Automatic or Manual Override Discharge : The system automatically activates at 175°F (79°C), discharging a clean agent to flood and smother the fire. Clean Agent (HFC-227ea) : The clean, heptafluoropropane (HFC-227ea) agent is safe for occupied spaces and leaves no residue, meaning no cleanup is required. This agent, also marketed as FM-200® or FE-227T, is widely approved for use in marine environments, including Europe. Total Flooding of Engine Rooms (Up to 1500 Cubic Feet) : This system is capable of completely flooding engine rooms with the clean agent to quickly suppress any fire, with coverage for engine compartments up to 1500 cubic feet. Installation Flexibility : The system can be mounted in vertical, upward angled, or horizontal positions, offering flexibility in installation.
Each kit includes stainless steel mounting brackets, a helm station status indicator light, and the owner's manual/installation instructions. Factory Refillable : The system is refillable after use, except in the case of discharge from a fire, making it an economical and sustainable choice for long-term protection.
EN ISO 9094-1 and EN ISO 9094-2 standards by Bureau Veritas, RINA, and Factory Mutual. Safety Warning : For compartments containing diesel engines, it is required to install an Automatic Engine Shut-Down System to ensure proper function.
USCG regulations also necessitate the installation of a system status panel at each helm station and, for inspected vessels, a manual discharge cable at the helm. When the system detects a temperature of 175°F (79°C), the automatic activation process begins. The HFC-227ea clean agent is released to flood the engine room, effectively smothering the fire without causing any water or powder residue. This process is fully automatic, but can also be manually activated with an optional manual discharge cable.In case of a blockage or failure to replace the treatment element, the system features an automatic bypass system to ensure that fire suppression remains active, even if the primary suppression agent cannot be delivered. Engine Compartment Volume : When calculating the volume of the engine compartment for selecting the correct system size, use the maximum compartment dimensions and do not deduct for fixed items like engines or tanks. In doubt, always select the larger system size for adequate protection. One Extinguisher Per Compartment : It is recommended to use only one extinguisher per engine compartment to ensure optimal coverage and compliance with safety standards.
