AquaMist Systems at Work
- Evaporation (heat extraction) is a function of surface area of droplets
- Reducing droplet size increases surface area
- Increase in surface area allows for larger cool effect for a given flow
- Water converts to Vapor expanding by a factor of 1650x
- Oxygen is displaced and diluted, blocking it from the fuel source
- Higher heat level causes a faster vaporarization
- Fire extinguishment is improved with direct contact of water droplets
- Important part of operation if ventilation is a factor and Class A combustibles are present
- Small water droplets tend to remain suspended
- The expanding mist will expand and cool the gases and other fuels in the area
- Blocks the transfer of radiant heat to the adjacent combustibles and pre-wets them
Low/ Intermediate Pressure Solution
The AquaMist Ultra Low Flow (UFL) system operates at working pressures of 7 to 16 bar
High Pressure Solution
The system operated at working pressures of 50 to 200 bar to produce droplets of small diameters at high speed.
Hybrid Solution
The system operates at less than 9.4 bar to produce the smallest droplet sizes of any water mist system.
