Effective protection for maritime fire risks:
Minifog marine XP

Minifog marine XP

Minifog marine XP guarantees new dimensions in the marine segment: with the use of the new Minifog marine XP high-pressure water mist extinguishing system, the demand for lighter systems that require less space on ships is satisfied to an extremely high degree. Compared with classic sprinkler systems, Minifog marine XP requires up to 90 per cent less extinguishing water in the event of fire.

A further advance in new and unique dimensions is the surface coverage: one single Minifog marine XP sprinkler achieves coverage of up to 32 square metres in ship cabins. Coverage expansion is also increased through the six-metre sprinkler spacing in the corridors that is now possible. In total, the Minifog marine XP system requires far fewer sprinklers than other systems. Consequently, the piping network has fewer branches and fewer fittings. As a side effect, this not only means savings in system costs, but also a lower total extinguishing system weight.

Minifog marine XP not only protects a ship’s passenger, public and storage areas, but also the entire engine room. For complete engine room protection – including item and bilge protection – only one type of nozzle is required. Hence there is no danger of confusion in the nozzle installation. A foaming agent mix for the extinguishing water is unnecessary, due to the effective high-pressure water mist technology. A separate system, such as a CO2 extinguishing system for engine room protection, is not required.

The Minifog marine XP sprinklers and nozzles are made entirely of stainless steel. The sprinklers have an appealing design and are available in a range of colours.

Minimax not only produces and delivers system components for the Minifog marine XP system, but also provides highly qualified personnel specialised in ship applications to handle the full implementation of the project, including installation and commissioning.
