DESCRIPTION
The KIDDE KVS dry chemical system utilizes monoammonium phosphate
dry chemical, a multi-purpose dry chemical rated fro class A,
B, and C type fires. The chemical is non-conductive and gives
fast flame knockdown. The cylinders are welded, US DOT 4BW-360,
mild-steel shell. The system employs stored pressure, at 360 PSIG,
keeping the dry chemical agent free from contamination.
The KVS dry chemical system is available with three cylinder sizes:
KVS-21, with four nozzles; KVS-45 with six or eight nozzles and
KVS-68 with eight nozzles, providing an extended discharge time.
This extended discharge time can be especially important in machinery
where high-pressure hydraulics can cause a reflash due to source
of ignition.
Areas where fires can occur include:
-
Engine Compartment
-
Fuel Tanks and Lines
-
Hydraulic Reservoirs
-
Lines and Accumulators
-
Heaters
-
Transmissions
-
Battery Compartment
-
Electrical Distribution and Raceways
