Objective
The proposed technology development targets more than 750,000 EU SME????"s that are active in high tech industries as well as hotels, public institutions and private homes that are in need of a low cost, light weight application tailored fire suppression system for the protection of both personnel and high value assets such as computers, servers and other business critical equipment. This will provide the more than 750,000 high tech SME with an alternative technology to cost effectively and safely protect their workers and their valuable assets from fire.
To achieve this we will need to develop: A new combination of composite and thermoplastic materials. A new manufacturing process that enable the pulltrusion of a thermoplastic pipe that can be further processed into a high pressure gas storage cylinder capable of withstanding pressures of 300 bar through braiding, extrusion and blow moulding techniques. The incorporation of new barrier/lightweight composite technologies into the design to render the cylinder impermeable to gas. A new software modelling tool to predict the braiding angle structure very precisely...
