Book Description
The potential efficacy of water mist fire suppression systems has been demonstrated in a wide range of applications and by numerous experimental programs. These applications have included Class B spray and pool fires, aircraft cabins, shipboard machinery and engine room spaces, shipboard accommodation spaces, and computer and electronics applications. To summarize these experimental efforts, the efficacy of a particular water mist system is strongly dependent on the ability to not only generate sufficiently small droplet sizes but also distribute sufficient mist concentrations throughout the compartment. A widely accepted critical concentration of water droplets required to extinguish a fire is yet to be determined. Factors that contribute to the success or failure of a water mist system for a particular application include droplet size, velocity, the spray pattern geometry as well as the momentum and mixing characteristics of the spray jet, and the geometry and other characteristics of the protected area. At this time, the effect of these factors on system effectiveness is not well known. This will necessitate evaluation of water mist in context of a specific system for unique applications for the reasonable future unless breakthroughs in understanding of mist distribution and flame interaction occur through research. Total flooding agent, Fire suppression, Water mist.

Water Mist Sprinkler Requirements for Shipboard Fire Protection

Publisher:
ISBN:
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 97
Book Description
The current status of water mist (water fog and water mist are used interchangeably throughout this report) fire suppression system technology applicable to shipboard accommodation spaces and service spaces is reviewed. The review includes phenomenological descriptions, both old and new system designs and applications, and results of previously reported fire tests. Comparisons with conventional automatic sprinkler systems show that the special attributes and limitations of water mist systems warrant special system approval and installation guidelines. A draft standard for approval of water mist fire suppression systems and components has been prepared by Underwriters Laboratories (UL) as part of this project. The draft standard parallels ISO 6182-1 for automatic sprinklers, but includes additional fire tests, and tests for essential and unique mist system components, such as strainers in the water delivery piping. A summary of the fire tests in the draft standard are presented along with a discussion of the need for additional testing and installation guidelines.
