Model Marioff HI-FOG - Fire Protection

A water mist system is a fire protection system which uses very fine water sprays (i.e. water mist). The small water droplets allow the water mist to control, suppress or extinguish fires by: cooling both the flame and surrounding gases by evaporation, displacing oxygen by evaporation, attenuating radiant heat by the small droplets themselves. The effectiveness of a water mist system in fire suppression depends on its spray characteristics, which include the droplet size distribution, flux density and spray dynamics, with respect to the fire scenario, such as the shielding of the fuel, fire size and ventilation conditions.

Model TraceTek - Leak Detection Systems

Water is everywhere in modern buildings, and that’s fine, as long as it stays where it belongs, in the process areas, the heating, cooling, air–conditioning, vending, surface water, sewerage and plumbing systems! Just a small failure in any of these can create a staggering amount of damage and disruption – particularly if the leak goes unnoticed for any length of time. TraceTek leak detection systems can detect and pinpoint the source of a leak to help you take decisive action long before the problem turns into a disaster. Whether your concern is semiconductor manufacturing facilities, raised floor computer facilities, control rooms, operating theaters, telecommunications equipment, archival storage or a trading room, we have market-leading technologies and configurations to fit your needs. With a TraceTek system you can detect an unseen leak and locate it to the nearest foot with better than 0.1% precision.

Securiplex Fine Water Spray (FWS)

Semiconductor Water Mist Nozzle

The Jetmist nozzle consists of three parts (cap, insert and base). The nozzle uses the existing Nitrogen and DI water systems in the fabrication area. No stand alone source of extinguishing medium is required. Water/deionized (DI) water and nitrogen (N2)/air are supplied independently to the nozzles through side ports. The nozzle is specifically designed to produce a desired spray pattern and angle, as well as to operate at a specific pressure and flow rate. Nozzle layout must conform to guidelines*. Nozzles may be mounted to either the sidewall of a compartment or over the surface of the protected area and supplied in a daisy chain configuration (maximum of three nozzles). They are to be installed on a piping network that is sized to supply each nozzle with the minimum water and air (or nitrogen) pressure. The Securiplex water mist nozzles are approved by Factory Mutual and compliant with the National Fire Protection Association (NPPA) Standard no. 750.
