire suppression system on the market today.
- FireCharger is more economical and the ONLY system that can be refilled/recharged at the racetrack by YOU!
- FireCharger puts you back in the race faster and easier than any other system!
- FireCharger uses AFFF (Aqueous Film Forming Foam) technology with a patented extinguishment system that not only suppresses the fire but also helps prevent flashback.
- FireCharger PUTS THE FIRE OUT AND KEEPS THE FIRE OUT!
- FireCharger’s patented system uses AFFF with Carbon Dioxide (CO²) are both approved extinguishing agents as well as environmentally friendly, unlike Halon 1211 and Halon 1301 (which are widely used in racing in the U.S. In fact, all Halon agents have been outlawed in Europe and are no longer produced anywhere in the world).
- FireCharger’s patented system uses AFFF and CO² in combination to produce an expanded foam discharge that outperforms any other AFFF system on the market. The FireCharger system cylinder is TOTALLY filled with a 6% AFFF / 94% water mixture. This concentration allows the FireCharger system to be used with all racing fuels including those with alcohol additives.
- FireCharger’s #1 goal is racing safety.
How it Works
The FireCharger system is activated by a pull cable which releases the CO² propellant into the cylinder where it mixes with and aerates the AFFF mixture. At the same time the sudden increase in pressure opens the non-fragmenting rupture disc. This allows complete and total discharge through the piping to the extremely wide coverage nozzles found ONLY on a FireCharger system! The foam mixture discharged by the FireCharger systems contains CO² not normal air, producing an EXTRA level of extinguishment and protection.
Plumbing and the undischarged CO2 cartridge indicates the integrity of the system. In ideal conditions, a properly installed system is capable of extinguishing a fire of any type motor vehicle. However, the nozzle(s) aim may not be maintained in all cases due to unavoidable events such as a vehicle accident or racing shunt.
FireCharger’s #1 goal is racing safety.
