Efficent Fire Protection for Diesel Locomotives
Sustainable Solutions for Sustainable Mobility
When assessing the risk of diesel locomotives, the focus is primarily on the engine, and in diesel-electric locomotives, the generator. The specific requirements prevailing in these areas must be considered separately and also limit the choice of firefighting media for an optimal solution. FOGTEC systems are particularly effective in diesel locomotives around the world due to the extremely good cooling performance of the well-known FOGTEC water mist.
FAQ – Fire Protection in Diesel
1. Which standards and regulations does the system comply with?
Our systems comply with the requirements of EN 45545 as well as TSI LOC&PAS.
2. What happens if part of the system fails?
Thanks to the redundant design, the system remains fully operational and ensures maximum safety.
3. Can existing locomotives be retrofitted with the system?
Yes. Our systems can be easily retrofitted into existing vehicles and adapted to the available installation space.
4. Is water mist suitable for diesel engines and their components?
Yes. The system is designed to prevent fire spread without damaging the surrounding equipment.
