The U.S. Coast Guard has approved a fixed aerosol fire suppression system, ideal for compartments and spaces containing lithium-ion batteries, or for areas that cannot accommodate a traditional fire suppression system such as compact engine compartments.
The Sea-Fire AT system features a patented detection mechanism that automatically discharges a highly effective aerosol agent when ambient temperatures reach fire conditions. When released, the space is filled with the aerosol that quickly suppresses the fire. The potassium-based aerosol agent does not produce harmful levels of CO, CO2 or NOx and is listed by the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) for occupied and unoccupied spaces. This eco-friendly fire suppression agent is reported to have no ozone depletion effect. The Sea-Fire AT system can also be activated manually. When AT model series are linked together (up to 4), only the manual activation mode should be used.
The fire-suppression containers are made of a double-walled stainless-steel construction that are rugged enough for nearly all applications. Virtually maintenance-free, the durable devices have a service life of 15 years. The Sea-Fire AT series fixed fire suppression system is available in six model sizes from 19.4 cubic feet to 642 cubic feet of volume protection. The system unit measures from 4.3” L x 2” W to 13” L x 5” W depending on the model. These thermally activated devices have an operating temperature range of 32 degrees to 130 degrees Fahrenheit. Manually activated units operate to minus 40 degrees Fahrenheit.
