Condensed aerosol fire suppression

FirePro Aerosol Generator Families

Explore cylindrical, box-type and ATEX generator categories for suitable enclosures, total-flooding applications and potentially explosive atmospheres.

Product overview

Three generator formats for different protection conditions

FirePro’s current product portfolio groups condensed aerosol generators into cylindrical, box-type and ATEX families. Each family addresses a different range of enclosure sizes, installation conditions and hazardous-area requirements.

This Vintex page provides selection-oriented summaries. Product codes, compound mass, dimensions, discharge time, activation options and approvals can change; always confirm the current official FirePro technical documents before specifying or purchasing equipment.

Small to medium enclosures

Cylindrical Generators

Compact generators that may be used individually in small confined enclosures or combined in engineered arrangements for suitable medium-sized spaces.

  • Electrical, thermal and dual-activation variants are presented by FirePro
  • Official range includes multiple compact compound-mass options
  • Potential uses include panels, cabinets and enclosed equipment

Medium to large enclosures

Box-Type Generators

Higher-capacity box-format generators intended for suitable total-flooding applications, integrated with the required detection, monitoring and control equipment.

  • FirePro lists electrical and dual-activation configurations
  • Range includes 1200 g through larger compound-mass models
  • Applications may include machinery, archive and marine spaces

Potentially explosive atmospheres

ATEX Generators

Specific generator configurations designed and tested for defined potentially explosive atmospheres under applicable ATEX requirements.

  • Model-specific certification and marking must be verified
  • Zone, gas or dust group and temperature conditions are critical
  • Installation must match the approved hazardous-area design

Information needed before generator selection

Generator selection is a fire-protection design task, not a simple enclosure-volume lookup.

01

Hazard and fire class

Identify fuels, equipment, ignition sources, ventilation and credible fire scenarios.

02

Protected geometry

Confirm gross and net volume, obstructions, openings, leakage and adjacent voids.

03

Occupancy and egress

Address warning, visibility, exposure, evacuation, isolation and post-discharge re-entry.

04

Activation strategy

Coordinate detection, control panel, electrical or thermal activation and manual functions.

05

Placement and clearances

Verify mounting, discharge path, hot-zone clearances, access and protected equipment limits.

06

Approval basis

Match the model, application, fire class and installation with current certificates and authority requirements.

Application caution: suitability is not automatic for batteries, reactive materials, deep-seated fires, occupied spaces or explosion hazards. A competent designer must review the fire scenario and the exact product approval.
Frequently asked questions

Questions about aerosol generators

Use current FirePro documentation for final model data and certification.

Are cylindrical generators only for electrical panels?

No. They are presented for small enclosures and can be combined for suitable medium spaces, but each application requires an engineered design and current product documentation.

When should a box-type generator be considered?

Box-type generators may be considered for suitable medium or large total-flooding spaces where their capacity, placement, discharge characteristics and integrated controls match the approved design.

Does an ATEX generator work in every hazardous zone?

No. The precise model marking, equipment group, category, gas or dust classification, temperature class, zone and installation conditions must all match the hazardous-area assessment.

Can FirePro specifications change?

Yes. Product ranges, dimensions, activation options, approvals and technical data may be revised. Follow the official links and obtain the current datasheet before selection.

How can I request a Vintex proposal?

Provide enclosure drawings, dimensions, equipment, fire hazard, ventilation, occupancy, required approvals, preferred activation method and project location through the Vintex contact page.

Need help selecting an aerosol generator family?

Send the enclosure, hazard, activation and approval requirements to Vintex.
