Local Water Mist System
The regulations state that in 2000DWT and above ships, Machinery Spaces of Category 'A' above 500m3 are in addition to the Fixed Fire Extinguishing System to be protected by a Fixed Wate Based Local Application Fire Fighting System.
Protected Area
• Main Engine Top
• Auxiliary Engine Top
• Boiler
• Incinerator
• Purifiers
• Inert gas generator etc
Features
• Automatically/manually activated
• Flexible fire detection solution
• Low power consumption
• Simple installation and maintenance
High Pressure CO2 System
High pressure CO2 system is widely used for total flooding or local application fire protection in marine and offshore markets.
Protected Space
• Machinery Spaces
• Cargo Holds
• Compress Room
• Galley Duct
• Paint Store
• All closed spaces etc
Features
• Safety delay release (machinery spaces)
• Effective on deep seated fires
• Low maintenance cost
• Pneumatic, Electrical & Manual Release
Fixed Water Monitor
The fixed fire-fighting monitor system is used to protect the whole deck area of a container ship bay for effective cooling to prevent the fire to spread from one container bay to another container bay or to the decks house/engine casing.
The monitors are intended for fixed installation, and designed, tested with excellent performance and reliability. The VWM-JET series monitors have manual and electric type, and are designed for an operating pressure of between 6 and 16 bar. The best throw is achieved with an inlet pressure of between 7 and 14 bar.
The monitor will be installed as part of a water fire protection system which may use one or more monitors. The system will consist of a water supply, pump, valves and control panels.
Low Expansion Foam
Protected Space
• Chemical tanker deck
• FPSO deck
• Helicopter deck
• Special areas on platform
Features
• Foam pump system
• Bladder system
• Induction system
• Monitors or DIFF system
VTI-1230
VTI-1230 systems are designed to extinguish fires involving flammable liquids, gases and in electrical equipment. System design pressure is 42 bar, VTI-1230 extinguishes fires by a combination of physical and chemical means. It does not significantly deplete the oxygen content in the room and tests have shown it to be less toxic than Halon 1301. A system comprises Nozzles, Containers, Pipe work and Zone Valve etc. VTI 1230 is liquid under pressure and is stored in containers, each of which is fitted with a valve specially designed to discharge the agent in containers rapidly. When the valve opens, the agent flows into the distribution pipe work to the discharge nozzles where it is rapidly dispersed as a vapour.
Dry Chemical Powder
The dry chemical powder system usually consists of dry chemical powder in a tank and propellant gas cylinder bank, piping or hose to carry the agent to the fire area, nozzles to assure proper now rate and direction into the area to be protected as well as manual actuating mechanisms.
The dry chemical powder system is an installed fire extinguishing system suitable for installation mandatory on LNG and LPG vessels. The system can be installed as a central system, a modular system or a combination(hybrid) system.
Features
• Easy system operation
• Fast and effective knock-down of deck fires
• All components constructed in corrosion resistant materials
• Nitrogen gas recovered from an industrial process kind to the environment
Dry chemical powder-harmless and effective
