Fire suppression systems for Data Centres – why use water mist?
Can I use a water mist fire suppression system instead of a gas suppression system in a computer data centre? Yes! Until fairly recently data centres have been protected by gaseous suppression systems or sprinkler systems. Water mist fire suppression offers the latest technology and many benefits over these conventional systems. Water mist is a very…

Hyperbaric Chambers
Hyperbaric Chambers – designing bespoke fire suppression systems. WMFE Ltd has recently designed and fabricated a High Pressure Water Mist System to protect a hyperbaric village, a large connected chamber complex, to house 24 divers on-board a pipeline repair vessel. Within an oxygen enriched hyperbaric chamber fire behaviour is modified by the fact that the…

High Sensitivity Air Sampling Systems – the benefits.
High sensitivity Air Sampling systems: Why choose this system over a conventional smoke detection system? High sensitivity air sampling systems can detect a potential fire in its very early stages, long before a smoke sensor would activate. The system comprises a high performance laser based particle detection system (based on the principal of forward light…

Hypoxic Air Fire Prevention Systems
Looking for a revolutionary way to PREVENT fire from your risk area? What is a hypoxic air prevention system? A revolutionary concept that exploits the fact that ordinary air with reduced oxygen content will not allow normal material to burn. Unlike traditional fire suppression systems that usually extinguish fire after it is detected, hypoxic air is…

A quick guide to WATER MIST fire suppression systems.
Water Mist Fire Suppression Systems work in three ways… CoolingWater spray in droplets of micron size produces a large surface area for heat absorption. Once in contact with hot bodies and gases, these droplets convert to vapour absorbing a large quantity of heat, equivalent to 540 calories per gram. SmotheringThe water in its vapour state…
