Aircraft hangar references
Extensive testing has been carried out as part of a full-scale fire test programme undertaken by SINTEF, the Norwegian Fire Research Laboratory. Tests were carried out in their 15,000 m3 test hall using a full-scale steel replica of an F-16 fighter and an old F-104 aircraft.
These tests proved that the HI-FOG system, activated by flame detection, can provide rapid extinguishment with no damage to the aircraft. Even when activated after a deliberate manual delay, the HI-FOG system immediately suppressed the fire, with damage being restricted to the immediate fire area.
The SINTEF Report concluded that: "The effect of the floor mounted local application water mist system is in all the test scenarios similar to or better than that of a reference deluge system designed by NFPA 409 with AFFF added to the water."
Marioff has supplied various HI-FOG systems to protect F-16 fighter hangars in Norway.
