Boats, yachts, and other marine vessels combine combustible materials, enclosed spaces, and fuel systems, creating a high fire risk. Fires at sea are especially dangerous due to limited access to emergency services, making effective onboard fire suppression systems vital. Protecting engines, electrical systems, and galley areas is crucial to ensure safety and prevent catastrophic incidents.
Causes of Risks and Hazards
Diesel or gasoline leaks in engine compartments can ignite quickly, especially in confined spaces.
Wiring failures, battery issues, or overloaded circuits can cause sparks and fires.
Kitchens onboard vessels often use open flames or electrical appliances, increasing fire risks.
Marine engines, operating in compact compartments, are prone to overheating, leading to ignition
Upholstery, wood paneling, and fuel fumes create a flammable environment that can escalate a small fire.
Confined Spaces
Boats and yachts have tight engine compartments and living spaces, limiting access for manual fire suppression.
Remote Locations
Fires often occur far from emergency services, requiring reliable onboard fire suppression systems.
Electrical Risks
Suppression agents must be non-conductive to ensure electrical systems are not compromised.
Engine Accessibility
Engines and fuel systems are often hard to access, complicating traditional fire suppression efforts.
Multi-Hazard Environments
Fires can involve electrical, liquid fuel, and solid combustibles simultaneously, requiring versatile suppression agents.
Direct Flame Activation
The ELIDE FIRE® Ball activates upon direct contact with flames. The heat activation cord releases the extinguishing agent, ensuring rapid and reliable suppression.
Compact and Lightweight
Perfect for installation in tight spaces such as engine rooms, electrical panels, or galley areas.
Non-Conductive Agent
Ensures safety in electrical fires, ideal for marine vessels equipped with extensive wiring.
Versatile for Multi-Class Fires
Effectively handles electrical (Class C), flammable liquid (Class B), and combustible material (Class A) fires.
Low Maintenance
Requires no power source or regular servicing, making it an ideal solution for vessels with limited resources.
