Aquasonic™ system – high pressure solution

Aquasonic™ system – high pressure solution

The Aquasonic™ water-atomizing fire suppression system is a total flood system designed to protect Class B flammable liquid hazards in machinery spaces, both insulated and non-insulated combustion turbine enclosures, generator enclosures, and flammable liquid storage.

The Aquasonic™ system can protect a potential hazard with a free volume up to 260 m3 with two atomizers that use low pressure, dual flow, supersonic atomization technology to create a minimum 10-minute discharge plume of water droplets that are the optimum size to suppress a Class B fire.

When sprayed within an enclosure, the Aquasonic™ atomizer spray pattern expands slightly and the water droplets are primarily distributed (circulated) around the space via the high velocity atomizing media discharge. As the high velocity discharge plume of water droplets approaches the floor, or other horizontal obstruction, a large majority of the plume is diverted laterally, as well as vertically upwards, to fill the spaces between the core spray patterns and above the atomizers. The circulation characteristics of the Aquasonic™ atomizer plume result in rapid, homogenous distribution of water droplets throughout the protected environment. The Aquasonic™ system has been fire tested within compartmentalized areas and found effective for the suppression of a wide variety of exposed and shielded Class B hydrocarbon pool, spray, and cascading pool fires.

The Aquasonic™ system utilizes water droplets as the suppression agent. These droplets can effectively be applied in total flooding fire suppression applications having a free volume up to and including 9200 ft3 (260 m3). Applications include:

  • Machinery Spaces
  • Both Insulated and Non-Insulated Combustion Turbine Enclosures
  • Generator Enclosures
  • Flammable Liquid Storage
