Fogmaker
Fogmaker North America LLC
- Fogmaker is a patented fire suppression system that uses water mist as an alternative to the existing dry powder and chemical systems. Fogmaker was designed in 1995 and has been used on transit buses and other applications for the last 15 years. There are currently more than 33,000 buses that have Fogmaker installed as their fire suppression system.
- The Fogmaker system is "water-based" not powered chemical and suppression the fire almost immediately.
- Fogmaker does not have the environmental, clean-up or corrosion issues associated with the current chemical systems used today.
- A high-pressure mist is deployed in seconds by a nitrogen charged accumulator and eliminates the heat, oxygen and fuel combustion in the engine compartment when a fire is detected.
- Fogmaker can drop the temperature from 1,600F to under 200F in just a few seconds, which keeps much of the wiring, plastic, fiberglass and other components from melting or being made inoperable.
- The system requires no power and will work even if the vehicle has overturned.
