New fire control system designed for larger spaces

摘要

Marioff has launched a new fire protection line to put out fires in large machine spaces. The HI-FOG MT3 system has passed IMO fire tests for Class 3 machinery spaces, and tested in a 3,400-cu-m enclosure to handle unlimited volumes with a ceiling height to 11 m, Marioff said. The company said the innovative application of pressure differences between nozzles ensures efficient distribution of the fog in the machinery area. While HI-FOG MT3 is not yet installed in the offshore industry, said Marioff President Petteri Saarinen, some systems are operating in marine applications. He said the system is especially suited for drillship engine rooms and other locations where the fire load contains gas or burning liquid material.
