SPRINKLER HEADS
SPRAY HEADS
Spray heads are the most visible part of the HI-FOG® system, meaning
they have to be both immaculate in concept as well as appearance. Each
and every HI-FOG® spray head consists of a body, micro-nozzles and a
300 µm strainer, which is designed to prevent clogging.
The head of every sprinkler is always open and there are no fixed glass
bulbs at all. They are normally used in units where a discharge is
manually or automatically activated through an independent fire
detection system.
TUBING
VALVES
The section valve can also be used to manually close the water supply in
case of section maintenance. For routine maintenance testing, section
valves are equipped with a test connection to simulate sprinkler
activation.
Section valves are available in several sizes and can be fitted with various
types of flow indications and other.
A wide range of release and control valves are available for the activation
of gas-driven systems. Release valves open the gas source for single or
multiple discharges, while the gas cylinders can be released either
through one common manifold release valve or individual release valves.
The release method can be electric, pneumatic, hydraulic or manual.
Other Valves
Marioff also provides other valves, such as non-return valves, ball valves
and stabilization valves, as part of a system installation. The majority of
these valves are also designed and manufactured by Marioff.
PUMP UNITS
HI-FOG® pump units are a key part of system performance, as they must
deliver consistently and reliably. The pump unit type and size is selected
according to the hazard type and areas that need to be covered.
Marioff offers six basic types of HI-FOG® pump units, each with a variety
of configurations:
The HI-FOG® Electric Pump unit consists of a mechanical pump skid and
a separate control cabinet. Its unique modular structure enables flexible
installation and optimized use of footprint.
The advanced control system ensures that the pump unit provides only
the required pressure and flow. Pressure optimization is achieved with
the software control and a frequency converter. Excess water unloading
is not needed, which simplifies the mechanical design.
The HI-FOG® SPU is an electric pump unit suitable for many different
applications. HI-FOG® SPUs can be custom built in a range of different
sizes and configurations, and each unit can be designed to connect to
both main and emergency power supplies. HI-FOG® SPUs can provide
continuous operation using water tanks or an external water supply for
extended protection.
The pump units are self-supported and equipped with a break water tank
and an electric control cabinet, with an optional water separator also
available. For redundancy, an additional electric motor can be provided.
The HI-FOG® MLPU is an electric pump unit mainly intended for local
protection applications. It consists of one electric motor, which drives a
piston pump and a control cabinet.
The HI-FOG® GPU is a self-contained pump unit that does not need an
external power source for operation, and is mainly used in low hazard
areas and machinery spaces. In some applications, the gas is fed into the
system with the water supply, which enhances the atomising of the water
droplets.
ACCUMULATOR UNITS
The HI-FOG® MAU is used in conjunction with small machinery space applications, gas turbine
enclosures and similar spaces. The units are modular and self-contained with no moving
parts, meaning they can be either wall mounted or skid mounted.
The units consist of a number of water cylinders, one or more pressurised nitrogen or air
cylinders, and a release valve. The unit size varies depending on the application-specific
requirements.
The HI-FOG® KAU is similar to the HI-FOG® MAU, but is specially optimized for kitchen
applications such as deep fat fryers.
The HI-FOG® DAU works on the same principle as the HI-FOG® MAU unit. However, the
discharge is qualified as 'dry' mist because it has a lower water volume, making the HI-
FOG® DAU ideal for sub-floor spaces with high voltage or electronic equipment.
WATER SUPPLY
HI-FOG® is very flexible in terms of water supply due to the fact it uses such small amounts
of water.
The water supply for an electrical, gas-driven or diesel driven pump unit utilizes either a
mains feed or a water tank that can be dedicated to the HI-FOG® system or shared with other
systems. Typically, a feed pump is used to add pressure to the inlet water flow, which
provides the required pressure for the filter unit on the pump unit.
The water supply for HI-FOG® accumulator systems consists of water cylinders that are pre-
filled with potable water.
HOSE REELS
HI-FOG® hose reels for manual firefighting are available as an integral part of the system.
