Aerosol Fire Protection – Modern Fire Suppression for High-Risk Assets
Aerosol fire protection is an advanced fire suppression technology designed to protect enclosed, high-risk environments where traditional fire systems are impractical or ineffective. Supplied by MultiTorque Fire Suppression, aerosol fire protection systems deliver rapid fire knockdown without water, foam, or high-pressure gas cylinders.
These systems are widely used across electrical infrastructure, industrial machinery, mining equipment, transport assets, control cabinets, and battery energy storage systems (BESS), where fast response and minimal damage are critical.

What Is Aerosol Fire Protection?
Aerosol fire protection uses a condensed aerosol agent that is released when a fire is detected or when the system is thermally activated. Once discharged, the aerosol spreads evenly throughout the protected enclosure and suppresses fire by interrupting the chemical combustion process.
Unlike gas-based systems that displace oxygen, aerosol fire protection works at a molecular level, making it effective on fires involving:
- Electrical equipment
- Flammable liquids
- Solid combustibles
- Lithium-ion battery-related risks
Because the aerosol is dry and non-corrosive, it does not damage sensitive components or machinery.
How Aerosol Fire Protection Systems Work
When activated, an aerosol generator produces a fine particulate compound that:
- Rapidly suppresses flames within seconds
- Prevents re-ignition
- Reaches concealed or hard-to-access areas
- Leaves no residue or moisture
The aerosol remains suspended long enough to fully suppress the fire, providing reliable protection without requiring large storage volumes or complex discharge systems.
Key Benefits of Aerosol Fire Protection
Aerosol fire protection systems offer a range of advantages compared to traditional suppression technologies:
No High-Pressure Cylinders
Aerosol systems operate without pressurised vessels, reducing safety risks and compliance complexity.
No Pipework or Nozzles
The generators are installed directly in the protected space, making them ideal for retrofits and compact enclosures.
Minimal Maintenance Requirements
Long service life and low maintenance reduce ongoing operational costs.
Space-Saving Design
Perfect for cabinets, containers, vehicles, and mobile plant where space is limited.
Environmentally Responsible
Zero ozone depletion and minimal environmental impact.
Fast Fire Suppression
Rapid activation reduces fire damage and operational downtime.
Certified Aerosol Fire Protection in Australia
Aerosol fire protection systems supplied by MultiTorque comply with Australian and international standards, including:
- AS 4487 – Condensed Aerosol Fire Extinguishing Systems
- AS 5062 – Fire Protection for Mobile and Transportable Equipment
These certifications make aerosol fire protection suitable for fixed installations and mobile assets operating in demanding environments.
Common Applications for Aerosol Fire Protection
Aerosol fire protection is used across a wide range of industries and assets, including:
- Electrical switchrooms and substations
- Battery energy storage systems (BESS)
- Mining equipment and mobile plant
- Control panels and MCC cabinets
- Marine engine rooms
- Rail and bus electrical compartments
- Manufacturing and processing machinery
- Agricultural equipment
- Data and communication enclosures
For assets where water or foam could cause more damage than the fire itself, aerosol fire protection provides a clean and effective alternative.
