When it comes to motor racing, it is in general accepted that a arid powder fire extinguisher will provide it is operator with the most effective all-round capability, due in no little share to their capacity to tackle multiple types of fire – including, but not fixed to, electrical fires and petrol and oil fires, two of the more mutual types of fire to take place in motor racing. One of the key drawbacks with powder systems is that, in a good deal of cases, the powder itself is corrosive to softer metals. The powder also attracts moisture and damp – so in a good deal of cases in-car electricals can, and will, be damaged (often irreversibly) by their use. ABC powder extinguishesr, more normally known as arid powder extinguishers, incorporate ammonium phosphate which – when in contact with water – forms phosphoric acid, a corrosive substance. These type of systems are, by their very nature, exceedingly messy to use – this notwithstanding is a little price to remunerate in the grand scheme of things – in particular in motor racing environments when the peril of petrol or other flammable liquid fires is high. ‘Plumbed in’ fire extinguisher systems are comprehensively designed to comply with entry-level motor sport contest regulatings (and, in numerous cases, non-MSA regulated motorsports sports, such as sure drift championships). These schemes are installed within the car and may be activated either by the driver internally or by race marshals through externally-mounted activation points. They are notwithstanding designed (in the main) only to supplement the use of hand kept schemes by race marshals. Generally speaking, a plumbed in fire extinguisher kit will include the following; the fire extinguisher itself, a finish set of pipework (for ‘plumbing’ the fire extinguisher into place), 2 or more nozzles (used to direct the fire extinguisher powder – one will be installed underneath the bonnet, in the engine bay, and the other in the cabin), an activation pull for the cabin and one for the outside (generally fitted to the scuttle panel, at the base of the windscreen), a fire safety sticker set, and ultimately the fitting instructions. Whilst the majority of schemes used in racing are foam-based systems, more and more of motor racing’s modern schemes are getting gas-based. The latter are seen by a heap of as being the very best that the market presently has to offer, as they offer shelter up and beyond the standard, localised shelter offered by the more conventional powder or foam-based fire systems. |
