429853

Ansul Automan

is a trade name for a regulated mechanical release assembly used in fire suppression systems by Ansul, a company specializing in fire protection [2].

Here’s a breakdown of what it is and how it works:

• Function: The Ansul Automan is a key component in releasing extinguishing agent in a fire suppression system. It houses the mechanism that controls the pressurized gas that pushes the fire suppression agent out of the tank. [3, 4]
• Components: It typically consists of a metal enclosure, a regulated release mechanism, and knockouts for connecting piping for detection systems and the agent tank (which is sold separately). [3]
• Activation: There are two main ways to trigger the Ansul Automan:
  • Automatic: A fusible link detection system can be connected. When the surrounding temperature reaches a certain threshold, the link melts, triggering the release mechanism. [3]
  • Manual: A mechanical pull station can be connected for manual activation. [3]

Benefits of Ansul Automan:

• Versatility: The Ansul Automan can be used in various fire suppression system configurations, including single, double, and multiple agent tanks. [3]
• Durability: Ansul fire suppression products are known for their rugged design and compliance with strict safety standards [4].
• Reliability: The regulated release mechanism ensures a consistent and controlled discharge of the extinguishing agent. [3]

Important to Note:

• Installation should only be done by qualified professionals familiar with fire suppression systems and Ansul products [3].
• The Ansul Automan is a part of a larger fire suppression system and should not be considered a standalone fire extinguisher.

For further information on Ansul Automan and its compatibility with specific fire suppression systems, consulting a qualified fire protection specialist is recommended.
