Water Mist systems force water and pressurized gas together to deliver
a spray of very small droplets.
 |
The system suppresses fire in three ways:
- As the water droplets contact the fire they convert to steam.
This process absorbs energy from the surface of the burning material.
- As the water turns into steam it expands greatly. This removes
heat and lowers the temperature of the fire.
- The water and the steam act to prevent oxygen from reaching
the fire so the fire smothers.
Since Water Mist systems utilize water as the extinguishing medium,
they are totally safe for humans. These systems can be useful for
suppressing fires in gas turbine enclosures, and machinery spaces
and are FM approved for such applications.
