The SEM-SAFE® high-pressure water mist system from Danfoss Semco, Denmark, is a unique fire fighting system. When water is forced through nozzles, at high-pressure, an extremely fine mist is formed. When the mist comes in contact with flames, it evaporates and expands minimum 1,700 times. The dense vapour created displaces the flames and quickly extinguishes the fire.

Water is supplied via a pump unit. For every ship type, the SEMSAFE® pump unit can supply all water mist applications. This is beneficial because you only need one unit for all applications, and it is easy to add more sections and applications, if needed. In addition, servicing of only one unit is easier and less costly. Contact: Danfoss Semco A/S, Middelfartvej 9, DK-5000 Odense C, Denmark.
