FKO FacilitiesIntroducing Fire Knock Out
The introduction ofa powerful innovation
Aim of the presentation
■ Principal of a combustion process.
■ Danger of the combustion process.
■ Fire triangle.
■ Flash-over.
■ Working principle FKO.
■ The use of FKO.
■ FKO in practical situations.
Combustion process
Definition of the combustion process:a combustion is a chemical reaction between fuel and oxygen.
Fire:is an unwanted/uncontrolled combustion process.
Fire Knock Out
Three factors in case of fire:
■ Fuel
■ Temperature
■ Oxygen
Known as the ‘Fire triangle’
Summary of the intoductionFire triangle
■ Fire is unwanted/uncontrolled combustion.
■ To extinguish a fire we have to remove.
one side of the fire triangle.
■ Combustion products and flash over.
Fire triangle
The Fire triangle
In case of a fire: remove one side of the fire triangle
Fire Knock Out and the triangle
Fire Knock Out removes: the Temperature and Oxygen side
Danger in case of a fire:
Combustion products:■ Smoke
■ Carbon dioxide and monoxide
■ Corrosive gasses
■ Heat
Confined spaces■ Flash-over
Danger in case of a fire:
Flash-over:
■ when the unburned parts (the smoke) sets on fire again.
Fire classes:
Different types of fires:■ A = solid materials
■ B = Liquids
■ C = Gasses
■ D = Light Metals
Fire Knock Out
How does it work?
■ Automatically starts to operate
after contact with open fire.
■ Fights the source of a fire within a
few seconds and prevents a small
fire from getting big.
How does it work?
■ A plastic container
■ A harmless fire extinguishing fluid
■ Activation material
■ A quick fuse
Fire Knock Out
When fuse contacts open fire:
■ The fire is attacked immediately
■ Container splits open
■ Fire extinguishing fluid sprays out
and cools down the fire
Fire Knock Out
■ Fire extinguishing fluid cools down
the fire and becomes steam.
■ Steam does not contain oxygen and
blocks it from getting through.
■ Remaining layer reduces the chance
that the fire starts again.
Fire Knock Out
■ The fluid is animal, environment and human friendly.
■ The plastic remains are recyclable.
Fire Knock Out
Fire Knock Out is manufactured in two types of containers:
■ 1,6 litre preventive
■ 5,6 litre active
Fire Knock Out
Fire Knock Out is manufactured with a foam based extinguishing agent:
■ Foam based:
90% water + 10% preservative substance. suitable for A, B and C types of fire.
■ FKO is EN 3-7 Certificated (class A and B)
Fire Knock Out
Fuse:
■ coton, covered by plastic hose.
■ Watertight connected to tube.
Advantage:
■ Does not react on normal heat sources.
■ Activates itself by contact with open fire.
Fire Knock Out
Advantages of FKO-foam based:
■ Usable by solid and liquid fires
■ High cooling capacity (spray)
■ Covering film on liquids (stops the
evaporation)
Note:■ FKO is not dangerous near electricity
Who can use the FKO 1,6 litre preventive unit?
■ Everybody (adults)
■ At home / on location,
electrical/gas locker
laundry-room, workshop,
campers, caravans,
boats, cars, etc.)

Who can use the FKO 5,6 litre active unit?
■ Trained persons like firemen,
military and the police
■ Industry (riskfull areas,
switchgear rooms,
flammable liquids, etc.)
■ Maritime (ships,platforms, rigs)
Fire Knock Out
■ A new and revolutionary device
■ Easy to mount
■ Easy to use and light-wheighted (High buildings)
■ Works directly after contact with open fire
■ No maintenance costs.(5 year warranty)
■ Subsequent damage will be limited
■ Works when you are asleep or away

Fire Knock OutOther unexpected quality of the
FKO 5,6 kg:
■ Very effective and
simple way to remove
landmines.
