GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS OF THE KIDDE IND SYSTEM

The Kidde IND System is a dry chemical fire suppression system with two types of agent. The system is capable of encompassing a wide variety of application requirements.The system utilizes stored pressure agent cylinders. Stored pressure cylinders:

• Remain free of contamination
• Reduce the packing of the agent
• Provide a smooth flow throughout the discharge

The cylinders are powder-coated, welded mild-steel shell conforming to DOT 4BW or 4BA construction. The valve  forged brass with chrome-nickel plating. The plating and cylinder coating help to make the assemblies corrosion resistant.The system activated mechanically from manual release, thermo-bulb links, and fusible links.

The Kidde IND Dry Chemical System  a fixed dry chemical system consisting of a supply of dry chemical stored in one or more Cylinder and Valve Assembly. Each cylinder is pressure activated by a System Valve Actuator.The system can be actuated either automatically and/or manually, using mechanical, electrical, or pressure actuation devices. Upon actuation, the dry chemical discharged through agent distribution piping and specially designed nozzles positioned throughout the protected area.
