How It Works & System Specs

A new kind of fire suppression — combining the raw power of cryogenics with clean, controlled discharge.

How ELSA Works

  1. Charge: ELSA is pre-loaded with pressurized dry ice and liquid nitrogen for added cooling power.
  2. Deploy: Trigger discharge via manual or automatic activation; a cryogenic slurry is released at high velocity.
  3. Suppress: Fires are extinguished instantly through cooling, oxygen displacement, and ember suppression — with no residue or reignition.

Key Specs

  • System Type: Self-contained cryogenic fire unit
  • Discharge Slurry: 65% sand-sized dry ice + 35% liquid nitrogen
  • Discharge Options: Fixed nozzle, flexible hose or custom integration with existing process
  • Controls: Industrial grade touch-screen PLC control and active monitoring
  • Flow Rate: ~4 lb/sec dry ice
  • Tank Capacity: Up to 600 lbs dry ice
  • Size: 40" x 44" x 60"
  • Weight (loaded): 1,200 lbs
  • Recharge Options: On-site refill or tank swap options
  • Mounting: Floor, skid, or vehicle-compatible
