• EXTINGUISHING CAPACITY
  The FIRE STOP 200/30 has a very high capacity of extinguishing fire, well above all the traditional extinguishing systems.
  It can be used in:
  – Fires of solid and liquid flammable material of categories A, B and C.
  – Activities with particular requirements, complementary to a hydrant system.
  – Environments at a specific risk with the presence of hazardous substances.
  – Activities subject to visits and inspections of fire prevention and companies at the Risk of Significant Accidents.

THE WATER MIST TECHNOLOGY

Normally the fire is schematized by a triangle with the sides
representing the 3 elements necessary for combustion.
The 3 elements are :
– THE COMBUSTIBLE
– THE COMBURENT (oxygen)
-THE SPARK AND THE HEAT THAT FOLLOWS ON THE REACTION

The principle underlying all classic extinguishing systems is the elimination of at least one factor that contributes to combustion.
For example, water cools down the combustible then removes the spark; powders and foam separate the combustible from the oxygen in the air by smothering the reaction.
The water produced by the FIRE STOP 200/30 with the Water Mist system does not act only by cooling down the combustible but also by smothering, as the millions of micro-particles saturate the environment, replacing the air and therefore the oxygen in the environment.
The FIRE STOP 200/30 thus acts both by cooling and by smothering the fire.
In addition, the cooling capacity of the micro-pulverized water with Water Mist technology is increased
hundreds of times, as:
– One drop of the volume of 1 litre of water, at the pressure of 1 bar, has a contact surface with the fire of 0.048 m2;
– 1 litre of misted water, at a pressure of 200 bar, generates 160 million micro-particles, which generate a contact surface with the fire of 20 m2, i.e. 416 times more than that generated with 1 bar.

One of the most important aspects of Water Mist technology is the reduction to a minimum of the water
used to extinguish a fire.
With the traditional extinguishing systems (hydrants, hoses etc.), a large amount of water has to be used, which often flows towards the lower floors, creating great damage and contamination of large surface areas and volumes.

The FIRE STOP 200/30 with Water Mist technology limits to a minimum the water necessary for extinguishing a fire.

USING FOAM AND OTHER EXTINGUISHING OR RETARDANT AGENTS

The FIRE STOP 200/30 can also use foam or other extinguishing or retardant agents which increase its extinguishing capacity even more.
The quantity of extinguishing product can be adjusted on both systems of aspiration, at high and low pressure.
An aspiration device is placed on the water line at the entrance of the high pressure pump and a second aspiration device is situated on the high pressure line, after the pump.

Less than 1 minute to extinguish
a car on fire.

THE REAL FIRE
THE ACTION OF THE FIRE STOP 200/30
IN THE FIRST PHASES

The temperature of a real fire in a confined place increases in
time, during which 4 very specific phases can be identified.
1) IGNITION PHASE
2) PROPAGATION PHASE
3) GENERALIZED FIRE PHASE
4) EXTINGUISHING AND COOLING PHASE

There may be a variable time from between 5 to 30 minutes, for the most distant places, from the emergency call to the arrival on site of the fire-fighters. This first phase, from the onset of a fire to the arrival of the fire fighting teams, may be the most important to save a person’s life or a whole business.
The action of the company’s team in the first phases may prevent the fire from spreading and causing major damage to people or the destruction of important facilities.

THE PECULIARITIES OF THIS SYSTEM

– Versatility and speed of movement.
– Access to difficult areas (narrow streets, heavy traffic, commercial
areas such as squares and pavements, natural areas, etc.).
– Low water consumption.
– Capacity to apply foams and retardant products.
– Less damage caused by water.
– Easy to use: requires only one operator.
– Its capacities can be increased with optional accessories, such as larger
water tanks, depending on the requirements.
– Modular base: if the vehicle does not work, the system can be moved
on to another one in order not to lose its working capacity.
