U.S. Coast Guard studies show that approximately 90% of all Marine Fires start in the engine compartment. The same studies show that only one in ten Marine Fires is successfully extinguished with typical dry-chemical portable fire extinguishers due to the inherent difficulties of fighting a fire manually. In addition, drychemical fire extinguishers leave behind powder that can damage the engine and sensitive electronic equipment.

MOBIAK HFC System is a Safe and Effective Solution to protect Ship’s Machine Room. The system is activated Thermally (without manual intervention) at 79°C, relieving Clean Agent Gas very fast, compared to the reaction time of the crew of the ship, resulting quicker extinction and smaller losses (agent leaves no residue such as powder).

A choice of two Halon-replacement Clean Extinguishing Agents are available.

FE-241® (Chlorotetrafluoroethane) is approved for normally unoccupied spaces such as engine rooms and is approved for use in the United States HFC-227 ea Heptafluoropropane) is approved for normally occupied spaces and is approved for use in European Union nations and many other countries due to its zero-ozone depleting properties. Both FE-241® and HFC-227ea are considered suitable Halon replacement agents under the EPA’s SNAP program.
