Automatic fire suppression system stands by 24/7 in your engine room — detecting fire and reacting in seconds, whether you are on board or not.
Danger: engine room fires are one of the most common and most dangerous hazards on the water — and they're often discovered very late.
Engine rooms are always closed during the trip, it is always hard to reach the spot where the fire started and it can spread within seconds. A handheld extinguisher only helps if someone notices the danger in time, and can safely locate the spot of the fire, but on the water it is very rarely gauranted.
An automatic fire suppression system monitors the temperature, heat-activated trigger released a clean extinguishing agent the moment a dangerous temperature is detected — whether you're on the boat or not. It is a critical safety system to be installed on any vessel with inboard engines and generators.
Automatic fire extinguishing system is built to do what a person often can't: react immediately inside a space that may be impossible to reach in time.
The system self-activates once the engine room reaches a dangerous temperature — no smoke detector, external power, or person required.
A clean agent is released and sized to the volume of your engine room, suppressing the fire without soaking or damaging onboard equipment.
A paired shutdown relay can cut engine and ventilation power, reducing the danger of the fire reigniting after suppression.
Not sure whether your boat needs an automatic fire extinguishing system?
Any boat with an inboard engine or generator carries a real danger of an engine compartment fire — one of the most danger on the water.
A portable fire extinguisher is a manual safety tool- someone has to notice the danger, get closer enough to the fire and target it accurately, all within a short period of time. During a fast-spreading engine room fire it is very difficult to use a portable fire extinguisher effectively. In comparison with portable extinguisher, automatic system monitors 24/7 and responds within seconds. The safest setup is both- automatic fire extinguishing system for engine room, and portable extinguishers in hands for other fires on a vessel.
