Each tube contains a measured amount of a liquid gas extinguishing agent FM-200® (heptafluoropropane) calculated to cover the volume of air space. FM-200® has a boiling point of approximately 1.7 degrees Fahrenheit. In the fire triangle where there is fuel => heat=> oxygen, FM-200® removes heat. It is non-toxic, non-corrosive, leaves no residue and poses no environmental threats. This gas is also used as a propellant in asthma inhalers.
With having a tube wrapped around your engine compartment the fire can start on any side and the tube can respond, unlike a traditional system that uses a sensor that is in one location and you have to question the area most likely to have a fire.
The tubes are installed individually with only 1 tube protecting the UTV engine area. They respond to heat. As the temperature increases the liquid turns to gas, then the gas expands and becomes pressurized. At the same time, the polyamide tube begins to weaken (get softer) causing the tube to rupture releasing the extinguishing agent with force (over 300 psi) to the precise area with the highest temperature. The activation is in milliseconds.
With having a tube wrapped around your engine compartment the fire can start on any side and the tube can respond, unlike a traditional systems that use a nozzle which is mounted in one location the Proteng tube wraps the engine bay and protects at every angle.
