Fighting fires in aircraft hangars poses unique challenges due to the size of the space, presence of flammable aviation fuels, and intricate structural designs. The vast interior makes it challenging to access and control the fire swiftly, emphasizing the critical need for specialised fire suppression systems tailored to these environments.
Firefighting foams used to extinguish fires in hangars often contain chemicals that are harmful to people and the environment. In addition, a foam discharge can cause great damage to the aircraft and other high-value equipment.
Effective fire suppression without filling the hangar with foam a causing damage to high-value aircraft and other equipment.
The FIREKILL™ Model F102-1 low pressure watermist solution is specially developed for the protection of aircraft hangars. The system only uses potable water as a firefighting agent. This not only eliminates the risk of the firefighting medium damaging high-value assets but also makes it an environmentally friendly solution.
What is a Low-Pressure Water Mist System?
Low-Pressure Water Mist Systems utilise specialised nozzles that break down water into fine droplets, creating a fine mist. This mist effectively suppresses fires by cooling the surrounding air and absorbing heat. Water mist washes out acids and scrubs out smoke providing a safer escape route. This advanced technology allows for the use of significantly less water compared to traditional sprinkler systems.
