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 |

|
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.
