The Chemring Energetics UK site at Ardeer has been producing energetic devices for over 100 years and is world renowned for its expertise in this industry.
Our range of Gas Generators are designed for use in lightweight modular systems where high risk fire sources require automatic protection. We are able to provide custom designed solid Gas Generators which are ideal for rapidly expelling powder or for use with liquid systems where a controlled pressure output is necessary.
The basic purpose of the Gas Generator is the controlled evolution of gas at a desired pressure to evacuate various sizes of fire suppression cylinders in a short amount of time.
Advantages
- Greater Control of Pressure
The pressure is only generated when the system functions and is controlled to provide the most effective pressure/ time profile for the application.
- Weight savings
No gas bottle, no pressure vessel, no pressure regulator
- Space Savings
Reduced pipework
- Little or no maintenance
No pressurised gas to check
- Enhanced Performance
Low Operating pressures; uniform output
- Simple to Install
No mains water or power supply required
- Highly Reliable
Developed from Aerospace Technology
- Safe
The absence of pressurised cylinders reduces the dangers that are apparent in alternative designs
