Potential scenaries for a fire to be started are the following:
1. A fire started by accident in a protected area
2. A fire started on purpose in a protected area
3. A fire started close by a protected area
4. A fire started by a natural event (earthquake, thunder)
The system for fires exinction called BONPET is made to protect closed areas, for all the above mentioned potential scenaries.
BONPET can be used in three ways:
Automatic extinction;
Manual extinction;
Dilution with water.
Automatic extinction - it is recommanded to extinguish fires started by accident, in protected areas
If there is started a fire, the BONPET solution is turned into gas under the effect of the temperature in the gaseous mass, and so the increased pressure breaks the thin glass walls of the bottle.
In this way the solution floods the protected area, where it will extinguish the fire.
How to use BONPET as a manual kit for fires extinction:
If a fire is started close to a protected area, BONPET can also be used as a manual extinguisher
In this case, the bottle can be taken out from the support and thrown in the area where the fire was set on.
The spread solution after the recipent was broken takes a sudden and efficient action.
How to extinguish fires by dilution the BONPET solution with water:
The capacity of the fires extinction is increased by dilution the BONPET solution with
10 - 12 l of water
It is not used for extinguishing fires that come from lighting plants
The dilution with water is recommanded to extinguish fires that come from solid fuels that burn with embers (class A - wood, paper, textiles etc) and from inflammable fluids(class B - hydrocarbons, alcohol etc)
The efficient solution is kept for 24 hours since the bottle has been broken.
Comparing the effects of other extinguishing agents used in present, we notice that the BONPET fires extinction system is an unique way to prevent or to extinguish a fire.
From the economical point of view, using BONPET is very profitably:
The procedure of its installment is not complicated and it is done in a very short time; there is no need of tanks, compressors or other components;
It has got an independent , automatic and autonomous system to detect, active it and extinguish fires;
It does not depend on externel electric energy sources or pressure;
It does not need any maintenance during its life period, comparing to other conventional systems;
There are not maintenance costs;
Because of its long life time, the investment represents a minimal expense, comparing to the protection offered by using it;
Its guarantee is of 10 years.
In Romania, the BONPET fires extinction system is recommanded by The General Inspectorate of the Military Firemen Corps within The Ministry of Internal Affairs.
The BONPET system is also consistent with the softs and hardawares from
HEWLETT - PACKARD, which are used for administrative and commercial applications.
