YAF Aerosol Fire-Extinguishing Systems

YAF aerosol fire-extinguishing (AF) systems specialized mainly in developing, manufacturing and designing of ship aerosol fire- extinguishing systems.

The principle of AF System operation is based on inhibition process of chemical reactions originating in the flame by fine-dispersed particles of fire extinguishing aerosol. Fine-dispersed particles of fire-extinguishing aerosol formed during the generator operation fills in the protected space and inhibit chemical reactions originating in the flame. Fire-extinguishing aerosol remains in the air for 30-50 minutes after the generator stops discharge, keeping a fire-extinguishing concentration that excludes a possibility of re-ignition.

The advantages of AF Systems:

Cost Effective
The chepest one among fire-extinguishing systems.

Doesn’t require a separate space
Aerosol generators are placed in a protected space.

Safe for the Crew
Non-toxic
In case members of the Crew are in the protected space at the moment of actuation, they are able to leave it.

Environmentally friendly
Ozone friendly;
Doesn’t contribute to global warming.

Equipment friendly
Doesn’t cause corrosion
Can be used in extinguishing of fires of energized equipment and electric wires under the voltage of up to 40 kV.

Easy to operate
No need to maintain;
Annual checks may be carried out by the crew.

No pipes or high-pressure equipment
Fire-extinguishing agents are in solid state in aerosol generators.

Light weight and compact
AF systems are the smallest and the lightest of fire extinguishing systems;
Easy to install;
The whole process of installation includes only laying of cable.
