Australian company to provide the lead-time composite fire prevention structure
According to China's national defense science and technology information network, Australia joined the company recently won a contract to supply system, for aosta American firms to build five lead-time (JHSV) provide the ship fire prevention structure (SFP). Previously, once joined the company for the first three lead-time to supply such equipment, the bid that joined the company's advanced fire prevention structure is gaining recognition of the ship.
Joined the company's advanced ship fire prevention structure widely used a new type of Composite material, Rapid prototyping composites (Rapid Access Composite, RAC). This kind of composite materials with light weight, easy installation, good fireproof performance, etc. RAC material is 70% lighter than conventional metal package material, laying of every square metre 5 kg of this material has very good effect on fire.
RAC fire prevention system of weight loss may help reduce fuel consumption, considerable also reduced emissions of carbon dioxide at the same time, increase the effective load carrying capacity, saving the cost of ships and the whole lifetime guarantee.
In December 2013, joined system company will be delivered to the fourth joint high speed vessel rapid prototyping composites fire prevention system, and 8 (the last ship under this contract) lead-time of ship fire prevention structure will be delivered in 2015. (Ding Hong)
