FKO FacilitiesIntroducing Fire Knock Out

The introduction ofa powerful innovation

Aim of the presentation

■ Principal of a combustion process.

■ Danger of the combustion process.

■ Fire triangle.

■ Flash-over.

■ Working principle FKO.

■ The use of FKO.

■ FKO in practical situations.

Combustion process

Definition of the combustion process:a combustion is a chemical reaction between fuel and oxygen.

Fire:is an unwanted/uncontrolled combustion process.

Fire Knock Out

Three factors in case of fire:

■ Fuel

■ Temperature

■ Oxygen

Known as the ‘Fire triangle’

Summary of the intoductionFire triangle

■ Fire is unwanted/uncontrolled combustion.

■ To extinguish a fire we have to remove.

one side of the fire triangle.

■ Combustion products and flash over.

Fire triangle

The Fire triangle

In case of a fire: remove one side of the fire triangle

Fire Knock Out and the triangle

Fire Knock Out removes: the Temperature and Oxygen side

Danger in case of a fire:

Combustion products:■ Smoke

■ Carbon dioxide and monoxide

■ Corrosive gasses

■ Heat

Confined spaces■ Flash-over

Danger in case of a fire:

Flash-over:

■ when the unburned parts (the smoke) sets on fire again.

Fire classes:

Different types of fires:■ A = solid materials

■ B = Liquids

■ C = Gasses

■ D = Light Metals

Fire Knock Out

How does it work?

■ Automatically starts to operate

after contact with open fire.

■ Fights the source of a fire within a

few seconds and prevents a small

fire from getting big.

How does it work?

■ A plastic container

■ A harmless fire extinguishing fluid

■ Activation material

■ A quick fuse

Fire Knock Out

When fuse contacts open fire:

■ The fire is attacked immediately

■ Container splits open

■ Fire extinguishing fluid sprays out

and cools down the fire

Fire Knock Out

■ Fire extinguishing fluid cools down

the fire and becomes steam.

■ Steam does not contain oxygen and

blocks it from getting through.

■ Remaining layer reduces the chance

that the fire starts again.

Fire Knock Out

■ The fluid is animal, environment and human friendly.

■ The plastic remains are recyclable.

Fire Knock Out

Fire Knock Out is manufactured in two types of containers:

■ 1,6 litre preventive

■ 5,6 litre active

Fire Knock Out

Fire Knock Out is manufactured with a foam based extinguishing agent:

■ Foam based:

90% water + 10% preservative substance. suitable for A, B and C types of fire.

■ FKO is EN 3-7 Certificated (class A and B)

Fire Knock Out

Fuse:

■ coton, covered by plastic hose.

■ Watertight connected to tube.

Advantage:

■ Does not react on normal heat sources.

■ Activates itself by contact with open fire.

Fire Knock Out

Advantages of FKO-foam based:

■ Usable by solid and liquid fires

■ High cooling capacity (spray)

■ Covering film on liquids (stops the

evaporation)

Note:■ FKO is not dangerous near electricity

Who can use the FKO 1,6 litre preventive unit?

■ Everybody (adults)

■ At home / on location,

electrical/gas locker

laundry-room, workshop,

campers, caravans,

boats, cars, etc.)

Who can use the FKO 5,6 litre active unit?

■ Trained persons like firemen,

military and the police

■ Industry (riskfull areas,

switchgear rooms,

flammable liquids, etc.)

■ Maritime (ships,platforms, rigs)

Fire Knock Out

■ A new and revolutionary device

■ Easy to mount

■ Easy to use and light-wheighted (High buildings)

■ Works directly after contact with open fire

■ No maintenance costs.(5 year warranty)

■ Subsequent damage will be limited

■ Works when you are asleep or away

Fire Knock OutOther unexpected quality of the

FKO 5,6 kg:

■ Very effective and

simple way to remove

landmines.
