Fire Extinguishing Principles of Water Mist
  Sprays water mist using the motive power of the ignitionsource
  Small, high-density water mist with large total surfacearea that can quickly absorb large amounts of heat, decrease the temperature of the location of fire and maximize water utilization rate
   
Maximize the utilization of water
  The light-weight and high-density water mist particles are dependent on the thermal
  current of the ignition source
  It blocks the around influent ignition source to block circulation.
  It quickly absorbs large amounts of heat and decreases the temperature of the location of
  fire
   
Blocking of oxygen source
  The water mist particles can easily absorb heat and expands to about 1,760-times the original volume duringvaporization
  Forms a barrier outside the ignition source and blocks the oxygen source
   
Technical Cooperation
  National project implemented by the Ministry of Science & Technology:
  Jointly developed with Chung-ang University
  1st Project: Joint development of the low- and mid-pressure systems
  2nd Project: Joint development of the high-pressure system
  Korea Railroad Research Institute: Development of a water mist system for passenger
  railroad cars underway
 
Water Mist Gun  
  Simply hold the hand of pattern adjustment  
  Easy to adjust the pattern of use  
  Simple hydrants available  
  Respond quickly to a fire shape  
  Small and lightweight  
 
Characteristics
  Direct spraying of high-pressure water mist on the flame using a portable pump.
  Maximizes cooling, oxygen block and fire extinguishing effects regardless of the
  type of fire.
  It can be easily managed and operated.
  It more easily Provides a cooling effect to approach the flame.
  It Allows remote fire extinguishing from more than 20m away.
  It Uses a small amount of water (12~25LPM) to facilitate water supply.
  It can use the water mist and regular hose as an alternative to fire hydrants.
  It can be applied to A, B, C fires and it is not harmful to human' body.
