Water in the form of a cloud of fog in the form of small particles; They are called water mist fire protection systems. water mist extinguishing systems; The heat energy in the environment increases the absorption area and therefore it is used as a water mist extinguishing system in fire protection systems.

This system is divided into 2 different groups; It can be considered separately as single and double agent. The most common of these 2 systems is; This is a double agent. Cylinders without pressure inside, with the help of nitrogen tubes stored at 200 bar pressure; It is activated by blowing nozzles. Thanks to the special pipe system, a homogeneous water mist is created at the desired level and volume.

There are many reasons why water mist extinguishing systems are widely used. If we list them;

• Approximately 10% of sprinkler systems require water. Therefore, water consumption is quite low.
• The diameter of the pipes is quite small and does not take up much space.
• According to tests conducted on class A and B fires; It contains high efficiency.
• It does not cause any harm to human health.
• with a decrease in atmospheric oxygen by approximately 4% in 5 minutes; It drops from 21 percent to 17 percent.
• There is no need to completely seal the area.
• It instantly removes oxygen from the place where the fire starts.
• It has smoke absorption feature.
• It has a 3D fading effect.
• It can reduce the ambient temperature from 900 C to 50 C in 1 minute.
• When clean water is used, the conductivity problem is completely eliminated.
• objects located near the center of the fire; Provides protection against heat energy radiation.
• Also, it does not harm the environment.

What is a water mist fire protection system?

Purpose of water mist fire protection systems;

It evaporates by absorbing the heat energy generated where the fire starts. This helps in lowering the ambient temperature and reduces the temperature from 900 C to 50 C.

water mist particles; It expands 1,760 times its volume until it turns from liquid to gas. In this way, it removes oxygen from the environment in the combustion zone. It reduces the amount of oxygen from 21% to 17% in a short time.
