GIELLE water mist is being used for
a very wide variety of fire protection applications around the
world.
Protecting
People & Vessels
Marine Applications
The most important fire protection application in the Marine
Industry is for fully approved GIELLE Sprinkler Systems to
protect the accommodation and service areas of passenger
ships. All passenger vessels must have systems installed by
2005, and for the last few years GIELLE has been the
‘first choice’ fire protection technology for both new
and existing vessels.
Some vessels have been fitted with GIELLE Machinery Space
Systems instead of gaseous protection systems. In addition
Gielle has started to supply it’s unique and
cost-effective GIELLE Local Application Systems, which IMO
has made mandatory for all passenger vessels and all new
cargo vessels.
Protecting
People & Property
Computer & Telecom
Applications
Fire in a computer or telecom equipment room is very rare,
but when it does occur great costs can be incurred due to
the value of electronic data, and costs of downtime. In
addition, if a fire is not quickly suppressed the building
itself may be in danger.
Gielle has therefore developed two solutions to the problems
of fire in computer and telecom rooms. The
‘conventional’ approach using GIELLE sprinkler
technology, originally developed for the marine market, and
the ‘fast detection’ approach where GIELLE is used to
tackle the real danger from the fire – smoke.
Metro & Tunnel Applications
The special risks and evacuation difficulties of urban
underground transport systems or metros, require a fire
protection system that is fast, efficient, safe for
passengers, staff and the environment, and provides few
clean-up problems. New versions of GIELLE are now providing
the optimum protection against fire risks in underground
metro systems, metro trains and systems are planned for road
and rail tunnels.
Turbine & Machinery Space Applications
One of the most successful applications for water mist has
been the fire protection of gas turbine enclosures. Patented
and approved stand-alone GIELLE systems for this application
have been developed which offer significant advantages over
other water mist systems, not least of which is the
continuous mist discharge which does not damage the turbine.
In addition Gielle has developed a variety of GIELLE
Machinery Space Systems which extinguish fires, provide
dramatic space cooling, block radiant heat and provide a
‘smoke scrubbing’ effect. Safety of personnel is not
compromised and cost for recharge of system after accidental
or fire discharge is minimal compared to gaseous systems.
