Chemetron Fire Systems is at the forefront of water mist fire
suppression technology. A Water Mist system is a means of fire
protection utilizing a very fine spray. Water is an outstanding
physical agent as a result of its exceptionally high heat absorbing
capacity and latent heat of vaporization. Water Mist works to quench
the fire and hold damage to a minimum. It is a clean agent suitable for
a range of sensitive applications and where people are involved.
The
Chemetron Water Mist system is designed to extinguish fires in various
hazards using a limited quantity of water, as compared to standard
sprinkler systems. The water is discharged through uniquely designed
nozzles that create a very fine droplet size. Water Mist achieves fire
extinguishment through a number of process:
* Flame quenching by cooling of burning materials and potential fuel sources to below auto-ignition temperatures.
* Inerting as a result of vapor production, which excludes oxygen from
the flame front. This generation of vapor dilutes the oxygen percentage
in the air and combats the fire.
* Blocking radiative heat between the fire and adjoining combustibles, thus slowing down propagation of the fire.
