Safe Solutions with High-Pressure Water Mist
Technical rooms and UPS systems are central hubs to the energy and data supply of companies. A fire in these critical areas could severely disrupt or even shut down the entire operation. For this reason, a reliable and efficient fire protection concept is crucial for technical rooms.
High-pressure water mist technology is an ideal fire protection solution for technical rooms. It effectively protects technical equipment in an emergency case and ensures it is quickly available again.
pre-warning times requirement assures safe environment for people and minimal fire damage thus business interruption
cooling effect compared to any other firefighting agent assures safe environment for people and effectively avoids re-ignitions
The fine water mist creates a high cooling effect, containing the fire and minimising consequential damage. The small amount volume of water used provides additional protection for electrical operating rooms.
Another advantage is that high-pressure water mist systems are simple and flexible to install. This is particularly beneficial when retrofitting fire protection with water mist systems in existing buildings. In many cases, costly structural protective measures are not required. Therefore, high-pressure water mist technology is an important part of fire protection for UPS systems and technical rooms.
FAQ – Fire Protection in Technical Rooms & UPS
How does high-pressure water mist protect equipment?
Fine water mist cools the fire effectively, suppresses flames, and locally vaporizes water, quickly controlling the fire. Minimal water usage reduces collateral damage to electronics, maintaining high equipment availability.
Is water mist safe for UPS and electrical equipment?
Yes, if the system is correctly planned and installed. The very fine droplets minimize water exposure and reduce the risk of short circuits. Proper nozzle placement, sectioning, and adherence to manufacturer guidelines are essential to avoid residual moisture.
Can water mist replace structural fire protection or be retrofitted?
Often yes: water mist systems are compact and can be flexibly integrated into existing buildings, reducing the need for extensive structural modifications. Project-specific review by fire protection planners and necessary approvals are still required.
What technical or operational considerations should be observed?
Key points: permissible room size and ceiling height, reliable water supply and drainage, regular maintenance, and compliance with relevant standards and certifications. These factors determine suitability and effectiveness.
