Water Mist System

Facility to extinguish fire with fine water particles by spinning small amount of water at high pressure

What is fine atomization fire extinguishing system? It is a facility to extinguish fire with fine water particles by spinning a small amount of water at high pressure. According to NFPA 750, the first is the International Maritime Organization's (IMO) efforts to improve the fire extinguishing system for commercial ships, primarily aimed at replacing sprinkler systems. The second is an environmentally friendly fire extinguishing system due to the phased withdrawal of halon fire extinguishing facilities under the Montreal Protocol. It is used for engine room and cabin in ships, and for computer room, engine room and kitchen on land. Currently, the scope of application is gradually increasing in the chemical and semiconductor fields.

Fire extinguishing mechanism

Characteristic

특징 표
Purpose Protection of life and property in space from fire hazard
Fire Propagation Prevention Fire temperature control in the fire room for transition to Flashover and prevention of fire propagation to neighboring spaces
Apply fire Applicable to oil and electric fire
Secondary damage Since the extinguishing agent is 100% pure water, there is almost no secondary damage caused by the extinguishing agent. No environmental problems
Initial suppression Excellent for extinguishing initial fires as it can be sprayed immediately after detecting a fire

Operating sequence when configuring the system

  • ① Water tank water supply

    Automatic water supply through flow sensor

  • ② High pressure pump

    Compresses water in the water tank and delivers it to the manifold. Transfers water to the discharge line. Operation test through test valve.

  • ③ Fire hydrant

    Fire detector triggers emission when the system is running and extinguishes fire with a spray nozzle or spray gun

Application of Water Mist

High voltage transformer, underground utility conduit, engine room, machine room, storage for dangerous substances and semiconductor facility room, etc.
