Complete solutions tailored to the needs of the customer are WAGNER Rail's specialty. From September 18 to 21, 2018, WAGNER Rail will be presenting its latest fire protection systems for rail transport at InnoTrans, the pioneering international trade fair for transport technology in Berlin.
"WAGNER Rail is setting the pace when it comes to fire protection for rail vehicles. With our know-how from 20 years of practical experience, we adapt our technologies to future challenges and offer individual customer solutions: We flexibly place our fire protection solutions on, in or under the trains - this applies to both driver-operated and autonomous vehicles," explains Dipl.-Ing. Markus Kock, Managing Director of WAGNER Rail GmbH.
WAGNER Rail product portfolio
WAGNER Rail's portfolio ranges from fire detection using smoke detectors, smoke switches, and aspirating smoke detection systems for passenger, technical and machine areas to gas extinguishing systems with nitrogen and aerosol for technical areas and water mist systems for the passenger area.
Multisensor detects fires
WAGNER Rail is presenting multi-sensor switches with fault and alarm contacts at this year's InnoTrans
As a new product, WAGNER Rail is presenting multi-sensor switches with fault and alarm contacts at this year's InnoTrans. The special thing about the multi-sensor is that it can use two detection principles for fire detection depending on the situation. Like the optical smoke switch, the multi-sensor also detects smoke particles early on using the scattered light principle. It also reacts to temperature: if it rises, the sensitivity of the smoke detection is increased. If the temperature rises by more than 20 K within five minutes, an alarm is automatically triggered.
"Because the multi-sensor has both optical and thermal fire detection, it is particularly immune to false alarms," explains Guido Conrad, Rail Product Manager at the WAGNER Group. "Its use is always recommended where particularly high safety requirements are placed, for example in control cabinets, containers, toilets, and general passenger areas."
Aspirating smoke detectors
TITANUS MICRO∙SENS ® Rail aspirating smoke detectors are optimally tailored to the special features of the railway sector and have the relevant (also country-specific) approvals for rail transport.
The system detects smoke significantly faster than conventional point detectors by actively taking air samples from the protected area. This is a decisive advantage, especially in rail vehicles where there are strong air currents in air ducts or machine rooms.
TITANUS MICRO∙SENS ® Rail
The temperature range of the TITANUS MICRO∙SENS ® Rail extends from −40°C to +60°C
Conventional point-shaped smoke detectors cannot be used reliably here. The temperature range of the TITANUS MICRO∙SENS ® Rail extends from −40°C to +60°C. The aspirating smoke detection system from WAGNER Rail is absolutely quiet and cannot be detected even in quiet compartments. The system is protected against sabotage and vandalism thanks to the invisible aspirating openings.
Thanks to the additional PIPE·GUARD function, the aspirating smoke system is constantly checked for breakage and blockage; thanks to LOGIC·SENS, false alarms are almost impossible.
Gentle but effective firefighting in trains
Firefighting in the passenger area is carried out using a water mist system at a low hydraulic pressure level. The finest water droplets also wash the smoke gases out of the air. Thanks to the low-pressure technology, high-pressure tanks or pipes are no longer necessary. Individually adapted water tanks enable existing empty spaces to be used in a space-saving manner.
"No matter where the journey takes us - we move with the times and stand by our customers, everywhere in the world," promises Markus Kock. Find out what the solutions of the future look like at the WAGNER Rail exhibition stand in Hall 5.2, Stand 524.
