MISTING, FLOODING, AND PRE-COATING SYSTEM FOR FIRE SUPPRESSION

摘要

A misting, flooding, and pre-coating system and method includes means for delivering an aqueous fire extinguishing agent to an object at risk of fire and, in particular, a combustible metal such as, but not limited to, titanium or zirconium. The extinguishing agent includes a first solubilized bonding molecule capable of forming two or more hydrogen molecules with water molecules of the extinguishing agent. The bonding molecule remains in solution during storage and at the moment of its deployment from storage, and this bonding molecule is the primary means of initial fire extinguishment and temperature suppression. The agent, which is preferably halogen-free, can be deployed within an enclosed space without creating the kind of temperature and humidity changes that negatively affect humans and make it difficult for humans to remain in the enclosed space and protected from the fire or extreme heat event.
