Description
Total Flooding, Clean Agent Fire Extinguishing Systems
U.S. Coast Guard studies show that approximately 90% of all Marine Fires start in the engine compartment. The same studies show that only one in ten Marine Fires is successfully extinguished with typical dry-chemical portable fire extinguishers due to the inherent difficulties of fighting a fire manually. In addition, drychemical fire extinguishers leave behind powder that can damage the engine and sensitive electronic equipment.
MOBIAK HFC System is a Safe and Effective Solution to protect Ship’s Machine Room. The system is activated Thermally (without manual intervention) at 79°C, relieving Clean Agent Gas very fast, compared to the reaction time of the crew of the ship, resulting quicker extinction and smaller losses (agent leaves no residue such as powder).
Clean Agents: FE241-® vs. HFC227-ea
A choice of two Halon-replacement Clean Extinguishing Agents are available.
FE-241® (Chlorotetrafluoroethane) is approved for normally unoccupied spaces such as engine rooms and is approved for use in the United States HFC-227 ea Heptafluoropropane) is approved for normally occupied spaces and is approved for use in European Union nations and many other countries due to its zero-ozone depleting properties. Both FE-241® and HFC-227ea are considered suitable Halon replacement agents under the EPA’s SNAP program.
