Overview of Fireboy-Xintex Marine Safety Technologies
Fireboy-Xintex is recognized across the marine industry for advanced fire suppression, carbon monoxide detection, and gasoline vapor monitoring. Fisheries Supply supplies a broad portfolio of these solutions for recreational and commercial boats seeking dependable, standards-aligned safety equipment.
Fire Suppression Systems
The Fireboy MA2 Series manual/automatic clean-agent extinguishers are engineered for enclosed marine spaces. Each unit activates automatically when the protected compartment reaches a critical temperature of 175°F (79°C). Upon activation, the system rapidly discharges its suppression agent to extinguish the fire within seconds.
Additional Fire Suppression Options- Fireboy CG Series automatic discharge systems.
- Pre-engineered and custom-engineered configurations.
- Thermal-triggered automatic activation at 175°F.
Advanced Gas Detection & Fire Sensing
Early hazard identification is critical in marine environments. Fisheries Supply carries multiple gas detection and sensing models, including carbon monoxide alarms, optical smoke detectors, thermal heat detectors, and gasoline vapor detection systems.
Carbon Monoxide, Smoke & Heat Detection: The CMD5 and CMD6 series provide marine-grade carbon monoxide (CO) monitoring for cabins and living spaces, while OMSD optical smoke detectors and OMHD thermal heat detectors provide early warning for active fires in accommodations and engine spaces.Gasoline Fume Detection: Gasoline vapor accumulation in bilges and engine spaces creates significant fire and explosion risks. Fisheries Supply offers the R/SBH gasoline fume detector and other Fireboy-Xintex models designed to alert operators before vapor concentrations reach dangerous thresholds.
Engine Shutdown Integration
Fireboy-Xintex’s engine shutdown systems provide added protection by automatically stopping engine operation, generators, and blowers when a fire suppression system activates. On diesel-powered vessels, immediate shutdown is required to prevent engine intake from exhausting the clean suppression agent from the protected compartment.
- Integrated with Fireboy automatic extinguishers.
- Engine, generator, and blower deactivation triggered during fire suppression discharge.
Frequently Asked Questions
When do Fireboy MA2 Series extinguishers activate?
These systems are meticulously engineered to activate automatically when temperatures in the protected area reach a critical level of 175°F (79°C).
What types of gas detection and fire sensing equipment are available?
Fisheries Supply offers CMD5 and CMD6 models for cabin carbon monoxide protection, OMSD smoke and OMHD thermal heat detectors for fire sensing, and Xintex fume detection systems designed to detect and alert against flammable gasoline vapors.
What does the engine shutdown system do during a fire?
This system is designed to halt engine and blower operation in the event of a fire suppression discharge, preventing the engines from drawing away the suppression agent and starving the compartment.
