in Milliseconds.

In a matter of milliseconds, a Fenwal Explosion Suppression System detects the buildup of pressure in an explosion and discharges an explosion suppressant into the enclosed space before destructive pressures are created.

The suppressant works in two ways:

1. Chemically, by interfering with the explosion's reaction, and
2. Thermally, by removing heat from the deflagration's flame front and thereby lowering its temperature below that needed to support combustion.

The explosion suppressant also creates a barrier between the combustible particles to prevent the further transfer of heat.
