Aquasys - Water-Mist Fire-Fighting Systems

There are two main issues to consider with fire-fighting efforts for rolling stock:

• Protection of engines, motors, generators, control systems and under carriage areas
• Protection of passenger cabins

The characteristics of rolling stock make high demands on suitable and efficient emergency concepts and on the fire protection, too. Fire protection concepts need to consider the difficulty of accessing the scene of the fire in most railway cases. The required escape times for passengers and the intervention time for emergency services also need to be taken into account.

WATER-MIST SYSTEMS FOR FIRE SUPPRESSION

An active water-mist system for fire suppression, together with a suitable fire detection system, forms an ideal fire protection system, which fits into the railway operator’s entire loss prevention strategy.

Aquasys offers a turn-key solution, starting with drawing the concept together with the client through commissioning an efficient fire fighting system to training of the client’s staff. Aquasys water-mist systems can be flexibly designed to the project-specific requirements of the operator, while still taking statutory requirements into account.

NON-TOXIC FIRE EXTINGUISHERS FOR TRAINS

Due to the small water demand of water-mist systems, these systems can be easily installed undercarriage and even in the intermediate ceilings of passenger compartments. All components of the water mist system are of robust design to ensure safe and reliable operation. The systems are also protected against unauthorized manipulation.

Aquasys water-mist systems are fast and efficient in dealing with fire. Completely non-toxic and harmless, the water-mist systems provide highly reliable protection against fires on trains.

WATER-MIST SYSTEMS FOR RAIL APPLICATIONS

Water-mist systems are particularly ideal for use on rail applications. As they use a minimal amount of water, Aquasys’ water-mist systems are particularly ideal for use in confined spaces, such as train compartments.
