Aerosol Fire Detection and Suppression System

When an aerosol fire extinguisher is activated, the tablets inside the extinguisher generates a dense fog composed of particles as small as 2 microns by the result of redox (reductionoxidation) reaction.

This fog contains potassium carbonate, potassium bicarbonates, nitrogen, carbon dioxide, and some water vapor, that reacts with hydrogen and hydroxyl compounds, also known as free radicals, which are unstable products that are products that are produced during combustion and act as a fuel for the fire. The fog absorbs these molecules and prevents them from reintegrating info the combustion reactions. This breaks the chain of the chemical combustion reaction and chemically extinguishes the fire.
