FlareProf – automatic thermal-aerosol system for protecting technical and industrial spaces
FlareProf is an automatic suppression system using type-S thermal aerosol, designed to protect technical, industrial, and commercial spaces where a compact, clean, and effective fire-protection solution is needed. Unlike solutions dedicated to very specific applications, FlareProf is suited to a wide range of uses: technical rooms, electrical cabinets, servers, telecom, power systems, machinery, and critical equipment.
The product is intended for enclosed and semi-enclosed spaces and provides localized protection with no piping network, no pressurized vessel, and no periodic maintenance. The suppression agent is generated rapidly upon activation and floods the protected zone, helping to extinguish the fire through chemical inhibition of the combustion reaction.
Automatic protection for diverse technical applications
FlareProf can be activated electrically, via a fire-detection panel, or thermally, when the temperature in the protected zone reaches 347°F ± 27°F (175°C ± 15°C). Once activated, the aerosol is discharged rapidly through nozzles into the protected enclosure, making it well suited to applications where response time is critical.
With its compact form, simple installation, and range of models for protected volumes of up to 70.6 ft³ (2 m³), FlareProf is a practical solution for protecting high-value equipment and technical areas where a conventional suppression system would be more difficult to install.
Why choose FlareProf?
- Multiple applications – suited to IT, telecom, power, industry, machinery, technical rooms, and electrical equipment.
- Type-S thermal aerosol – helps extinguish the fire by inhibiting the combustion reaction.
- No pressure – stored at atmospheric pressure, with no pressurized vessel.
- No piping – simplified installation, with no complex infrastructure.
- Dual activation – electrical activation at 24 V DC or thermal activation at 347°F ± 27°F (175°C ± 15°C).
- No periodic maintenance – a compact device with a service life of up to 10 years.
- Clean agent – a non-toxic, non-corrosive solution with zero impact on the ozone layer.
- Flexible coverage – models for protected volumes from 17.7 ft³ up to 70.6 ft³ (0.5–2 m³).

Available models
| Model | Agent mass | Protected volume | Dimensions |
|---|---|---|---|
| FlareProf 0.05G | 2.79 oz (79 g) | 17.7 ft³ (0.5 m³) | ∅2.50 × 1.26 in (∅63.5 × 32 mm) |
| FlareProf 0.1G | 3.53 oz (100 g) | 35.3 ft³ (1.0 m³) | ∅3.54 × 2.24 in (∅90 × 57 mm) |
| FlareProf 0.15G | 5.29 oz (150 g) | 53 ft³ (1.5 m³) | ∅3.54 × 4.17 in (∅90 × 106 mm) |
| FlareProf 0.2G | 7.05 oz (200 g) | 70.6 ft³ (2.0 m³) | ∅3.54 × 4.72 in (∅90 × 120 mm) |
The model is selected according to the total net protected volume, at a suppression density of 0.1 oz/ft³ (100 g/m³). For irregular, ventilated, or high-risk enclosures, sizing and placement must be confirmed by qualified personnel before installation.

Simple installation in equipment and technical enclosures
FlareProf is sized according to the protected volume and is fastened with compatible M4 screws. For thermal activation, the heat-sensitive cord is positioned in the risk zone, away from live parts and high-temperature components.
It is recommended to keep a clear space of at least 2 in (50 mm) in front of the nozzle, to avoid air intakes, and to mount the device so that the nozzle is not aimed at the human body.
Important: installation must be carried out by professionally trained personnel. The product is not intended for use in explosive atmospheres, in the presence of strong oxidizers, or of reactive metals such as potassium and sodium.
The difference from FlareRack
FlareProf is the right choice for general fire-protection applications in technical and industrial spaces, such as IT, telecom, power, electrical cabinets, machinery, and technical rooms. FlareRack is more oriented toward compact rack-type applications, battery cabinets, ESS systems, and areas with battery-related risk.
So FlareProf suits projects where an automatic suppression solution is needed for several types of equipment and enclosures, not just for dedicated battery or rack applications.
