Watermist / CAFS System
Water Mist Extinguishers to Prevent Disasters
A Watermist / CAFS system is a fire protection system that makes use of fine water sprays to extinguish fire. With Kanex’s Watermist System, the power of water is rapidly duplicated through the extensive use of Watermist technology.
Types of Water Mist Fire Extinguisher
Here are a couple of water mist extinguishers that you can get for your home or office space.
Water Mist backpack extinguisher
It is a portable fire extinguishing unit that reduces the response time significantly. The backpack CAFS system improves accessibility and enables the firefighters to reach the areas that are unacceptable otherwise. The CAFS is ideal as a first intervention system in emergency vehicles, trucks, Industries, etc.
Trolley Mounted Water Mist Extinguishers
As the name suggests this type of extinguisher comes with a trolley. The trolley-mounted system makes these extinguishers ideal for managing fire in construction sites and warehouses where the inflammable materials are processed or stored.
Principle of Operation
The small water droplets enable the water mist in controlling and suppressing fires by three methods. They are:
By cooling the flames and encompassing the gas by evaporation
Reducing radiant heat by the little water droplets
Displacing oxygen by evaporation
Why Use the Water Mist Extinguishers?
