FOGTEC systems are most effective for the installation in accommodation areas on board of ships. System activation in case of fire leads to an immediate drop in temperature and protects nearby objects and people from radiant heat. An evacuation of actuated areas is possible without danger for personnel. Even hidden spaces are reached by the gas like spreading water mist. Pure water mist is no danger to people and increases surviving time of people caught in the activation area.

FOGTEC systems use only very small amounts of water, reducing water damage to a minimum. In most cases rooms can be used again shortly after the system has been turned off. System activation caused by false alarms or sabotage usually do not lead to high costs. FOGTEC systems for accommodation areas operate in a similar manner to conventional sprinkler systems. The nozzles are activated independently by means of a fast response glass bulb allowing for localised protection and immediate fire control. Pipework with diameters of 10 to 40 mm guarantee easy installation.

The pump units and pressure cylinders for the water supply require only very little space. FOGTEC high pressure water mist systems have shown their reliability in many full scale fire tests. The systems are permanently improved in co-operation with different scientific institutes and fire experts to obtain the optimum extinguishing effect. For the use of FOGTEC systems in accommodation areas on board of ships approval fire tests according to IMO A800 guideline have successfully been carried out. These tests have been witnessed by major international classification authorities, like Germanischer Lloyd, Lloyd's Register, DNV, RINA, ABS.
