WATER MIST - EI MIST
The water mist system EI MIST HP designed and constructed by Eusebi Impianti S.r.l., operates at a pressure of between 100 and 120 bar, and is fitted with special distributor nozzles which sprinkle water in tiny droplets. The spraying of micro drops of water has a total extinguishing action on the fire itself thanks to the combination of three main features:
- cooling action: the water particles, as a consequence of their size, are subject to rapid evaporation, with the consequent removal of a large quantity of thermal energy
- inerting action: the water vapor, generated by the water evaporation, behaves just like an inert gas and it helps to control and suppress the fire
- shielding action: the particles of water sprayed are capable of absorbing the radiant energy released by the fire, and so they significantly reduce the probability of the materials situated in the vicinity of the flames reaching their ignition temperature
Applications:
- machinery space, turbines, generators, off shore platforms
- warehouses, shops, hotels, archives, libraries
- computer and telephone rooms
- military and civil ships
Advantages:
- environmentally friendly
- minimises the damage caused by the extinguishing agent
- safe for people
- eliminates the cost of large storage tanks
The water mist system EI MIST HP water mist fire extinguishing system was tested in the SP laboratory in Sweden. In this laboratory, Eusebi Impianti engineers, along with their colleagues from SP laboratory, carried out various type of tests, and also placed the system in the most particular and problematic situations, with great results every time.
The water mist system EI MIST HP system offered by Eusebi Impianti srl complies with the NFPA 750 fire protection standards and IMO 913, A800 and IMO/CIR. 1165. It’s been tested following FM Standards (Appendix G and H) and certified by BV (Bureau Veritas). The Nozzles have been tested following UL standards and it was performed tests for archives and electrical cables by RINA Industry.
Water mist system EI MIST HP is a system classified as class 1 (minimum diameter of the water droplets sprayed less than 100 microns) and it has also been acknowledged as being suitable, in accordance with the above standards, for use in extinguishing both Class A fires (solid combustibles such as paper, wood, etc.) and class B fires (liquid combustible such as petrol, oils, etc.).
