2 MARITIME FIRE SUPPRESSION In the maritime world space is a luxury. That is why it is important getting maximum effect from your fire suppression with a space and power-efficient system. We provide solutions optimised for all kinds of vessels from tankers to yachts. All the fire safety you need from one supplier Integration of all the fire-safety equipment ensures that the correct response is made automatically; the integration of fire detection and suppression is a logical step. It can be difficult to get equipment made by two different suppliers to work together in a satisfactory way, and costs and installation time increase accordingly. That is why we offers the total safety solution for maritime applications. Autronica Fire and Security the natural choice for your fire suppression needs.

3 LOW-PRESSURE WATER MIST The future of water suppression Low-pressure water mist is the logical successor to sprinkler or high-pressure water mist systems. It requires a minimum of power and water, it offers ease of installation, and it benefits from the use of standard components. The feature of FlexiFOG water mist system is the advanced technology producing a mixture of small droplets in combination with mist, when activated. This ensures a quicker and more reliable suppression of fires in accommodation areas than any other system can offer. FlexiFOG water mist fire suppression system can protect accommodation, service areas and machinery spaces (total flooding and local protection) with one single pump package. FlexiFOG water mist systems are cost effective both when it comes to purchase and installation. Compared to traditional sprinkler systems, FlexiFOG offers significant advantages, for instance: v v Low water consumption v v Low piping weight, PN10 and PN16 v v Reduced risk of clogging The logical successor to sprinkler or high-pressure water mist systems v v Low power consumption v v Higher reliability Low profile flush mounting and colour adaptation to surroundings (for accommodation spaces only) FlexiFOG water mist systems are type approved by all major classification societies and hold wheel mark certificates, and can be supplied in compliance with Safe Return to Port requirements. Critical design parameters Weight and power consumption are always critical design parameters, and has been one of the key parameters when developing the nozzles. The design on a medium sized ferry with approximately 1500 nozzles, enables a weight reduction of approx. 2 tons and the required power output is reduced with approximately 30 kw. This means that the emergency generator can be smaller, reducing cost and fuel consumption. 4 5

4 DRENCHER SYSTEMS From car decks to helidecks Autronica drencher systems are reliable, simple and effective fire suppression systems offering significant advantages: Quick fire suppression Sea water can be used, even with water mist nozzles Prevent fires from spreading over a large area by means of water curtains Cool down protected equipment Simple and reliable operation High flexibility in design and installation Autronica drencher systems are used to protect different areas onboard, both inside and outside. For instance: Cargo tank decks onboard chemical/oil tankers LFL and seismic vessels Car-decks (open or closed) Helidecks, helicopter landing areas and garages Bow and stern loading areas. LNG and other fuel tanks Discharging devices Autronica can deliver a broad range of discharging devices to meet the requirements set by applicable regulations and to satisfy the needs of each specific vessel. In particular for car decks, we can offer a water mist nozzle approved with use of sea water: this is a unique product providing huge benefits to our customers: Highly reduced water consumption (around 1/3 compared to traditional water spray nozzles) Smaller drainage pumps No need for dedicated water pumps No need for fresh water tank Other discharging devices include: Jet/fog nozzles, manually and remotely operated monitors, water spray nozzles, branch-pipes, pop-up nozzles, hose reels, and foam/water guns. All foam discharging devices have been tested according to the relevant regulations and fulfill IMO requirements. Depending on the application, low expansion foam in different mixing concentration can be added to the water. All the foams concentrates are approved by all the major classifications societies and fulfill IMO requirements. 6 7
