Fire extinction with AFFF water mist for all engine rooms and
enclosed spaces.
Patented high-pressure technology.
Fogmaker is market leader in Europe, and have delivered around
35,000 extinguishing systems since 1995.
Firestorm have installed 600 systems this year.
FIRE – a chain reaction
A fire always consists of these three components. Taking
away one of the components will often kill the fire.
The patented Fogmaker extinguisher with 100 bar water
mist attacks all three corners of the fire- triangle at the
same time.
HEAT – Removed by steam
OXYGEN – Smothered by steam
FUEL - Covered by AFFF agent
This significantly reduces the risk of re-ignition of the fire.
Fire extinguisher with water mist for all engine rooms and enclosed spaces
Patented construction – “piston accumulator”
Cooling and smothering water with AFFF
Antifreeze extinguishing agent (-35 C)
Harmless to people, engines and equipment
Minimum requirements for cleaning-up after a fire
Anodised, high pressure containers, corrosion
protected for even the toughest environments.
Mechanical, manual and automatic actuation
•The Fogmaker Universal is available in a single and a
double connected extinguisher.
•Due to the patented construction the extinguisher can
always be fully emptied. This is regardless of the
assembly angle or the position upon actuation.
•The extinguisher can be placed horizontally or
vertically in order to save space.
•This is also a crucial security factor when the
extinguisher is installed in vehicles which are exposed
to the risk of roll-over. As you know, traditional
extinguishers should stand up when being actuated.
Fogmaker Universal 3,3 – 15 liters
The piping system is built with 8 mm
piping and a ¼” hydraulic hose. Low
pressure systems demand bigger piping,
with more and different types of nozzles
and require a direct hit on the fire.
Special patented nozzle
Water mist is 2-3 times more effective than
powder and gas compared by weight.
High pressure water mist at 100 bar and the special
nozzles, atomising the water into micro drops, the
average size is 50 µm.
The volume of 1 drop with the diameter of 1mm is
enough for 8000 drops of water-mist.
1 litre of water absorbs 540 000 calories during the
evaporation which gives the extinguishing a unique
effect.
The effective cooling contributes to a rapid extinguishing
and reduces the risk of reigniting.

test conducted by SP technical research institute of
Sweden.
Outstanding Cooling Effect, -500 C in less than 3 seconds.
Detection and activation takes place hydro-pneumatically. A pressurised detector
tube burst in case of fire. The drop in pressure activates the valve on the
extinguisher.
The pressure indicator located on the detector cylinder will give an alarm to the
operator to indicate deployment. The system operates independently of power
supply.
