High Pressure Water Mist - Increasingly Mist Is A Must

For over a decade, Tyco Fire & Integrated Solutions (TFIS) has been leaders in water mist technology. Looking foward, TFIS is now offering a new High Pressure Water Mist solution - MicroDrop® - which will enable us to further improve existing system applications and develop exciting new ones.
 
For a fire to survive, it relies on the presence of the three elements of the fire triangle: oxygen, heat and a combustible material. The removal of any one of these elements can suppress or extinguish a fire.
MicroDrop® goes further. It removes two elements of the triangle, heat and oxygen, achieving this by dispersing water at a typical 100 bars pressure through specifically designed nozzles. Generally, as system pressure increases, the water droplets size decreases; this in turn causes the surface area of the water to grow significantly.
The larger the surface area, the more effective the system becomes in rapidly reducing temperature and oxygen at the flame front. In the event of a fire, a minimum of just 1 litre of water per minute flows through each nozzle, dependent on application. In addition, the system binds smoke particles to reduce smoke damage. This makes MicroDrop® system an extremely effective fire protection medium that significantly reduces asset damage and operational downtime in all "business critical" applications.
 
For many users, the small amount of water used in high pressure water mist systems and reduced consequential damage, helps to attract lower insurance premiums. Installing MicroDrop® can be a good investment in several ways.
