Danfoss fire triangle animation
For a fire to survive, it relies on the presence of the three elements of the ‘fire triangle’: oxygen, heat and combustible material. The removal of any one of these elements will extinguish a fire.
The SEM-SAFE® high-pressure water mist system goes further. It attacks two elements of the fire triangle: oxygen and heat. The uniqueness of water mist is that it combines the suppression effect of gas and traditional sprinkler systems. As well as removing the oxygen like a gas system, it simultaneously cools the fire like a traditional sprinkler. The cooling effect additionally lowers the risk of re-ignition.
