Did you know
- Kidde's heritage in CO2 fire suppression dates back to 1918 when Walter Kidde developed the first integrated smoke detection and carbon dioxide extinguishing system for U.S. Navy ships. The company later pioneered the 'LUX' siphon tube technology for CO2 cylinders, which is still in use today.
- The Kidde Marine ECS (Engineered Clean Agent Suppression) system is positioned as a versatile fire suppression option for small, medium, and large marine applications. It is a mid-tier solution compared to the more advanced Kidde ADS (Advanced Delivery System) Clean Agent Suppression Systems, which are designed for larger shipboard enclosures requiring longer agent flow distances.
- The Kidde Marine ECS CO2 Fixed FF System is chosen for its rapid fire suppression capabilities, achieved through cooling and oxygen displacement, and its electrical non-conductive properties, making it safe for machinery and electrical areas. It is also an economical choice for installation and recharging, with CO2 being readily available.
