Transformer Fire Test

Test Overview

This test evaluates the performance of aerogel-based fire suppression technology in transformer fire scenarios involving high-voltage electrical equipment.

The objective is to verify suppression effectiveness, electrical safety, and equipment protection under real fire conditions.

The test simulates transformer fire risks commonly found in power plants, substations, and industrial electrical systems.

Key Fire Test Results

transformer fire test1

Rapid Fire Suppression

Quickly suppresses transformer fires and reduces flame intensity within seconds. Minimizes fire spread across electrical components.

transformer fire test3

Non-Conductive & Electrically Safe

Safe for use on high-voltage equipment.

No electrical conduction during discharge.

transformer fire test2

Rapid Cooling Performance

Quickly absorbs heat and reduces surface temperature within seconds. Effectively slows down thermal runaway propagation.

How It Works

How Aerogel Protects Electrical Equipment

Aerogel-based suppression technology provides effective fire control while maintaining electrical safety through non-conductive discharge and rapid cooling.

01.

Rapid Cooling

Reduces heat and limits fire spread.

02.

Aerogel Barrier Formation

Ensures safe application on electrical systems.

03.

Anti-Re-Ignition Protection

Prevents re-ignition and protects equipment.

Why Aerogel Is Safer for Electrical Fire Protection

Fire test results show significant performance differences between aerogel-based suppression and conventional fire extinguishing methods. Choosing the right solution directly impacts safety, equipment protection, and long-term cost.
