TechInfo presents the fire protection system FIREKILL™

For the last thirty years, water mist fire protection has evolved from a theory to an increasingly widely accepted alternative to traditional water, foam or gas fire protection systems. Water mist offers better protection efficiency, significantly less water consumption and lower investment costs.

TechInfo, partner of the Danish company VID FIREKILL, presents the FIREKILL™ water mist fire protection system.

 

FIREKILL™ is a complete solution for design, installation, operation and maintenance of fire protection systems in all kinds of buildings, as well as industrial and infrastructural facilities. The system includes discharge nozzles, pumps, valves – all designed to function as a special fire protection system. The system operates at low pressure typically up to 8 bar, producing water mist spray through a set of nozzles specially designed and approved for various fire hazards, including standardized hazard such as LH, OH1, OH2, OH3, OH4, HHP, as well as special fire hazards in industrial applications.

The intelligent design brings a number of benefits

Based entirely on preliminary tests for various fire hazards, the system allows designers to create customized solutions that meet the specific requirements of customers and the characteristics of the protected site. The FIREKILL™ system covers almost all fire risks with the same maximum efficiency. The system provides reliable, environmentally friendly, completely safe and sustainable fire protection, which makes it the most economical and ecological solution in fire protection industry.

The individual compact design, aesthetic nozzles, functional characteristics and resource efficiency allow more freedom in design and the ability to implement modern architectural concepts. The FIREKILL™ system works cleanly and efficiently requiring minimal maintenance and technical support. The low-pressure technology allows perfect adaptation to structures with an installed sprinkler fire protection system or creation of hybrid systems.

The customers can also benefit from compact system equipment that provides small pump room sizes, small water storage tanks and small pipe sizes for easier integration into building structures and space saving.

FIREKILL™ most often operates at pressures up to 8 bar, while using as little water as high-pressure systems, usually operating at pressures above 50 bar. The low pressure guarantees high reliability and strength, as in sprinkler systems, and at the same time contributes to lower installation, operation and maintenance cost. The system uses less electricity and, due to the larger nozzle orifices, does not need filtered water to operate smoothly.

Reliability according to the highest standards

FIREKILL™ meets the European standard CEN EN 14972 as well as the main standards that currently define the requirements for water mist systems such as NFPA 750, VdS 3188 and BS 8489. Based on these standards, the system has been tested and approved for a wide range of applications. FIREKILL™ has certificates of compliance from accredited laboratories, as well as certificates of approval from third independent bodies such as FM Approvals and DNV. The system has four levels of certification. In addition to the fire tests, all components of the system have passed tests, which prove their strength and reliability. Apart from that, the production system is ISO 9001 certified and approved by FM, DNV/GL and LR. An important document that provides complete instructions for successful implementation is DIOM – the system manual for design, installation, operation and maintenance. This document is created in accordance with EN 14972 standard and approved by the independent organization FM Approvals.
