Lifeline’s latest generation of fire suppression system consists of 2 cylinders, one for the engine bay & one for the cockpit area, activated simultaneously by a newly developed intelligent control box that also continually monitors the integrity of the system. The engine cylinder features a dual discharge system that initially knocks the fire out before a secondary discharge of a special coolant fluid cools the area preventing re-ignition. The cockpit area is protected by a second cylinder of extinguishant with the option of having the nozzle either attached to the cylinder or remotely mounted to aid installation.
There are two sizes of kit dependant on the area of the cockpit zone. 2kg for cockpits of1.6—2.3 M³ or 3kg for cockpits of 2.3—4.0 M³. In both types the engine cylinder remains the same size. There is no weight advantage in trying to use the small unit as this unit is ballasted to the same weight as the 3kg unit as required by the FIA. The correct cockpit size is critical to the system functioning as intended to ensure drivers/co-drivers safety.
The Zero 3620 systems have been mandated for the WRC in 2017 and are officially recommended for use in all other categories, including FIA GT, which will be introduced from 2018. There are options of 2 types of outlet on the cockpit cylinder (fixed/integral or remote) depending on your application.
