Zusammenfassung:[...]in the marine sector, water mist systems were simultaneously developed for deluge-type, totalflooding fire protection systems for machinery spaces, and "water mist sprinkler systems" that were recognized by maritime authorities to be equivalent to automatic sprinkler systems.1,2 Creating and delivering water mist as an effective fire suppression agent demanded different types of hardware than traditional fire sprinkler equipment. Hardware such as positive displacement pumps and pneumatically-released deluge valves came from industries that did not have or need to obtain UL Listings or FM Approval. [...]the water mist approval protocols were designed to evaluate an assembly of components as a whole.
