The engine compartment generally includes the engine, air filter, battery, engine exhaust system, throttle valve, water tank replenishment tank, relay box, brake booster pump, throttle cable, window washer fluid reservoir, brake fluid reservoir, fuse etc.
Many people in the automobile industry complain about that they not be able to find the right fire suppression systems to install in their vehicles, according to their surveys and research, at present, the main automotive fire protection products on the market are: water based, foam based or dry chemical based.
Water based type is easy to make the engine compartment and the metal components get corrosion after use.
Foam based type and dry chemical based type will make the vehicles get dirty after releasing.
Most importantly, all of them are large in size and have low extinguishing efficiency.
So in the past of years, a kind of fire detection tube became popular to install in electrical cabinets and engine compartment of auto vehicles. the representative companies who produce this product are BLAZECUT and FIRETRACE; but the fire detecting tube is also have its defect, that is: it use Hfc-227ea gas and NOVEC1230 gas as suppression medium, and need pressure to work, which makes the product not safe for the environment of vehicle engines, people are afraid of their vehicles being damaged after install it.
Obviously, aerosol systems already has become BLAZECUT alternative and FIRETRACE alternative.
Until later years a kind of waterproof non pressurized vehicle fire suppression system was published, it is aerosol based vehicle fire protection units, which is compact in size and strong in fire extinguishing ability, people don’t need to consider about its safety factor, because it is a non-pressurized products with clean aerosol compound-the strontium nitrate chemical.

Aerosol extinguishing generator is like a strong robot, It is very powerful and can cover any field, It has many advantages:
- 304 stainless steel as cylinder, it is waterproof and high quality.
- Can reach small space.
- Discharge evenly and 360 degree direction.
- Releasing out aerosol compound without pressure, with long spray distance.
- Non toxic when people inhale it.
- Long life span, up to 10 years in wet areas and up to 15 years in dry areas.
- It is a waterproof and dust-proof product, can be stored for a long time.
At present, many brands of cars have installed this innovative suppression product, such as Volvo, Benz, BMW, Ford, Porsche, etc. These cars usually use their own car battery to connect the aerosol, and then install an automatic control device in the cockpit, so that a complete set of auto fire extinguishing system can travel. People no longer need to worry about the car fire when driving.
In the same way, trucks, school buses, buses, subways, high-speed trains, etc. can also be installed with this product. The installation and fire extinguishing principles are the same.
Most people think that it is unnecessary to install fire extinguishing devices in automobile engines, and they are also worried that the installation of fire extinguishing systems will have a bad impact on the performance of the engine. This worry is unnecessary, because at present, the agent of fire protection products that can be installed in automobile engines is clean and non-toxic.
When driving, life safety comes first. It is a happy thing to install a good fire extinguishing product to protect your travel safety.
