E-GAS-Sys­tem

Components of The
E-Gas-System

In the world of mari­ti­me fire pro­tec­tion, the com­pon­ents of the ACS-1 sys­tem for ‘E-WATER’, ‘E-GAS’ and ‘E-CO2’ are indis­pensable buil­ding blocks for safe­ty and effi­ci­en­cy. At safe­tec, we have spe­cia­li­zed in deve­lo­ping the­se sys­tems to meet the hig­hest safe­ty requi­re­ments. Every com­po­nent, from con­trol panels to spe­cia­li­zed release panels, is careful­ly desi­gned to enable opti­mal fire­fight­ing at sea. 

Dis­co­ver the indi­vi­du­al ele­ments of our sys­tem that tog­e­ther form a strong safe­ty net for your vessels.

Control - and Indication Panels

CP-110 control panel

The CP-110 con­trol panel is a core com­po­nent of most E-WATER, E-CO2 and E-GAS sys­tems that we offer at safe­tec. It dis­plays all mes­sa­ges from the con­nec­ted sys­tem, inclu­ding fire alarms, error mes­sa­ges and sta­tus reports. The user inter­face is desi­gned in accordance with EN 54-2 for ease of understanding.

Like almost all com­pon­ents in the ACS-1 fami­ly, it com­mu­ni­ca­tes with the sys­tem via the 4-wire CAN­bus. A red­un­dant ver­si­on of the CAN­bus can also be imple­men­ted. Poten­ti­al-free cont­acts are available for com­mu­ni­ca­ti­on with the ship sys­tems, and of cour­se a con­nec­tion via RS485 or TCP-IP (Mod­bus) is also possible.

The CP-110 is the con­fi­gu­ra­ti­on mas­ter for the safe­tec sys­tems. This means that chan­ges to the con­fi­gu­ra­ti­on of a fire pro­tec­tion con­trol sys­tem are made on this panel, eit­her manu­al­ly in a dia­lo­gue or via a lap­top. Howe­ver, as the ACS-1 works with dis­tri­bu­ted intel­li­gence, the loss of the con­trol panel does not ren­der the sys­tem unusable once con­fi­gu­ra­ti­on is com­ple­te. The CP-110 can be inte­gra­ted into con­trol panels, con­so­les, modu­lar cabi­nets or wall-moun­ted enclosures.

Local release panel CP-240

The CP-240 is an intel­li­gent sin­gle sec­tion gas release panel and a key ele­ment for cen­tra­li­zed gas powered fire sup­pres­si­on sys­tems in elec­t­ro-pneu­ma­tic design. It is available in two main ver­si­ons: one for CO2 sys­tems (E-CO2) and one for non-CO2 gases (E-GAS). The only dif­fe­rence bet­ween the­se ver­si­ons is the labe­l­ing of the user interface.

Ship owners can cus­tom order their own labe­l­ing, such as ’sec­tion val­ve’, ‘direc­tion­al val­ve’, etc. The safe­ty stan­dards of the CP-240 are always high to meet the requi­re­ments of a CO2 release sys­tem. Ope­ra­ti­on is simp­le and direct, which makes it easier to make the right decis­i­on in stressful situa­tions. Pre-alarm and ESD func­tions are sepa­ra­te and logi­cal­ly lin­ked. Seve­ral CP-240s can be assi­gned to one sec­tion. A CP-110 con­trol panel is always requi­red as a ‘part­ner’ in the sys­tem. Sys­tems with CP-240 (E-CO2 and E-GAS) are wide­ly used on crui­se ships and naval vessels.

Release panel CP-30

The CP-30 release panel is the heart of cen­tra­li­zed elec­tri­cal gas release sys­tems and is spe­ci­al­ly desi­gned for motor-dri­ven sec­tion val­ves. It is available as stan­dard in the CO2 ver­si­on (E-CO2 sys­tem), but a ver­si­on for gases other than CO2 (E-GAS sys­tem) is also available. Apart from the labe­l­ing, the­re are no other dif­fe­ren­ces bet­ween the CO2 and non-CO2 versions.

Up to six sec­tions can be con­trol­led with the CP-30. Addi­tio­nal CP-30s can be added for lar­ger sys­tems. The CP-30 com­bi­nes pre-alar­m/­ti­me delay and ESD in one device. Sys­tems with CP-30 do not requi­re a CP-110 con­trol panel, making E-CO2 in this con­fi­gu­ra­ti­on a com­pact sys­tem that is par­ti­cu­lar­ly sui­ta­ble for car­go ves­sels. A com­bi­na­ti­on with the SDS-72 sam­pling smo­ke detec­tion sys­tem is recom­men­ded in this configuration.

Gas release sys­tems with CP-30 can per­form up to four dischar­ges in one sec­tion. This is made pos­si­ble by repea­ted­ly pres­sing but­ton 2, pro­vi­ded the sys­tem is pre­con­fi­gu­red accordingly.

The CP-30 is housed in a wall-moun­ted cabi­net. Its degree of pro­tec­tion is IP22, alt­hough a ver­si­on cer­ti­fied for IP55 is also available.

Release panel CP-35

The CP-35 is a release panel for decen­tra­li­zed fire­fight­ing sys­tems that use non-CO2 gases. It is part of the E-GAS ran­ge and can con­trol up to five sec­tions. If the­re are more sec­tions in your pro­ject, addi­tio­nal CP-35s can be added. In a decen­tra­li­zed release sys­tem, each sec­tion has its own sup­p­ly of extin­gu­is­hing agent. The­r­e­fo­re, releases in more than one sec­tion are possible.

Gas release sys­tems with CP-35 do not requi­re a CP-110 con­trol panel, but can be expan­ded with the local release boxes of the RP-2001 series. The CP-35 is housed in a wall-moun­ted cabi­net and has a degree of pro­tec­tion of IP22. An IP55 cer­ti­fied ver­si­on is also available.
