Experts in fire protection
There are countless offshore applications, but they all have one thing in common: Operations on an offshore platform leave no room for half-measures. There’s no emergency service that can arrive in ten minutes, no repair shop next door, and no second chance in the event of a system failure. Safety, round-the-clock availability, redundant design as well as remote control and diagnostics are therefore essential requirements. Minimax develops tailor-made solutions for every type of platform – from the initial risk analysis to ongoing maintenance, no matter how demanding the requirements.
We support offshore projects from the initial concept through to maintenance – all from a single source:
Transformers make sure that electricity is ready for network distribution. They function as links between the turbine, the turbine generators and the network. They consist typically of the transformer housing with a cooler, oil conservators and oil-filled insulators.
As soon as overheating is detected, the transformer is automatically shut down to prevent a fire from breaking out. The basis for the fire protection is a Buchholz relay. This relay ensures prompt identification of cooling required for components at risk of overheating. The TrafoProtect solution developed by Minimax based on the latest research results, protection aims and testing schemes completes the concept. The special UL-approved nozzles, Viking Model A and Model C-1, achieve an even and consistent distribution of water when activated. In doing so, the system successfully meets the protection aims of "control" and "suppression". At the same time, the consumption of water can be reduced to a level significantly below that of conventional deluge systems. A fire detection system will trigger the extinguishing system.
