For the room nobody is in when the fire starts
A portable extinguisher needs a person. A lift machine room, a small DG room, a panel room, an electrical shaft or a store cupboard is empty almost all the time, and a fire there gets a long unattended run before anyone notices. A modular unit closes that gap: a cylinder fixed to the ceiling above the risk, with a thermal bulb in its own valve, discharging automatically when the air at the unit reaches its rated temperature.
It is not a substitute for a gas flooding system and it is not sized for a room — it is a local-application device sized against the object underneath it. That is exactly why it is useful, and why the survey matters: the unit has to be directly over the risk, at a height within its rated coverage, with nothing in the way of the discharge.
These are also the cheapest way to cover a scattered set of small unmanned risks across a building, which is the usual reason they get specified. Where a discharge needs to be known about rather than discovered, the unit can be fitted with a pressure switch and interfaced to the fire panel. We survey, supply, install and check them annually with the rest of the portable inventory.
