HAFEX aerosol fire suppression system
An aerosol fire suppression system protects electrical cabinets, technical rooms, and lithium-ion battery containers against fire, while limiting collateral damage from heat, smoke, and water. Aerosol technology is also increasingly popular as a lithium fire extinguisher, as water often proves ineffective for these types of fires. The HAFEX aerosol fire suppression system is compact, activates automatically, and interrupts the fire's chemical reaction without depleting the oxygen in the room. Yaena Solutions supplies and installs this aerosol fire suppression system throughout the Netherlands.

An invisible risk with catastrophic consequences
1
A short circuit means everything comes to a standstill
Short circuits or overheating in a fuse box or main distribution board are common causes of fire. If the power goes out, your entire operation grinds to a halt and the costs start mounting immediately.
2
Fire in inaccessible spaces
Control cabinets, technical rooms, and battery containers are often cramped and enclosed. Fires starting in these areas are often detected late and are difficult to reach with conventional extinguishing equipment.
3
Disastrous fire-extinguishing damage
Even if a fire is detected quickly, extinguishing it with water or powder can cause irreparable damage to your electronics. In such cases, the damage caused by the extinguishing agent is often greater than the fire damage itself.

The solution
1
Reduced consequential damage
The aerosol interrupts the fire's chemical reaction without the use of water or powder. This allows the system to limit damage from heat, smoke, and water, while minimizing consequential damage.
2
Automatic
The thermal bulb activator reacts mechanically to heat and triggers the system without the need for an external power supply.
3
Compact & Flexible
Smaller and lighter than traditional systems, making it suitable for challenging spaces. As an aerosol fire extinguisher, the HAFEX system fits into electrical cabinets, technical rooms, and utility cupboards. This makes it a valuable addition to your broader fire safety solutions for the hospitality industry.

The challenge
For an international BESS (Battery Energy Storage System) project, energy storage containers were built and supplied by Guo An Da in China. These containers house critical battery and electrical installations, requiring reliable fire protection that meets current standards.
The solution
In close collaboration with Lobeco, Yaena Solutions can supply and install Hafex products tailored to your specific situation. This allows for the application of fire suppression systems for battery containers in accordance with project requirements and the EN 15276 standard.

HAFEX aerosol fire suppression system
Protection for distribution boards and lithium-ion battery containers
For lithium-ion battery setups, a reliable automatic fire suppression system for battery containers is essential. In these enclosed spaces, high energy density, heat buildup, and the risk of thermal runaway play a significant role. The HAFEX aerosol fire suppression system is designed for effective fire fighting in virtually enclosed spaces. Upon activation, the solid compound converts into an aerosol that disperses throughout the space, interrupting the chemical reaction of the fire without depleting oxygen. This makes the system suitable as a lithium fire extinguisher for batteries in energy storage installations, charging infrastructure projects, and industrial applications.
Simple integration for professionals
The HAFEX system is a compact, space-saving addition to your fire safety plan. It is smaller and lighter than traditional systems and activates automatically via a thermal bulb, requiring no external power supply. This makes it suitable as an aerosol fire extinguisher in electrical cabinets and as a fire extinguisher for utility cupboards, as well as a suppression system for battery containers. The thermal bulb is available in four temperatures (68, 79, 93, and 141 °C), allowing you to tailor the system to the risk assessment of your space.

Prevent downtime caused by fire
The HAFEX aerosol fire suppression system protects your electrical installations, but fire rarely stays in one place. A spark in a switch cabinet and a flame above a cooking line require different approaches, and it is precisely that combination that makes a building truly safe. With a kitchen fire suppression system, you secure the kitchen, while a complete fire protection system covers every individual risk source in your building. This ensures that no potential hazard is overlooked. Contact us to discover which protection is right for your property.

Frequently asked questions
What is an aerosol fire suppression system and what is it used for?
An aerosol fire suppression system is an automatic extinguishing system for effective fire control in largely enclosed spaces. The HAFEX system from Yaena Solutions is suitable as a fire suppression system for electrical cabinets and switchgear, and can be used as a fire suppression system for battery containers and other enclosed technical spaces.
Which fire classes does the aerosol fire suppression system combat?
HAFEX fire suppression generators provide protection against class A, B, and C fires.
Are pipes or modifications to the cabinet required for installation?
The HAFEX system is smaller and lighter than traditional systems, making it suitable for challenging spaces. Activation is mechanical and does not require an external power supply.
For which sizes of electrical cabinets and rooms are the systems available?
HAFEX is available in various units, from the compact HFX-20, 50, 100, and 200 to the HFX-500 and the larger HFX-1100 through HFX-7600. This ensures there is a suitable unit for everything from a small electrical cabinet to a larger technical room.
How does fire detection work with the aerosol fire suppression system?
The system activates automatically via the HAFEX Thermo Bulb Activator (TBA). A precise glass thermal bulb triggers the suppression system as soon as the set temperature is reached, without the need for an external power supply. You choose the temperature based on your risk assessment: 68°C (red), 79°C (yellow), 93°C (green), or 141°C (blue).
Is the aerosol fire suppression system safe for people and equipment?
Yes. The HAFEX aerosol is safe for humans, non-toxic, and biodegradable; it does not deplete the ozone layer and does not contribute to global warming. The system leaves no residue, which keeps your equipment safe and allows you to be operational again quickly after activation. Because no water or powder is used, the system also significantly limits damage caused by heat, smoke, and water.
How is re-ignition of the fire prevented?
The aerosol interrupts the chemical reaction of the fire and disperses throughout the space. It ensures complete suppression and thereby prevents re-ignition.
What makes the aerosol fire suppression system suitable for battery containers?
For lithium-ion battery setups, reliable and autonomous fire protection is essential. In enclosed containers, high energy density, heat buildup, and the risk of thermal runaway play a major role. The HAFEX aerosol fire suppression system is designed for virtually enclosed spaces and operates without an external power supply, ensuring it responds even during a power outage. It has been used in containerized BESS projects in accordance with EN 15276 (see our case study). This makes it suitable for energy storage installations, charging infrastructure projects, and industrial applications.
Who is the manufacturer of the aerosol fire suppression systems that Yaena Solutions supplies?
Yaena Solutions supplies HAFEX aerosol fire suppression systems. HAFEX is based on patented K- and S-type aerosol technology and complies with international standards, including KIWA, IMO, and BSI. Yaena Solutions is a distributor and installer of HAFEX in the Netherlands.
How is an aerosol fire suppression system configured for my situation?
Each aerosol fire suppression system is configured based on a comprehensive risk analysis. We determine the right unit for your space and the temperature sensitivity of the thermal bulb to prevent unwanted activation from normal operating heat while ensuring the system reacts quickly in the event of a fire. Yaena Solutions has years of experience and expertise in fire prevention. You can also rely on us for installation and maintenance.
