The KJ FireOff Water Mist Systems of German company Knaack & Jahn provide lower energy consumption and reliable function in the event of a fire.
The company has become a leader in pipe and apparatus construction in Germany since 1965. Fire protection on ships, with their spec[ds_preview]ialized requirements where reliability and efficacy are concerned, is handled by their own KJ FireOff brand. Originally based in Hamburg, close to the shipbuilding industry, Knaack & Jahn sees itself as a customer-oriented problem solver. It offers tailor-made solutions for all shipboard applications. All KJ FireOff Water Mist Systems are class approved.
»From construction to handover, we cover your complete project. Aesthetical optics, maintenance-friendly systems, 40% lower energy consumption and reliable function in the event of a fire is our objective. Based on a semi-concealed design KJ FireOff is as well attractive and safe«, the company says. In accommodation, automatic water mist sprinkler nozzles KJ FireOff OHM ensure reliable and fast suppression. The small droplet size is easily vaporized by the fire. One litre of water provides 1700 litres of water vapour. This is said to remove a lot of energy from the fire and cools it down. At the same time, close to the flames, it displaces the oxygen level. »These elements and their interaction make water mist systems the number one suppression media aboard ships – worldwide«, it is added.
