About Fireball Fire Extinguisher
Fireball Fire Extinguisher balls are compact, spherical fire suppression devices that activate automatically upon contact with flame. Made to enhance fire safety, they can either be thrown into a fire or installed near high-risk areas for passive protection
Detailed Features
- Simple Operation: No training required—just throw or install.
- Passive & Active Modes: Reacts automatically to flames or can be manually deployed.
- Portable & Lightweight: Easily handled by anyone, including children or the elderly
- Maintenance-Free: No servicing, refills, or pressure testing needed for 5–6 years.
- Eco-Friendly: Uses safe, non-toxic agents with easy cleanup.
- Safety First: Physical distance can be maintained—user stays safe
- Audible Alert: Loud activation helps alert bystanders.
- Multi-Environment Use: Ideal for homes, kitchens, offices, vehicles, heritage sites, etc.
Technical Specifications
- Shape & Size:
- Typically spherical, roughly 150 mm (6 inches) in diameter.
- Weight:
- Usually around 1.3 kg – 2kg, with a tolerance of ± 0.2 kg.
- Extinguishing Agent:
- Generally contains ABC dry chemical powder (often mono-ammonium phosphate) that is non-toxic and electrically non-conductive.
- Activation Mechanism:
- Triggers on direct flaming contact via a pyrotechnic fuse; activation occurs within 3–10 seconds, commonly 3–7 seconds.
- Dispersion:
- On activation, the ball bursts, emitting powder in a 360° radius over an area of about 4–10 m² (radius roughly 2–3 m).
- Alarm:
- Some models generate a loud alert sound (approximately 120–140 dB) to draw attention.
- Lifespan:
- Typically maintenance-free for 5–6 years.
- Safety:
- Non-toxic, safe for people, animals, and electronics; no residue damage.
- Storage Conditions:
- Functional in a wide temperature range, e.g., –40 °C to +85 °C.
Fire Class Coverage
- Class A: Solid combustibles (wood, cloth, paper, rubber, plastic).
- Class B: Flammable liquids such as oil, fat, or gas.
- Class C/E: Electrical fires and short circuits.
Typical Use Cases of the Fireball Fire Extinguisher
- Manual Deployment: Throw or roll into a small fire for immediate suppression.
- Automatic Setup: Install on walls or ceilings—especially in kitchens, near electrical panels, gas cylinders, engine compartments—so it self-activates upon fire detection.
Limitations & Guidelines of Fireball Fire Extinguisher
- Not a Complete Replacement:
- These fireballs are meant to supplement—not replace—standard fire safety systems like fire extinguishers and sprinklers.
- Best for Initial Fires:
- Most effective during early-stage or incipient fires; less effective on fully developed or large-scale fires.
- Potential Noise:
- The loud bang may startle individuals.
- Trigger Sensitivity:
- Heat alone may not trigger deployment—flame contact is required; keep them away from open heat sources to avoid false activation.
