The Profirex Fire Monitor Complex LPK

The PROFIREX Fire Monitor Complex (LPK PROFIREX) has an integrated Sogda heat shield and a manually operated or remotely operated Korufire fixed fire monitor. This structurally complete complex is designed for fire protection in high hazard areas where an expansion foam blanket or a cooling water jet at different heights and distances is needed.

The LPK PROFIREX Complex provides fire extinguishing by straight jet or wide fog with both water and foam solutions from an elevated position in the immediate vicinity of the protected area.

The integrated “Sogda” heat shield protects the operator by reducing heat fluxes by 50 times with a combination of thermophysical and optical effects.

A unique structure, the LPX PROFIREX Complex is designed to operate with a heat flux density up to 60 kW/m2* and extinguish fires with temperatures up to 1200°С. Such high temperature fires are typical at oil and gas, fuel, and chemical facilities.

* The maximum value of heat flux for a firefighter in protective clothes without protective equipment is 4.2 kW/m2)

The LPK PROFIREX is engineered with a platform that is protected by the «Sogda» heat shield, which allows the extinguishing medium to be accurately targeted wherever and whenever required.

The standard configuration of the LPK PROFIREX includes:

• The PROFIREX fire monitor fire tower VP-U (TU 28.99.39-001-65344199-2020), which is made of structural steel with anti-corrosion coating, and is painted the color red;

• The Korufire fixed fire monitors with manual, or remote control are made of mechanical and corrosion-resistant materials and include properties that meet the operating conditions and requirements for fire monitors;

• The «Sogda» heat shield designed to protect personnel controlling the fire monitor from heat flux.

A linear positioner of the nozzle is provided to ensure the operator can safely change the angle of the medium extinguishing jet through the manually controlled fire monitors. The positioner control mechanism is located behind the heat shield, which protects the operator.

Integration of the heat shield and the fire monitor ensure both move simultaneously, fully protecting the operator from the most adverse effects of the fire’s heat flow.

The design of the LPK PROFIREX provides the ability to turn off the water-cooling system of the heat shield in the absence of heat hazards.
