Full Scale Tests of Water Mist Fire Suppression Systems for Navy Shipboard Machinery Spaces. Part 2. Obstructed Spaces.

摘要: Abstract : Full scale tests of candidate water mist systems were conducted in a simulated machinery space on the ex-USS Shadwell. There no obstructions and fire threats both pan spray fires up to 10 MW. These demonstrated potential ability extinguish shielded unshielded Class B full scale, relatively uncluttered applications. Of particular importance from standpoint minimization damage is rapid reduction temperature almost immediately after system activation. also demonstrate differences firefighting capabilities tested. While these results are extremely encouraging, modifications will be needed shorten extinguishment times minimize damage. included Phase II tests.
