Process of suppression

• Fire Starts
• Detector Tube Bursts
• Main Release Valve Triggered
• Water/AFFF Mixture Discharged
• High Volume Mist Generated At Nozzles

Temperatures plummet

• Water Mist Interrupts Flame Process
• Water Mist Contacts Hot Surfaces
• Temperatures Drop in 10 Seconds
• Auto-Ignition Not Possible
• AFFF Separates Fuel From Flame

DRY CHEMICAL
Does Not Affect Heat
Re-Ignition Still Possible
