Beijing Feifufu develops fire curtains for high-speed rail trains exported to Europe

On the morning of November 15, 2015, with the sound of a loud whistle, China’s first train EMU Macedonia, which was exported to Europe, was successfully launched. The train started from the Skopje station in the capital of Macedonia and finally arrived at the Weilas station in the eastern city.

On the same day, the Macedonian government held a grand reception ceremony for the EMU from China National Railway Zhuzhou Electric Locomotive Co., Ltd. Macedonian Prime Minister Gruevski, Deputy Prime Minister and Treasury Secretary Stavleschi, Minister of Communications Mizailovsky, General Manager of Railway Transport Kostov, Chinese Ambassador to Macedonia Wen Zhenshun, etc. attended the pick-up ceremony.

In the first half of 2016, a total of six EMUs arrived in Macedonia.

The Macedonia EMU project is not only the first EMU project that China has exported to Europe, but also the first single EMU product that meets European TSI (European Railway Interoperability Technical Specification) requirements to enter the European market. TSI is also a must for foreign products to enter Europe. Certification. Prior to this, China's rail transit products exported to Europe were generally electric locomotives, subways, and light rail trains. Compared with the above products, EMU technology is more complex and more difficult to develop.

In the development process of the vehicle, foreign parties put forward particularly strict requirements on fire prevention, cold protection, and thermal insulation. Beijing Feifufu Engineering Technology Co., Ltd. participated in the development of a fixed fire extinguishing system between the cars, including a series of fireproof partitions and fire shutters. In the final train between the carriages, ultra-thin, irregular-shaped projection surface fire shutters (hereinafter referred to as ultra-thin fire curtains) developed by Beijing Feifufu to high-speed trains were adopted. It is the first time in the world that fire shutters have been used in train cars.

The ultra-thin fire curtain developed by Beijing Feifufu specifically for high-speed rail adopts materials and transmission methods that are completely different from those used in conventional fireproof roller blinds in buildings. For example, the commonly used fire shutter curtain used in construction is made of glass fiber cloth. Ceramic fiber cloth, ceramic fiber blanket, radiation protection aluminum foil composite or steel profiles, thickness is usually about 20mm. The ultra-thin fire curtains are made of special fabrics, with a special coating thickness of only 4mm. The projection surface of a conventional fireproof roller blind must be a rectangle, and the projection surface of the roller blind has a wide upper portion, a narrow lower portion has two different size rectangles and a trapezoidal projection surface. Of course, at the same time, the guide rail is not perpendicular to the ground. The second part is vertical and the other part has a certain angle. These are completely original technologies.

China's high-speed train Mercedes-Benz is on the European land, connecting the one-way and one-way nodes. Beijing's Feifufu's ultra-thin curtain protection cover comes from passengers in different regions of the globe.
