Key Features:
- Seawater Resistance: FFS fire monitors are manufactured using materials including Ni-Al-Bronze and stainless steel, providing high resistance to corrosion in seawater and exposed marine environments.
- Lower Fuel Consumption: Designed for low internal pressure loss, these monitors require less inlet pressure, which means lower power consumption from the main engines and reduced fuel costs.
- Low Internal Pressure Loss: The internal waterways are designed to minimise pressure loss through the monitor. Lower pressure loss reduces the inlet pressure required to achieve the specified flow and water throw, helping reduce the power demand placed on the fire pump and its driver.
- Proven Performance: FFS monitors are designed for demanding marine firefighting applications, combining robust construction, high flow capacity and precise engineering for long-term operation in harsh environments.
- Versatility: A wide range of nozzle options is available to suit different firefighting requirements, including configurations for solid-stream delivery, wide-screen patterns and long-range water throw. Pelton-type nozzle arrangements are available where extended reach is required.
- Easy Maintenance: Lightweight, removable GRP covers provide protection for operating components while allowing straightforward access for inspection and maintenance, ensuring the monitors are always ready for action.
Electric vs. Hydraulic Fi-Fi Monitors by FFS: Key Advantages
Our Fi-Fi monitors can be supplied with electric, hydraulic or manual operation depending on the vessel and firefighting system requirements.
FFS's electrically operated Fi-Fi monitors offer significant benefits over traditional hydraulic systems, enhancing reliability, ease of installation, maintenance efficiency, and environmental safety.
- Enhanced Reliability: Electric actuation removes many of the components associated with hydraulic drive systems, including hydraulic oil circuits, hoses and fittings.
- Simplified Installation: Electric monitors require electrical power and control cabling rather than a dedicated hydraulic piping system, helping simplify installation on both newbuild and retrofit projects.
- Low Maintenance: Unlike hydraulic motors that demand regular upkeep, electric motors require minimal maintenance, reducing the need for frequent servicing and complex fault diagnosis.
- No Hydraulic Leakage: Electric monitor drive systems remove the risk of hydraulic oil leakage from hoses, fittings and connections around the monitor.
- Reduced Exposure of Hydraulic Components: Hydraulic hoses installed on exposed deck areas can be subject to weather, vibration and mechanical wear. Electric actuation removes these components from the monitor drive system.
Fire Monitor Performance and System Integration
Fire monitor performance is determined by the complete external firefighting system. Pump capacity, available pressure, piping design, nozzle configuration and required water throw all need to work together to achieve the specified performance.
FFS designs and supplies complete FiFi systems, with the pumps, monitors, controls and associated equipment engineered as one integrated solution around the vessel and its firefighting requirements.
