Le financier américain Bernard Madoff, accusé d'une gigantesque fraude portant sur 50 milliards de dollars, séjournait régulièrement à Antibes, sur la Côte d'Azur, où il possède une villa et un yacht, affirme samedi le quotidien français Nice-Matin. Propriétaire d'une villa et d'un terrain de deux hectares au bout du Cap, l'homme d'affaires new-yorkais séjournait en été avec son épouse et ses petits-enfants sur la presqu'île, parmi les plus chères du monde. -

«A» comme Aleksandra, la femme du milliardaire russe Andreï Melnichenko, 36 ans. Lequel vient d'infliger un sérieux camouflet à son compatriote Roman Abramovitch, en se faisant construire ce joujou de 119 mètres de long. Soit quatre de plus que le «Pelorus», le plus gros des trois yachts du précité. -

(C-6 fluoroketone) is liquid at room temperature and looks and acts very much like water; but it’s not wet, so you can immerse objects in it without them absorbing the fluid. That makes it perfect for putting out fires without damaging property, which is achieved via its cooling effect due to rapid evaporation. Unlike other halogenated fire suppression agents, however, the fluid has zero ozone depletion potential and the lowest atmospheric lifetime for halocarbon alternatives: 5 days. It also has a Global Warming potential of 1; this is 99.9% lower than any halocarbon agent acceptable for use in occupied spaces.. Finally it appears to be non-toxic and easy to handle.

 Clean Agent Automatic & Manuel Automatic Fire Suppression Systems for Pleasure Craft, Yachts and other Marine & Offshore Environments
CLEAN AGENTThe extinguishing agent use in all Marine Fire 740 models is Heptafluoropropane, more commonly known as FE-227. FE-227 rapidly extinguishes fire by cooling the fire to the extent that the combustion reaction cannot sustain itself. It can suppress a fire in 10 seconds or less after discharge. FE-227 does not significantly reduce oxygen levels and is safe for use in occupied spaces in accordance with US EPA guidelines. FE-227 can be removed from the protected space by simply ventilating the space after a system discharge. It is, non corrosive, and leaves no residue or collateral damage. It has a minimal impact on the environment when compared with that of a major fire or other traditional agents such as Halon: the ozone depletion potential of FE-227 is zero, and it has a reduced estimated atmospheric lifetime.
CYLINDERSAll cylinders containing from 2 lbs to 40 lbs (1kg to 18kg) of agent are high quality, seamless, lightweight aluminium with epoxy coating designed to hold the FE-227 under pressure until it is discharged.. Cylinders containing more than 40lbs (18kg) of agent are made of high quality steel, designed and built to US DOT 4BW500 and European PED/TPED standards, finishes with an epoxy coating. Allcylinders containing more than 40lbs (18kg) of agent must be installed in the upright position. Each cylinder contains a thermally operated discharge valve, pressure gauge, siphon tube (rigid or semi-rigid according to desired position of cylinder) and pressureswitch. All components and valve assembly are brass thus eliminating risk of leakage
SYSTEM ACTIVATIONThe discharge valve is a thermally operated device; a piston is held in place by an thermally sensitive glass bulb which ruptures upon sensing extreme heat, releasing the piston and releasing agent into the protected space. The system can be activated in either of three different ways: 1) manually, 2) automatically via thermal actuator 3) manual activation and automatic activation together. |
