For 50 years Gielle has provided onboard firefighting systems and now presents its new installation on the base of Novec1230 fluid firefighting system for extinguishing fires in engine rooms, pump rooms, transformer rooms and electrical rooms, for ship and offshore applications.

 

The new Gielle firefighting system can replace, without significant modifications, old systems using Halon, Halotron IIB, carbon dioxide and water mist on board ships. 

The firefighting system designed by Gielle has passed the approval tests and today holds certifications and approvals from ABS, Bureau Veritas, RINA, DNV GL, Loyd Register, etc.

 

The Gielle solution can detect the development of the fire in a few seconds, extinguish it automatically and rapidly and, as a result, limit damage to a minimum. The manufacturer said it also has a series of benefits for the environment and in other areas. Moreover Gielle system presents additional advantages, both in terms of global warming protection, including no effect on the ozone, safe for personal area, very low impact on the global warming, no residues after a fire and non-conducting material. 

 

The flexibility of the Gielle firefighting system, together with its extinguishing power, makes it possible to partly or completely reuse piping already installed in the old systems after verification with special software.
