Inergen – marine fire suppression without consequential damage

If a fire occurs on a ship out to sea, help from land may be far away. Engine room fires in particular may have catastrophic consequences if they are not brought under control immediately. They can cause extensive material damage and ultimately threaten personal safety on board. For this reason, choosing a solution that minimizes the risk of fire damage is absolutely crucial.

With Inergen from Fire Eater you get a marine fire suppression system specifically designed to extinguish fire safely, rapidly and efficiently, and without consequential damage.

How Inergen works as marine fire suppression

An Inergen plant from Fire Eater must be triggered manually on a ship.

The facility uses a so-called 3D extinguishing system. This means that the air that is released under pressure is distributed everywhere in the room via nozzles – even in hard-to-reach places. This makes the extinguishing method particularly effective and suitable for protecting e.g. control room, pump room and machine.

Our plant has obtained all necessary approvals: IMO, ABS, DNV.

    Inergen er en inert gas, der er fuldstændig miljøvenlig og bæredygtig. Det er sammensat af naturligt forekommende atmosfæriske gasser, herunder 52% nitrogen, 40% argon og 8% kuldioxid.

    Inergen er helt sikkert at indånde og har et globalt opvarmningspotentiale (GWP) og ozonnedbrydningspotentiale (ODP) på nul. I modsætning til nogle brandslukningsmidler efterlader Inergen desuden ingen rester og kræver ingen oprydning efter udledning. Dette eliminerer behovet for omfattende oprydning eller dyr nedetid. Gør det til et omkostningseffektivt og fremtidssikret brandslukningssystem til datacentre.

    How it works

    How Inergen systems work in a data center

    The Inergen® fire suppression system is an automated solution designed to swiftly and effectively extinguish fires. It employs an aspiration system, which incorporates highly sensitive fire detection technology capable of identifying fires in their initial stages. Once a fire is detected, Inergen® is promptly released into the room. Reducing the oxygen level just enough to stop combustion, without posing any risk of harm to individuals present.
