Fine Spray and Water Mist Fire Suppression

Fine spray or water mist fire suppression is a relatively new technology that is gaining popularity in the field of fire safety. This system works by releasing a fine spray of water droplets that effectively extinguishes fires, making it an effective alternative to traditional fire suppression systems like sprinklers.

How Does Fine Spray and Water Mist Fire Suppression Work?

Fine spray / water mist fire suppression systems work by releasing a fine mist of water droplets that are smaller than those produced by traditional sprinklers. These water droplets are so small that they can effectively cool the surrounding area and absorb the heat generated by the fire, without causing any damage to the property or the people in the area.

The mist is produced by a series of nozzles that are strategically placed throughout the protected area. The nozzles are designed to produce a fine mist of water droplets that quickly extinguish fires by cooling the flames and reducing the oxygen supply to the fire.

Benefits of Fine Spray and Water Mist Fire Suppression

  1. Effective Fire Suppression: Fine spray and water mist fire suppression systems are very effective at suppressing fires. The fine mist produced by the system quickly cools the surrounding area and reduces the oxygen supply to the fire, extinguishing the flames quickly and effectively.

  2. Less Water Damage: Unlike traditional sprinklers that use a lot of water to extinguish fires, fine spray / water mist fire suppression systems use a smaller amount of water. This reduces the amount of water damage that can be caused by traditional fire suppression systems.

  3. Safe for People: Fine spray and water mist fire suppression systems are safe for people. The mist produced by the system is non-toxic and does not pose a risk to the health of people in the area.

  4. Low Maintenance: Fine spray and water mist fire suppression systems require very little maintenance. The system only needs to be inspected and tested periodically to ensure that it is functioning properly.

  5. Environmentally Friendly: Fine spray and water mist fire suppression systems are environmentally friendly. The system uses a smaller amount of water and does not use any harmful chemicals, making it a safer option for the environment.

Applications of Fine Spray / Water Mist Fire Suppression:

Fine spray / water mist fire suppression systems are suitable for a wide range of applications, including:

  • Engine Compartments / vehicles: This is the best way to reduce the temperature on a running engine compartment. Powder or gas will not cool the areas and can eventually escape from the engine compartment. Liquid form agents will reduce the temperature by being sprayed and when touching the engine. 
  • Data Centers: Fine spray / water mist fire suppression systems are ideal for protecting data centers. The system can quickly extinguish fires without damaging the expensive equipment and electronics housed in the data center.

  • Hospitals: Fine spray and water mist fire suppression systems are also suitable for hospitals. The system can quickly extinguish fires without posing a risk to the health of patients and staff in the hospital.

  • Industrial Facilities: Fine spray and water mist fire suppression systems are effective at protecting industrial facilities. The system can quickly extinguish fires in areas where flammable liquids or gases are present.

  • Museums: Fine spray and water mist fire suppression systems are also suitable for protecting museums. The system can quickly extinguish fires without damaging the valuable art and artifacts housed in the museum.

Fine spray and water mist fire suppression systems are a safe, effective, and environmentally friendly alternative to traditional fire suppression systems like sprinklers. The system is suitable for a wide range of applications, including data centers, hospitals, industrial facilities, and museums. Fine spray / water mist fire suppression systems are also easy to maintain, making them an ideal choice for those looking for a reliable and cost-effective fire suppression solution.

Better than water: Fine Spray with Tiborex Absolute:

TiboRex Absolute is a ready-to-use liquid special extinguishing agent without the addition of fluorochemicals for highly effective extinguishing of solid fires (class A fire), liquids, non-polar hydrocarbons (class B fire) and edible fats and oils (class F). The special formulation, whose main components are also used as food additives, ensures exceptional extinguishing performance with unprecedented environmental protection.

  • Special Liquid extinguishing agent
  • Cooling Effect 10x greater than water
  • Fine Spray Droplets that penetrate fire very fast.
  • TiboRex Absolute produce very fine droplets,smaller than100μm.
  • Oxygen Suffocation by evaporation.
  • Due to the required enthalpy of evaporationof 2.26 MJ/kg (equivalent to 1 litre of water)energy is extracted from the burning object in a minimum of time and it cools down substantially.
  • Ultra Cooling through Sublimation.
  • Layering with solid crystals that convert to gas.

TiboRex Absolute’s main components form crystalline structures.With the still existing combustion temperature, these solid structureschange from the crystalline phase to a gaseous phase. The enormousenthalpy of evaporation (heat) required for this amounts to 7.23 MJ/kg.
