Extension of the Water Mist extinguisher range - April 2015
In 2013 Neuruppin applied the globally recognised water mist technology to fire extinguishers in the low-pressure range. A higher cooling efficiency can now not only be reached for A-class fires, but B and F-class fires can also be extinguished with water mist through oxygen displacement and using less water, while at the same time being kind to the environment.
Additionally to the well-known W 6 WNA, FLN created new models to cover the growing market requirements:
W 6 WNA plus: Cartridge operated with a higher A-rating 21A / (21B) / 40F (6 LE)
W 6 WNL: Stored Pressure with a higher A-rating 21A / (21B) / 40F (6 LE)
W 2 WNL: Stored Pressure for smaller fire risks 5A / 5F/
The main areas of application are offices, shops, hotels, restaurants, hospitals, care homes, children's facilities, event locations, trade fairs, museums and exhibitions, detention centres and trade and commerce.
Product Features
Tiny water droplets between 20 and 100 ?m form a mist with a considerably increased reaction surface
This eliminates an enormous amount of thermal energy from the fire (approx. 2.5 MJ per litre) and noticeably reduces the radiated heat
Water mist offers greater safety when sprayed onto electrical systems
Secondary damages caused by extinguishing agent exposure (cleaning costs, damage of equipment/inventory, vandalism) are extremely low, since water is only used in small quantities
As well as A-ratings, positive test results on B and F-class fires up to 21B/40F in accordance with EN3
No obstruction of visibility when extinguishing
Long spraying times - beneficial for inexperienced users
Personal injuries almost impossible, even when spraying on directly (low kinetic energy of the water mist jet)
Minimum consequential costs of renewing and disposing fire extinguishing agents
