Fire Detection & Suppression Systems

Product Description

These systems are designed to detect fire at the earliest stage and automatically extinguish it.

• Fire Alarm Control Panel: The central brain of the fire safety system. It receives signals from detectors, triggers alarms, and initiates the suppression sequence.
• Fire Detectors (Automated Sensors):
  • Smoke Detectors: Point-type optical or ionization detectors for enclosed spaces like accommodation and engine rooms.
  • Flame Detectors: Infrared (IR) or Ultraviolet (UV) sensors that detect the specific light signature of a flame, ideal for high-risk areas like pump rooms or helicopter decks.
  • Heat Detectors: Fixed-temperature or rate-of-rise detectors for areas where smoke detectors might cause false alarms (e.g., galleys, laundries).
  • Linear Heat Detectors: A cable-like sensor that detects heat over a long distance, used in tunnels, conveyors, and belt loaders.
• Automatic Fire Suppression Systems:
  • CO2 Systems: Cylinders of carbon dioxide connected to a network of pipes and nozzles. Upon activation, the system releases CO2 to displace oxygen, smothering the fire. Crucial for engine rooms and cargo holds.
  • Water Mist/Fog Systems: High-pressure pumps force water through specialized nozzles to create a fine mist. This cooling and oxygen-displacing effect is highly effective and uses less water than traditional sprinklers.
  • Foam Systems: Used to combat flammable liquid fires (Class B). The system automatically mixes foam concentrate with water to create a blanket that smothers the fire.
• Associated Automation Products:
  • Fire Dampers: Automated valves in ventilation ducts that automatically close to prevent the spread of smoke and fire.
  • Automatic Fire Door Release Mechanisms: Devices that hold fire doors open but release them automatically upon a fire alarm, allowing them to close and contain the fire.
