Are there drawbacks to conventional low pressure sprinkler systems or gaseous systems?
JN. Conventional sprinklers and water spray systems fight fires by the inefficient process of wetting or cooling combustible surfaces. Conventional low pressure water spray or sprinkler systems can cause much water damage. Often the water damage is greater than the direct fire damage. Low pressure systems can be difficult to install, especially on ‘retrofit’ projects. Gaseous systems are unsuitable for many risk areas areas because of the difficulty of guaranteeing enclosure integrity, high recharge costs and the personnel and environmental safety issues. O&G. How does your solution offer better safety protection? JN. HI-FOG solutions range from simple, self-contained pressure cylinder systems protecting small enclosures, to powerful pump systems for protecting the largest machinery spaces. HI-FOG systems are becoming the first choice fire protection solution for all machinery spaces. This includes turbine and generator enclosures, transformer and compressor rooms, engine test cells, i
