Dinnteco America's advanced lightning protection products have been granted certification by RINA, a globally renowned entity for engineering, testing, inspection, and certification services across diverse industries, including the marine sector.
This recognition has been awarded to three products within Dinnteco's portfolio: the DDCE marine product range, the dinmar, and the DNNFT dinfil filter, affirming their adherence to high international lightning protection standards.
Validation of technical excellence
The certification by RINA underscores the technical proficiency and dependability of Dinnteco's offerings. Todd Tally, General Manager of Atlantic Marine Electronics, expressed gratitude towards RINA, stating, “We offer our sincere gratitude to the dedicated members of RINA for recognising and certifying these Dinnteco systems.”
He also remarked that this certification bolsters Dinnteco's dedication to advancing innovation, quality, and global safety in both human and structural contexts.
Preventing direct lightning strikes
The DDCE, a key product under Dinnteco's certified range, functions by procuring positive charges from the surrounding environment and negative charges from clouds and the air.
These charges are neutralised within the DDCE, thwarting the formation of the requisite conditions for lightning strikes. As a result, lightning is prevented from striking both the device and the structure it safeguards.
Further designed to function effectively in marine settings, the robust construction of the DDCE incorporates stainless steel, polyoxometalates (POM), and saline. This design ensures protection over an area up to 100 metres and guarantees enduring performance even under the harshest of conditions.
Dinnteco America, established pioneer in lightning protection technology, announced three of its next-generation products have been officially certified by RINA, the major global source providing engineering, testing, inspection and certification services across a multitude of sectors including marine.
Dinnteco’s DDCE marine product range, dinmar and DNNFT dinfil filter have all been certified by RINA, confirming the technical excellence and reliability of Dinnteco technology and validating that its solutions comply with the highest international standards in lightning protection.
“We offer our sincere gratitude to the dedicated members of RINA for recognising and certifying these Dinnteco systems,” said Todd Tally, General Manager of Atlantic Marine Electronics. “This achievement strengthens our ongoing commitment to innovation, quality and the safety of people and infrastructures worldwide.”
“We are deeply proud of this milestone and are excited to continue building a safer and more innovative future.”
Preventing direct lightning strikes
Dinnteco’s DDCE is designed to prevent direct lightning strikes by gathering positive charges from its immediate environment, while also gathering negative charges from the clouds and air. The combined charges are then neutralised within the DDCE.
By continuously repeating this procedure the surrounding atmosphere undergoes a 24/7 compensation process and the upward path required for lightning can no longer form – preventing strikes on both the device and the entire structure it protects.
Designed to withstand the harsh marine environment, the DDCE’s construction combines stainless steel, polyoxometalates (POM) and saline to provide up to 100m protection and ensure long-lasting performance.
