Protection of Compartments
Sustainable Solutions for sustainable Mobility
Redundancy / multi-criteria detectors allow robustness against unintentional triggering
Individual sleeping compartments can also be activated individually to reduce recovery costs after fire suppression
FOGTEC system solutions have been integrated into passenger areas continuously for over 20 years. In many projects, approved FOGTEC water mist is used as a compensatory measure, for example, to replace fire doors at the end of each car. This not only allows for an “open gangway philosophy” for an improved security concept in the vehicle, but also enables an optimized overall weight balance for the vehicle itself. Furthermore, active intervention in the fire event prevents the effects of a normal fire progression and ensures continued travel to the nearest evacuation point.
FAQ – Fire Protection in Compartments
I retrofitting possible, e.g., in the contect of upgrading older vehicles, to avoid reclassification of materials and partitions?
Yes, the use of FOGTEC water mist systems can compensate for material and fire resistance certificates.
Can people stay in the water mist?
Yes, there is no danger to people.
Can a compartment be uniquely identified and displayed to the train crew?
Yes, it is definitely possible to localize the fire incident,
and this can be displayed on various types of displays or on the train’s HMI.Are there any differences between the use of smoke aspiration systems and point detector solutions?
Yes, point detectors have clear advantages in terms of availability, LCC, and the possibility of localization, while smoke extraction systems are particularly impressive when it comes to supporting design aspects.
