- Abstract
- Interest in the use of water mist as a halon alternative, has increased due to its advantages for fire suppression. To identify the needed future development of water mist fire suppression systems and their potential efficacy improvement, the present work reviews the development of water mist fire suppression systems in the last few years, including fundamental research in water mist, the methods of generating water mist and important applications of water mist fire suppression systems. Some measures for the improvement of the effectiveness of water mist fire suppression systems are also reviewed and discussed.
