Machinery spaces, such as UPS generators, turbines, engine test cells and generator halls are facilities providing process critical services, such as water, electricity, heating and power and are amongst those posing great fire risks.
Water Mist fire suppression systems—originally designed for ships--have long been identified as a safe and reliable form of extinguishing fires on machinery. Yet, no matter how well designed, engineered and manufactured these systems may be, their safety and reliability depend on the utilisation of fire test protocols to determine if they are suitable and approved for specific applications.
Customised Solutions
Water Mist fire suppression systems are not a one-size-fits-all solution. Despite this, designers-suppliers often mistakenly interpret an approval as applicable to all risks. This paper reviews the current protection options available for local applications and the correct solutions that should be adopted.
