New Evacuation Chute

Receives Acclaim

Dunlop-Beaufort Canada, Ltd. (DBC), manufacturer, distributor and service facility for SOLAS and other approved Beaufort inflatable liferafts, recently announced the

North American product launch of its Marine Evacuation Chute (MEC).

The chutes have been installed on six new Canadian-built ferries, including the two new British Co- lumbia Super Ferrries. The MEC is specified on several new American vessels to be built in 1993 and 1994.

Each MEC installation weighs less than one ton and occupies six square meters of deck space. Life rafts can be stowed in racks above head height.

Marioff Offers Hi-Fog Fire

Extinguishing System

Hi-fog is an innovative fire protec- tion technology using small amounts of fresh water at high pressure. It was developed as a lightweight al- ternative to conventional sprinkler systems on passenger ships. A typi- cal Hi-fog system weight is report- edly less than 10 percent of other systems, and Hi-fog also uses only a few percent of the water to provide equivalent fire protection level. The design of the Hi-fog sprinkler heads, combined with the high pressure, ensure that the small water droplets are propelled at high speed to pen- etrate the hot flue gases and fill the entire room. Independently wit- nessed fire tests have proven the fire suppression and control capabilities of the Hi-fog sprinkler system at SP, the Swedish National Testing Insti- tute. More than 200 tests have in- cluded: cabin/corridor fire tests; simu- lated arsonist fire tests; ultra-fast response tests; ISO 6182 fire tests; cabin "flash-over" fires; cable duct fire tests; and 60-sq.-meters room and open space fire tests.
