GIELLE water mist is being
used for a very wide variety of fire protection applications
around the world.
Protecting People
& Vessels
Marine Applications
The most important fire protection application in the Marine
Industry is for fully approved GIELLE Sprinkler Systems to
protect the accommodation and service areas of passenger ships.
All passenger vessels must have systems installed by 2005, and
for the last few years GIELLE has been the ‘first choice’
fire protection technology for both new and existing vessels.
Some vessels have been fitted with GIELLE Machinery Space
Systems instead of gaseous protection systems. In addition
Gielle has started to supply it’s unique and cost-effective
GIELLE Local Application Systems, which IMO has made mandatory
for all passenger vessels and all new cargo vessels.
Protecting People

Computer & Telecom
Applications
Fire in a computer or telecom equipment room is very rare, but
when it does occur great costs can be incurred due to the
value of electronic data, and costs of downtime. In addition,
if a fire is not quickly suppressed the building itself may be
in danger.
Gielle has therefore developed two solutions to the problems
of fire in computer and telecom rooms. The ‘conventional’
approach using GIELLE sprinkler technology, originally
developed for the marine market, and the ‘fast detection’
approach where GIELLE is used to tackle the real danger from
the fire – smoke.
Metro & Tunnel Applications
The special risks and evacuation difficulties of urban
underground transport systems or metros, require a fire
protection system that is fast, efficient, safe for passengers,
staff and the environment, and provides few clean-up problems.
New versions of GIELLE are now providing the optimum
protection against fire risks in underground metro systems,
metro trains and systems are planned for road and rail tunnels.
Turbine & Machinery Space Applications
One of the most successful applications for water mist has
been the fire protection of gas turbine enclosures. Patented
and approved stand-alone GIELLE systems for this application
have been developed which offer significant advantages over
other water mist systems, not least of which is the continuous
mist discharge which does not damage the turbine.
In addition Gielle has developed a variety of GIELLE Machinery
Space Systems which extinguish fires, provide dramatic space
cooling, block radiant heat and provide a ‘smoke
scrubbing’ effect. Safety of personnel is not compromised
and cost for recharge of system after accidental or fire
discharge is minimal compared to gaseous systems.
