The FIFI4MARINE M-SKID is a standalone, PLC-controlled 24/7 detection and activation CAFS fire suppression system that can be used where a fire load or exposure to high temperatures needs to be controlled, originating from inside the battery system or from outside the battery system as an external fire load.

In case of an event, the foam injection system is automatically activated by remote signals coming from gas and fire detection sensors or from the battery management system.

Using compressed air, the Bio4C premix is transformed into a unique Hybrid and Durable firefighting foam.

The produced foam is applied through pipes and channels into selected battery systems, creating an immediate cooling effect. Greatly reduces temperatures to safety levels and prevents spread to surrounding modules.

To prevent fifi foam injection in all battery arrays, a unique automated zone selection electrical valve manifold is used to select and inject only the battery arrays in which gas or excessive temperature is detected. All other battery arrays in the battery room that are in a safe situation are not injected and remain fully operational for 100% manoeuvrability and ship safety.

The system can be configured to inject foam into individual modules, complete racks or complete strings. The most cost-effective system architecture is to design the system to electrically disconnect each string and fill that particular string with foam, leaving all unaffected strings in operation.
