Danfoss launches three new stainless-steel components that enable engine builders to comply with SOLAS 282 that came into force on all new builds in July 2017. The heavy-duty pressure switch MBC 5100, the pressure test valve MBV 5000 and the test valve for pressure cartridge transmitters MBV 3000 are the newest addition to Danfoss’ SOLAS-compliant valve and transmitter program.
In July 2017, the Unified Interpretation of SOLAS 282 came into force, aligning marine operators, ship and engine builders as well as regulating bodies around improved safety in the engine room that accounts for two out of three ship fires.
In response to the quest for safe solutions that protect personnel and assets, Danfoss now extends its product program with three new stainless-steel components for marine applications.
“It is important that we all work together to eliminate aluminum and other metals with low melting points from installations where fuel oil, lubrication oil, and other flammable substances are used. Stainless steel is a safe and competitive alternative that allows our valves, switches and transmitters to withstand temperatures up to 1400° C and still offers the same high reliability, precision and durability as other materials”, says Richard L. Jørgensen, Marine Application Manager at Danfoss.
