Firstly, what is Dual Agent when it comes to fire suppression? Sometimes referred to as Twin Agent, this suppression concept is essentially a combination of two types of extinguishing mediums discharged either simultaneously or serially from two different discharge or piping networks; but controlled by the same fire detection and release system.

Reacton® automatic fire suppression systems designed for Off Road vehicles will commonly feature the Dual Agent configuration. This is made up of both a Dry Powder and Wet Chemical system.

This Dual Agent configuration offers significant advantages to just one type of extinguishing medium, especially when compared to just Wet Chemical systems, where it can offer a 40% reduction in our automatic fire suppression system size.

Dual Agent systems are an outstanding fire suppression method due to combining the individual features of Dry Powder & Wet Chemical into one extremely effective solution. So, not only can the system provide the rapid flame knockdown of Dry Powder with the cooling & blanketing properties of Wet Chemical, the system is economical and significantly smaller than that of a Wet Chemical only system.
