Fun, networking and solid business relationships are key ingredients for a successful Danfoss Fire Safety Partner Seminar The Danfoss Fire Safety Partner Seminar took place from 15 to 16 October 2019 in Poland. It was our pleasure to welcome 80 participants representing 28 Partner companies from 23 countries. At Danfoss Fire Safety, we call our distributors from the “land” market (buildings & industry) ‘Partners’. The seminar is a platform for sharing news with our Partners, getting direct feedback from them, but it is also a great way to socialize and have some fun. Day 1 took place at the Danfoss Grodzisk Mazowiecki Poland office.Adam Jedrzejczak, President of Danfoss EER Region, gave us an insight into the “muscle” power behind Danfoss. Our R&D department released a brand-new 3D Product Configurator Tool. The tool is embedded in our www.semsafe.danfoss.com homepage. It offers a simple and transparent product portfolio. The 3D models are available 24/7 with accurate dimensions and comprehensive, up-to-date technical data. With this tool, we are truly putting digitalisation at the fingertips of our Partners by giving them the possibility to configure and preview the product with a single click. Partners can use it together with their own customers, for example architects, for a full hands-on digital experience. Day 2 took place in Warsaw, where we saw the installation of the SEM-SAFE^® high-pressure water mist system in the Varso high-rise building, an iconic landmark in Warsaw, currently under construction. Once completed, Varso tower will be the tallest building in Poland and the European Union. We are extremely proud that our SEM-SAFE^® high-pressure water mist system ensures optimum fire safety of people and assets in this impressive building. For more information about Varso tower, please visit the Varso homepage. Passion for the fire safety business and the people behind it is the driver motivating us to create this kind of event. The first Partner Seminar was organised in 2010 and since then it has become an annual event, lasting 2 days. During this seminar. we get the chance to meet face-to-face with the Partners we speak to on a daily basis. This has a positive impact on our communication with Partners, creates strong business relationships and enables the exchange of information. Thank you to our Partners for participating!

July proved to be a busy, yet productive month for Danfoss Fire Safety A/S.  We are very glad to have completed another successful training seminar focused on operation and maintenance of SEM-SAFE^® high-pressure water mist systems.  Peter M. Knudsen, Market Solution Manager & Leader in our SEM-SAFE^® Academy Training Program is very satisfied with the outcome of the recent training. "We just completed a successful 2-day partner service engineer training seminar in our headquarters in Odense, Denmark. There were 8 service engineers participating from 7 of our great partners in Europe; MARANG Brandschutz & Technologie GmbH, and Multimon Industrieanlagen GmbH from Germany, Dunamenti from Hungary, Unica Fire Safety from the Netherlands, Fireworks from the UK, Automatic Fire from Ireland and GM sprinkler from Poland. We covered much of the huge “Operation & Maintenance” subject, a lot about control of the pump unit, details and function of each tiny Danfoss component, and changing of the high-pressure pumps in a unit. The immediate feedback we received from our enthusiastic, and indeed interesting, participants was overwhelming... thank you all for that!", says Peter M. Knudsen.

Technological advances in fire suppression for data centres over the last 20 years mean that gas & chemical-based solutions developments are becoming obsolete. Amongst their disadvantages are the facts that they usually involve releasing chemicals over a wide area and require ventilation systems to be shut down to remove oxygen. Electrical supply often has to be cut & clean-up operations take time. Staff safety, damage limitation & the amount of downtime are all major disadvantages with these traditional solutions. More & more data centres have therefore been turning to high-pressure water mist solutions. These systems comprise a tailor-made network of nozzles, which release micro-fine particles of water exactly at the point of the incident. While the localised fire is quickly extinguished, the remainder of the data centre’s operations and equipment remain unaffected & can be kept up & running.  The solution is completely harmless to staff and equipment & clean up is swift.  

High pressure water mist fire suppression - how it works

The key benefit of high-pressure water mist fire suppression solutions are the extremely low levels of water used. Using a high-pressure pump, clean water is forced through a specially designed, tested network of stainless steel pipework and nozzles at 60 or 100bar. The microfine water droplets emitted have sizes ranging from 50 to 200 µm. They quickly vaporise to cool and extinguish the fire, by displacing the oxygen around the fire zone. With this localised response, only the nozzle at the affected point is triggered and hardly any trace of water remains after activation. The area does not need to be sealed in the same way that a gas suppression system requires and ventilation does not need to be turned off. Energy supply and business operations can continue as usual.  

Proven experience in data centres

Danfoss is a global leader in the sale, development, production and service/commissioning of certified fixed fire fighting systems under the brand name SEM-SAFE®. Innovation is our approach. Our SEM-SAFE® system for data centres uses high-pressure water mist. We have been engineering and pioneering SEM-SAFE® fire fighting systems for decades and have successfully designed and installed systems in major data centres.  

Data Centre World London

Data centre experts meet this year at Data Centre World 2019 in London. Danfoss is participating here with Fireworks, our official business Partner for UK market. “Fireworks was the first company to install high-pressure water mist solutions for data centres in the UK” said Derek Killaspy, Managing Director of Fireworks. “Moreover, major data centres around the world have put their confidence in the Danfoss SEM-SAFE® systems that we work with. Each year on our exhibition stand with Danfoss at Data Centre World, we are continuing to see even more interest for our solutions.” For more information on the SEM-SAFE® product meet us on Stand D1166 at Data Centre World on 12th and 13th March at London's Excel.For VIP tickets please click here.
