Marine Automatic Fire Suppression Systems For Engine Compartments Boat Fires

The automatic fire suppression systems is widely used in boat fires.In terms of the nature of use, ships can be divided into passenger ships, oil ships, bulk chemical ships, cargo ships and container ships. However, no matter what kind of ships they are, they all have many similar places, and all kinds of ships have many similar fire hazards and similar key parts prone to fire.For example: cabin, staff lounge, kitchen, etc.

Characteristics of boat fires

• 1. Complex structure and narrow space. Ships are the most important means of transportation on the water. The crew lives and works on the ship, and there are various cabins and machinery and equipment. However, due to space limitations, the ship structure design is generally compact and complex.On the ship, there are many compartments for different purposes and many ventilated air canisters and staircases. The passageway and stairway in the cabin are narrow and there are fewer evacuation passageways.In case of fire, the mixture of oil and gas is easy to explode in the limited internal space, especially the large number of passengers on the passenger ship and the rapid spread of smoke and fire. In case of fire, passengers are easy to panic and it is more difficult to evacuate.
• 2. High thermal conductivity, difficult to saveMany of modern ship hull structure steel manufacturing, heat conduction performance is strong, usually within 3 min ~ 5 min after a fire, the temperature can rise 500 ℃ ~ 900 ℃, the steel plate was rapidly heated and become material of high temperature, easy ignition and adjacent near the hull flammable substances, thereby expanding the fire.
• 3. The ship has many combustibles and fast spreading speedThe bulkhead inside shipping cabin, lining board, ceiling, although already made strict regulation and limitation from structural fire prevention, but the place that USES the combustible material such as plywood, polyvinyl chloride board, still is not little.The furniture inside cabin, carpet, curtain cloth also is combustible material to make more, especially the cabin of passenger ship, the proportion such as combustible adornment material, furniture and bedding is bigger, fire danger is quite big.In the event of fire in the engine room, building, etc., the fire will spread quickly along machinery, cables and oil pipelines.On the other hand, most ships have a large amount of fuel oil stored as power fuel, including gasoline, diesel, heavy oil, etc., which can easily cause an explosion after a fire.
• 4. Limited traffic conditions make disposal difficultFire on a ship may occur during navigation, when anchoring, or when in port.If a fire breaks out during the voyage, external rescue forces will not be able to arrive in time due to the long distance between them.However, when the ship is docked on the shore, limited by the ship's draught and wharf conditions, external rescue forces cannot easily approach the fire fighting, which will also affect the speed of fire fighting and rescue.Therefore, ship fire should mainly rely on the ship itself to rescue.

Since years before, Fireless has got certification of type approval for marine product from register of fishing vessel of the people's republic of china. This marine automatic fire suppression systems for engine compartments boat fires is the best solution for all kinds of boat fires. And for military, Firless is used on Chinese aircraft Liaoning for marine fire protection.
