Will the AGS generator work at an elevated temperature? For example, if a section of a locomotive is burning, but for whatever reason the impulse is not sent to the generator’s activation starter.
In order for the AGS generator to work, it is necessary for the temperature at the location to exceed the required limit. The auto-ignition temperature of the aerosol component is 711’C, the self-operating temperature of the activation starter, (if, for example, it is the external activation uni VEL) is not less than 250’C. Thus, even if the generator activates during a fire, this does not solve the problem of extinguishing the fire, since in the locomotive section, there is a minimum of 4 generators (different quantity of generators depending on different settings.) The activation of one or even all of the generators, at different time intervals does not allow for the necessary amount of fire-extinguishing aerosol to enter the area and to put out the fire.
