Technology principle and opportunities

JETEX opens up new prospects

The principle of gas-dynamic production of high-speed fine-dispersed two-phase flow of fire extinguishing working fluids of high speed and range of action, effectively combining a number of mechanisms of influence on the sources of fire, is the basis of JETEX Fire Fighting System.

System of Gas dynamic Technology (SGT)

Introduction to SGT Technology
implemented in JETEX Fire Fighting System

We have developed a new technology to create a different extinguishing mixture. Its essence is to produce a high-speed two-phase jet of gas and microdroplets of water with a certain concentration of phases. This jet has a long range, linear trajectory, and short extinguishing time, while consuming a small amount of water.

VIDEO: Jet tests on the bench in the laboratory

Two main advantages provided by SGT technology:

Significantly less water use

Extinguished objects are not loaded with large amounts of water, as the water consumption, when feeding through the flow line itself, is several times smaller, because it is not a classical flow of water, but a mixture of water and air, in almost the same proportional volume.

Remarkable efficiency

The JETEX fire-fighting efficiency is extraordinary – several times higher than with conventional devices. It is capable of providing for combined use – extinguishing with a gas-dynamic stream of water, or combining it with the use of foam. The device can also create very high-quality light foam, which reduces the required extinguishing time to a minimum.

"SGT technology is unique due to the fact that the droplets hit the fire at high speed to effectively knock down the flame, avoiding premature evaporation along the way."

Some of the tasks resolved by JETEX solutions:

  • Overcoming the distance to the fire
  • Provided by long range of jet flow:
    JETEX / Container type — up to 120 m
    JETEX / Aku firefighter (AKU)20+ m

  • Disruption of the flame
  • Provided by high-speed of jet flow:
    JETEX / Container typeup to 100 m/s
    JETEX / Aku firefighter (AKU)up to 36 m/s

  • Prevention of oxidizer (air) access to the combustion zoneRemoval of heat from combustion zone
  • Provided by size of jet flow droplets:
    JETEX / Container type~100 – 350 µm
    JETEX / Aku firefighter (AKU)~10 – 300 µm
    and increased evaporation speed – 1.000 times higher, in comparison to existing systems.

SGT, when compared to other existing technologies, offers opportunities to:

  • obtain velocities of the working substance in the initial cross-section of the jet flow several times greater;
  • increase the range by 2 times, ensuring the supply of the minimum required amount of fluid over long distances;
  • provide optimal dispersion of droplets or particles of jets in and around the fire site (~100 – 350 µm / ~10 – 300 µm (AKU));
  • reduce twice the consumption of fire extinguishing substance per unit of area of fire;
  • extinguish fires which are difficult or impossible to extinguish from short distances;
  • reduce time to extinguish the fire;
  • reduce damage, caused by process of fire extinguishing.

JETEX Aku firefighter is a powerful fire extinguisher that can be operated even by unqualified operators, including children. It is featured with our two-phase gas-dynamic flow extinguishing technology.

Simply put, it is a mixture of air and small droplets of water, which at a certain pressure and speed will create a coherent extinguishing stream. The mixtures created by JETEX systems have extreme extinguishing effects, as our fire extinguishers generate the micron-scale water droplets, that, upon impact, produce a large amount of steam that takes away heat, while the ordinary fire extinguishers are capable to create water droplets of about 1 mm in diameter, which is incomparable and insufficient by their impact on the fire.

An electric motor powered by a 48V battery drives the high-pressure pump. Charging the battery is exactly the same as for an electric bike or scooter. Starting the device is very simple, just turn on the power switch and the device is in standby mode.

AKU's battery lasts for 20-30 minutes, providing for up to 1500 liters of fire-extinguishing mixture to pass through. For comparison, this amount is 150 times greater than the capacity of a conventional hand-held fire extinguisher.

VIDEO: Aku firefighter walk-around

JETEX Aku firefighter can extinguish even heavy and intense fires, so it can be used in buildings, workshops, offices, factories, as well as on ships and ferries, etc. The device can extinguish with basically any kind of water: clean, dirty from the river, salty from the sea, or water from the pool. Its operation is not restrained by anything.

Application

JETEX Aku firefighter – multifunctional device for multiple tasks

JETEX Aku firefighter is a modern and multifunctional device with immense potential, which is equipped with a very powerful pump that reaches a performance of up to 40 bar, a long-lasting battery and an electric motor with extreme torque, as well as the embodied within JETEX proprietary technology, which we have successfully tested even on very challenging and strong fires.
But that's not all – we've designed AKU to offer so much more!

JETEX Aku firefighter is an extremely unique device, whose timeless technology is able to:

  • complete various tasks in the island system;
  • operate autonomously, charging the device’s own battery from a local network or, for example, from just two solar collectors, to ensure the continued operation;
  • provide supplying of several houses with drinking water;
  • transport water up to a height of 40 m;
  • supply useful water to gardens and outbuildings;
  • extinguish houses, offices, workshops, cottages, detached houses, stables, pastures, etc.;
  • intake water from any water source;
  • extinguish with water or foam at long distances;
  • use potable, service, or sea water;
  • work automatically and absolutely safe after simply turning on the switch.

JETEX is designed to suit most industries, businesses and civil sectors.

Performing high mobility, responding to the demands of fast transportation and delivery, as well as easy field deployment, the JETEX installations are designed for most of the application purposes, such as one made in the form factor of a 20-foot container, which provides the versatility and convenience when placing on mobile carriers – over-the-road, rail, or marine; as well as stationary platforms of fire fighting systems, including at sites where the most stringent requirements are imposed on fire safety, such as refineries, tanker fleets, seaports, airports, and many other.

JETEX – one for all

  • Airports, flight line and aircraft maintenance areas
  • Flammable liquid storage and handling
  • Marinas, shipyards, port operations
  • Production and process industries
  • Army and defense industries
  • Telecommunications and ICT
  • Transportation and shipping
  • Service sectors
  • Other

At sites and facilities where the most stringent requirements are imposed on fire safety, such as refineries, tanker fleets, sea- and airports, etc., the stationary JETEX modules, equipped with intelligent fire detection and auto-start-stop extinguishing systems, in addition to the mobile JETEX installations, – may provide a more effective alternative or an extra support to eliminate the risk of exposure or spread of fire.
