The archive of the Accademia delle Scienze houses more than 60.0000 ancient documents from sixteenth, seventeenth and nineteenth century such as manuscripts, registers and patents.
FOGTEC high pressure water mist technology protects the archive against the effects of excessive heat while avoiding the water damage that conventional sprinkler systems cause.
For the very high archive rooms (7,5m) a local protection with open nozzles along the shelves was realized. Due to their small space requirements the pipe lines could be installed in a hidden way in order not to derogate the authentic character of the historic furniture. High pressure wall hydrants with FOGGUNs for manual intervention are placed at strategic favourable locations.
