Wet escape system passes mobile equipment test
The Ansul LVS-15 liquid agent escape system, which is designed to soak a vehicle operator and the route to safety in the event of otherwise disastrous heat build-up and fire, is now available from Ardent UK Ltd having proved its value in tests in some of the most demanding environments. The liquid agent escape system is intended to be used in conjunction with other appropriate safety systems, such as the Ansul A-101 dry chemical suppression system.
Tyco Safety Products have tested the LVS-15’s potential as an escape assistance system in metal foundries and steel mills, where the risk of transport equipment becoming disabled in hot molten slag, or encountering accidental spillage, demands an improved means of operator escape from the danger.
The manually operated system can support up to 12 nozzles, providing a freeze-protected wet discharge to soak the operator prior to exiting a vehicle and to wet the egress path to minimize heat build-up. The system is intended for use in conjunction with other safety equipment, such as heat-resistant footwear, fire-retardant clothing and safety hoods with integral breathing apparatus, which must be operative before the escape assistance system is activated.
