1 Machinery Space Fire Protection System from an Approved Product Portfoio

2 Johnson Contros is a goba eader in fire suppression systems. Count on us to hep keep peope, property and the environment safer with our high-performance AquaMist water mist soution.

3 Machinery Space Machinery spaces are faciities providing process critica services, such as water, eectricity, heating and power. Machinery Protection The fire risk within machinery spaces is compex and varied. Machinery spaces can generay be cassified as process spaces containing mechanica equipment, which utiize hydrocarbon fues and ubricants. The presence of fammabe or combustibe iquids, often under pressure, and the cose proximity of hot surfaces creates a potentiay dangerous combination for spray and poo fires. The resuting Cass B fue fires are fast growing, with high heat reease, which has the potentia to cause significant materia damage and business interruption. This type of fire is ideay suited to AquaMist water-based fire protection systems. The water dropets produced by both AquaMist technoogies, provide rapid heat extraction for extinguishing fires and cooing atent heat risks. AquaMist offers machinery space soutions across two product technoogies in both oca appication and tota food configurations. A soutions are proven through fu-scae fire testing to third party test protocos to extinguish fires. AquaMist systems are FM Approved according to their appicabe protocos and are compiant with internationa design standards, incuding BS, CEN, CNPP, UL, ulc, IMO and NFPA for dependabe, quaity systems. Our Water Mist technoogies hep minimize water damage to property and business assets and hep to maintain business continuity.

SONIC Low / Intermediate Pressure Soution The AquaMist Utra Low Fow () system operates at working pressures of 175-250 psi (12 to 17.

4 SONIC Low / Intermediate Pressure Soution The AquaMist Utra Low Fow () system operates at working pressures of psi (12 to 17.2 bar), producing dropets of water through an engineered discharge nozze, with different nozze types for specific hazards. Hybrid Soution The system operates at ess than 125 psi (8.6 bar) to produce the smaest dropet sizes of any water mist system, proving that high pressure isn t aways needed! The AquaMist SONIC hybrid (water-nitrogen) technoogy aso has sidewa atomizers avaiabe for highy obstructed turbine encosures. The system is safe for peope and the environment, and is cost effective to recharge. AquaMist system may consist of: Economica eectrica driven Mist Contro Center (MCC) Red-E Mist Skid cyinder standaone soution Land-based Loca Appication soution Tota Food and Loca Appication A typica SONIC system for machinery space may consist of: Cyinder Skid standaone soution Engineered soution Tota food configuration µm 10 µm SONIC Advantages of the AquaMist Machinery protection soutions: Two different technoogies to suit customer needs and requirements Third party tested Provides protection even for non-seaed machinery spaces Tota Food and Loca Appication soutions Technica services provide vaue-added project support

Sidewa atomizers optiona with AquaMist SONIC for even more fexibiity Turbines Gas and steam turbines provide power generation for the eectrica industry.

The primary fire risk arises from overheating and the associated therma run-away. Fire suppression is further compicated by the high temperature and cose operationa toerances of the turbine casing. Sudden and significant temperature changes can cause therma shock, permanenty damaging the turbine. AquaMist soutions for turbines have undergone third party turbine therma shock tests to hep ensure that fire is extinguished, whie protecting the function of the turbine.

They are encosed spaces, often exposed to chaenging cimatic conditions, where fires occur frequenty due to the cose proximity of fue and extreme heat.

Chaenges incuding a ack of adequate water, infrastructure power, or water run-off coection systems are addressed using AquaMist system offerings. AquaMist systems provide firefighting performance whie requiring ess infrastructure, room integrity, and water coection requirements than other fire protection systems. An AquaMist sef-contained water/propeant skid unit requires even ess infrastructure than traditiona water firefighting systems. Appicabe systems: AquaMist AquaMist SONIC
