Key features/benefits:
-
Dual guard housing system with cooling air increases pump seal longevity while preventing fires from spreading
-
Dedicated system for each pump
-
Combines 3 layers of protection:
• Forced air cooling of seal to prevent failure and improve life
• Preventative monitoring of key failure indicators to predict failure before it happens, and
• Active auxiliary fire suppression using a foam agent to extinguish a seal fire should it occur
-
Fail-safe operation using mechanical fire detection – no reliance on power
-
Several configuration options- customizable for your operation’s specific requirements and layout
Primary advantages over conventional methods:
-
Preventative instrumentation to detect early signs of failing equipment- allowing you to stop a fire before it even starts
-
Suppressant foam is much more localized, leading to more effective suppression and easier cleanup than conventional systems
-
Individual foam canisters do not degrade over time like the pressurized bladders common in full-room foam systems
PumpGuard+
Wech Tech’s PumpGuard+ includes all of the features of the base PumpGuard package PLUS dual-zone fire suppression to both the mechanical seal AND the pump volute housing, providing total protection of the entire pump area.
