UL CERTIFICATION 

UL Approval Means: 

• Quality 

• Endurance 

• Stability in operation 

• Fail-safe 

• Rigorous documentation 

• Meeting all possible eventualities 

• Customers’ confidence/Faith in the product 

• Proven manufacturer’s capability 

Finally--- It defines

AFT 


Solutions 

• Preventive measures minimize or lessen fire occurrence; cannot 

eliminate 

• Despite all preventive measures, fire takes place 

• Fire is an accident 

• Accidents take place due to negligence (ignorance/over-confidence) 

• Therefore, we need to have fire fighting systems to douse fire 

What kind of Systems? 

DCP, CO2, Halon, Foam, Water tender?

AFT 


Conventional Fire Extinguishing Media 

• Water- Cooling 

• Inert Gases- Smothering 

• Foam- Smothering 

• Carbon Dioxide - Smothering 

• Dry Chemical Powders- Smothering

Advantages 

• Easy availability 

• Lowest in cost 

Water 

• Good extinguishing capabilities 

• Eco friendly 

Disadvantages 

• Need large volumes 

• Lots of wastage 

• Collateral damage

SRA Damage 

AFT 


Water Damage

• 5 mm particle of water, if broken down to 100 micron size, number of particles are 

125000 in water mist 

Surface Area Increase 

• Surface area of all 125000 particles collectively increases to 50 times 

• As a result, heat transfer is 50 times faster 

• Similarly, for 300 microns, we get 4560 particles. 

& collective surface area is only 17 times more than 5 mm. 

AFT 


Water Mist Technology 

• Helps convert the DISADVANTAGES of water into ADVANTAGES 

• Its CRITICAL that the water droplets are of the right size(100-150 

microns) 

• There is a constant flow of droplets of same size 

• The droplets are propelled at a high velocity into the seat of the fire at a 

low working pressure

Importance of droplets size 

- Small size droplets ( < 50 ) 

-Optimal size droplets ( ~ 100 – 150 ) 

- Large size droplets ( > 200 )

Small size droplets (< 50 ) 

Small size droplets 

cannot penetrate 

into the flame and 

are ineffective 

AFT 


Large size droplets (> 200 ) 

Large size droplets mainly 

pass through the flame 

leaving a puddle behind(90% 

wastage)

Lalbaugh Fire 

AFT 


Optimal size droplets (~ 100 to 150 ) 

Optimal size droplets 

penetrate into the 

flame and evaporate 

there (over 90% 

effectiveness)

Optimal size droplets (~ 100 to 150 ) 

This forms a 

steam blanket 

that suffocates 

the flame and 

prevents the 

oxygen from 

coming in 

AFT System is the only system suitable for all types of fire and provides smothering 

and cooling effect simultaneously.

VIDHAN SOUDHA FIRE 

Fire at Vidhana Soudha creates panic

Controlled: Fire and Emergency Services service personnel putting out the fire that 

broke out at Vidhana Soudha in Bangalore on Tuesday. 

BANGALORE: It was a “fiery” session but outside the Assembly Hall of the Vidhana 

Soudha. An accidental fire that caught both security personnel and legislators off guard 

destroyed computers and furniture in the Internet server room of the Finance Department, 

located on the second floor of the Vidhana Soudha on Tuesday. 

The police said that around 11.15 a.m., following an electric short circuit, fire broke out 

in room number 203-A, which houses the office of Deputy Secretary, Finance 

Department. The room is located next to the chambers of the Minister for Cooperation 

G.T. Deve Gowda. 

Computers, electrical and electronic gadgets, telephones, furniture and huge quantity of 

cables that were stored in the room were gutted. The walls and roof of the room were 

charred. However, no one was injured. As thick smoke started billowing out of the room, 

there was panic at the highly secured Vidhana Soudha for some time. The police closed 

the two gates on the second floor and prevented people from crowding near the room. 

Both the Houses of Legislature were in session when the incident took place. 

Joint Director of Fire Services Chengappa told The Hindu that electric short circuit 

occurred after water from a wash basin fell on the electrical equipment. The police and 

Fire Service personnel at the Vidhana Soudha put out the fi re using portable 

extinguishers, adopting mist technology, he said.

Water Mist in Good Governance 

• Safety/Security of people 

• First 3-5 minutes are crucial in any fire situation 

• Urban firefighting is handicapped by traffic, distances, inaccessible lanes, 

water shortages 

• Rural areas/small towns lack basic fire fighting capability 

• Public gatherings eg. Melas, stadiums, weddings,rallies etc. lack adequate fire 

protection 

Portable water mist systems would be an ideal solution to these various 

situations- 

• Speed in responding to different fires 

• High efficiency –minimal water consumption and maximum fire fighting 

capability 

• Environmentally friendly,ease in usage & portable
