GA-1600 Fire Extinguisher System

DESCRIPTION

Pre-engineered total flooding fire extinguishing system for engine rooms from 45 to 85 cubic metres. The system is less expensive and easier to install than an engineered system. When any of the four sensors reach 79_C, both tanks discharge, totally flooding the enclosed area. When one extinguisher discharges, the second extinguisher discharges within a fraction of a second. HFC- 227ea fire suppressant agent, wonäó»t damage engines or equipment. Approved for normally occupied areas, world wide accepted clean agent with zero ozone depleting potential.

The System
A complete GA series system consists of twin extinguisher tanks, flex braided stainless steel hosing, twin overhead temperature sensors, fire resistant manual release cables, and an engine/equipment shut down.

Components:
äó¢ Extinguisher Cylinders: Steel cylinders, FM approved for the GA Series working pressure and powder coated red for corrosion protection. Stainless steel, extra heavy duty, vibration tested mounting brackets; three per cylinder
äó¢ Safety Lock Poppet Valve: Patent pending system that prevents accidental discharge during shipping, warehouse handling, and installation
äó¢ GA Link: Flexible braided 316 stainless steel hosing with quick disconnect couplings for easy attachment/re-attachment to the cylinder valve
äó¢ Overhead Temperature Sensors: Mounted over the engines to monitor ambient engine room temperature; trigger system discharge upon reaching 79_C
äó¢ Manual Release Cables: High temperature, fire resistant manual release cables for remote manual system discharge; install one at each helm station and one at the engine room exit
äó¢ Dual Release Adaptor: High temperature, fire resistant dual release cable kit enables two manual release cables to be connected to the manual system discharge of either cylinder
äó¢ Engine Shutdown Controls: Automatically shuts down engines, generators, blowers, etc, upon system discharge; 3 or 5 circuit shutdowns available, 12VDC or 24/32VDC.

How to Order
1. Calculate the gross engine room volume by measuring the length, width, and height
2. Use the äóÖMaximum Volume Protectedäó» column on the chart (left) to determine the cylinders required
3. Add the 227300 GA link and specify length of hoses A, B & C
4. Select the lengths of high temperature manual release cables needed by measuring from the control valve on the cylinder to the mounting point of the äóÖTäó» handle, including the bends, for both helm station and exit door
5. If two manual release cables are required to be connected to one cylinder select the 227359 dual release cable kit
6. Choose an engine shutdown based on the number of circuits that need to be shut down, 12VDC or 24/32VDC
