plasma booth fire suppression

[CHI3]

We are looking to install a fire suppression system in our plasma booths. Does anyone have any information on a system they would recommend. Thank you in advance for your help.

Hi Chico
Even if you install fire suppression system, you are going to need the certification, because if there is fire or explosion risk, you need the certification, that of course you can’t do by yourself, so in case of spray both or equipment intended to be used in hazardous media, like fire or explosion hazard materials, there are regulations which are absolutely mandatory, and change from each nation, for example in Europe must be applied ATEX Directive, if your plant is in the USA, the regulation NEC505 is mandatory, so try to know the regulation and after this you can by all the necessary that fulfills the regulations, but you are going to need the certification, and I mean that is going to be very difficult to have it if you done the update to NEC505 regulations by your self.
