The company started at the beginning of the 19th century with the production of bronze nozzles and pumps. After the Second World War the company began specialising in rescue and fire fighting vehicles for airports and industrial installations. Since then the company has earned worldwide renown for the efficiency and reliability of their airport crashtenders. A great variety of Kronenburg M.A.C.’s (Major Airport Crash trucks) is currently being used in many countries to provide rapid response in case of disaster. During the last half century M.A.C. fire fighting trucks have gained a solid reputation for being reliable, durable and versatile. Efficient performance in the field is the number one priority in the design process.   Other systems are currently being developed such as a pilot rescue platform and a decontamination system.’ For that reason Kronenburg aims to gather as much practical knowledge and information as possible from the experiences of the firefighters who work with their trucks on a daily basis. Because of the diverse nature of their customer base Kronenburg has developed a flexible production process which allows them to build fire fighting vehicles according to the specific demands of each end user. Recently, the company has moved all production to a new, state-of-the-art facility. This enables Kronenburg to continue with the development of their products and to keep innovating as they have been doing for more than a century. The first results of these changes can be seen at the international Interschutz convention in Leipzig, Germany. The latest model in the successful M.A.C. line of airport fire fighting trucks will be presented there. The new M.A.C. Several different versions of the new Kronenburg M.A.C. will be taken into production. Depending on the preferences of the clients the model can be based on a 4×4, 6×6 or 8×8 chassis. The GRP superstructure and cabin are fully customisable and a wide variety of fire fighting systems is available. For example water, foam, Dry Chemical Powder systems, CO2, Ultra High Pressure systems. And that is just a small selection of the available options. Other systems are currently being developed such as a pilot rescue platform and a decontamination system. Special attention was given to the design of the crew cab with regards to fast accessibility, the safety of the crew and storage room for the equipment. The self supporting body and cabin are made out of GRP (Glass fibre Reinforced Polyester). A composite material that is not only fire resistant and corrosion proof. It also weighs less than any conventional material which results in improved acceleration and maneuverability for the vehicle. And the shock absorbing nature of the highly durable material provides a safety buffer for the crew in case of any collisions. Any damage to the bodywork is easily repaired and these repairs can be done locally at relatively low costs. All cabins and superstructures have been tested and approved by official institutions and are ISO9001 approved. ‘besides their successful airport crashtenders Kronenburg is also known for being one of the leading manufacturers of mobile fire fighting equipment…’   Repair and Refurbishment In general, all Kronenburg vehicles are specifically designed to allow easy access to major components such as engines, drivelines, pumps and proportioning systems. Kronenburg also provides a Product Support Service which includes a team of engineers that stands by to fly anywhere in the world to assist the end user in case any repairs or upgrades need to be performed. Besides designing and producing new trucks Kronenburg also has a Refurbishment Program which provides midlife updates for all Kronenburg vehicles. This program has been successfully executed for several air forces and civilian airports. Trucks that have been in active service for a while are rebuild and upgraded at the Kronenburg facilities and are returned to the customer in a state that assures another 15 years of operation. For 40-60% of the costs that would be made buying a new truck the used vehicle can be completely refurbished and updated. Future Developments The company’s sales strategy is aimed at several different markets. Besides their successful airport crashtenders Kronenburg is also known for being one of the leading manufacturers of mobile fire fighting equipment for petro and chemical industries. The company offers a complete range of specialised vehicles that provide an efficient protection at industrial installations all over the world. Many Kronenburg vehicles have been adapted to the specific practices and standards of multinational oil companies and contractors. Kronenburg has also developed and produced a wide range of municipal and urban fire trucks in various sizes and configurations which are currently in active use. Fire brigades around the globe use these reliable and durable vehicles to rapidly respond to incidents in small communities as well as in the world’s largest cities. To keep up with the growing international demand for Kronenburg products the company is expanding its activities. Branches in the US and the UK are being established in order to provide better and faster service to the local markets. Kronenburg can look back on a rich history in which the company plays a leading role in the world of fire fighting and judging by the recent developments it will continue to do so for a long time

Model number: RIV-601/F Make: Control Logic S.r.l.. Weblink: http://www.controllogic.it Specification Attachment: Teaser: IR flame detector model watertight enclosure The IR flame detector model RIV-601/F is an electronic optical fire detector device that responds immediately to the thermal infrared radiation emitted by fire, and is tuned to the pulse frequency of the flame to ignore sun, lamps and other light and infrared radiation sources. WHY IR (infrared) FLAME DETECTOR Eye is faster than nose. In the event of live fire the IR flame detector responds immediately. Its behaviour is similar to that of the eye. In fact it "sees" the radiation emitted by fire, and its sensitivity is inside a cone of 90° which is called the field of view. The minimum flame size that can be detected by the RIV-601/F varies with the distance. It doubles at double distance and is half at half distance. The sensitivity value is 2-3% of the distance. For example, at 10 m the smallest detectable flame size is 20-30 cm.   Cast aluminium watertight case, IP 66 grade protection (dust and water spray). Explosion-proof available with the model RIV-601/FA. Power voltage 24VDC +/-15% (20 to 28 V). Current consumption 13 mA in stand-by (0.25W), 50 mA in alarm state (max 1.5W including 20 mA for test). Anti-inversion diode on +24V and + Test (T+). Spectral response infrared 1 to 3 micron. Tuned to flame pulsing frequency (flickering) of 5 to 20 Hz. Field of view 90° cone. The detector can see outside the field of view or indirectly by reflection, or even through smoke, with a reduced sensitivity. Sensitivity 2-3% of the distance, which means that the smallest detectable flame size is 2-3% of the distance. For example, at 10 m the smallest flame size is 20 cm. Typical covering figure is 400 square meters at 20 m distance. Alarm delay time set to 5 sec. Adjustable from 1 to 10 sec. Reset is automatic. The detector turns on 5 seconds after the flame is started. As soon as the flame stops, the detector returns off. Front LED lamp lights in alarm. It blinks shortly during the teletest. Output on changeover SPDT relay contact rated 1A 30VDC. Other output on NPN transistor open collector rated 50mA 24VDC, which goes low in alarm. Built-in "Teletest" device for the remote monitoring of the detector ability. Needs a 24VDC +/-15% 20mA.Built-in modulator. When the teletest circuit is powered, a small incandescent bulb placed near the sensor starts pulsing so as to simulate a flame. During the test the detector turns on for half a second every 4 seconds. The teletest can be remotely controlled from the control panel, or can be wired for a continuous and automatic operation. Control panel must recognise the short test pulses from the alarm state, which is steady on. Electrical wiring on 8 way terminal block. Operating temperature -20 +60 °C. Storage temperature -40 +85 °C. Cable entry fitting PG21 (hole diameter 29mm). Dimensions 180 x 92 x 80 (H) mm (mounting holes 118 x 76 mm). Weight 800 grams. Manufactured in compliance with the essential requirements of the directives 73/23/EEC + 93/68/EEC (Low voltage) and 89/336/EEC + 93/68/EEC (EMC) and in compliance with EN 60065 safety standards. EN 54-10 class 2 approved, VdS Approval Certificate no. G 205044

Model number: Evolution EVC-DP Make: Nittan Weblink: http://www.nittan.co.uk Specification Attachment: Teaser: Evolution EVC-DP Conventional Dual Photo-electric Detector Technical summary The Evolution Dual Photoelectric smoke detectors EV-DP and EVC-DP both use a new, unique Dual LED optical chamber, which utilises both Blue and Infra-Red LED’s to effectively measure the size of particles in the chamber. This methodology is based on Gustav Mie’s particle scattering Theory (published 1908), and has enabled Nittan group to design cost effective Optical smoke detectors with a number of enhancements over standard Single Optic smoke detectors and Optical-Heat Multi-sensors. Measurement of the particle size enables the smoke detector to discriminate between combustion particles and much larger particles (Steam, Dust etc) which are a major cause of False Alarms in Automatic Fire Detection systems. In the event that Steam or Dust is present, the decision to Initiate a Fire Alarm condition can be inhibited or delayed. Single sensor Optical smoke detectors (and even Multi-sensors) cannot make this decision, since they can only decide if the amount of scattered light striking the Photo-diode is greater than the Alarm threshold. Single sensor Optical smoke detectors are basically sensitive to large and gray combustion particles generated by TF2 (Smoldering wood fire) and by TF3 (Smoldering cotton fire) and less sensitive to small combustion particles generated by TF1 (Open wood fire) and black particles by TF5 (Liquid (N-heptane) fire). However, using the Dual Photo technique (and compensating algorithms), this lack of sensitivity can be reduced – again since the particle size is effectively being measured. In the presence of small or black combustion particles, the signal can be amplified (multiplied) to take it over the Alarm Threshold. DP detectors can therefore replace Ionisation detectors, which ARE sensitive to small particles. The DP detectors are still optical devices however, so they will remain insensitive to the invisible aerosols that Ionisation detectors respond quickly to (causing False Alarms). Whilst DP detectors will give a reduction of False Alarm signals in the event of Transient Steam or Dust, which would set off Standard Optical detectors, they are generally not suited to being placed in Dirty or Dusty environments. Other detectors are available which can be safely situated in these environments.
