Hybrid Nitrogen-Water Fire Suppression System
The Victaulic Vortex fire suppression system is the only hybrid nitrogen-water fire
suppression solution that offers nearly zero wetting of protected areas; no need for
costly clean-up or equipment replacement, green design that is safe for the
environment and personnel, Quick system recharge, minimal facility downtime and
open space effectiveness with no need for assurance of room integrity.
The average Victaulic Vortex droplet size is less than 10 microns, and the minimal
amount of water released per emitter — as little as one gallon per minute —
virtually eliminates any wetting in a space. Traditional sprinklers typically release
more than 25 gallons of water per minute per sprinkler, or 96% more than the
Victaulic Vortex system. In addition, high-pressure water mist systems release
approximately 8 gallons of water per nozzle per minute, or 88% more than the
Victaulic Vortex system. Unlike other combined agent systems, the Victaulic Vortex
hybrid system utilizes both nitrogen and water as complementary extinguishing
agents. For smaller fires, the nitrogen is the primary extinguishing agent, reducing
the oxygen level in the space to a breathable level, where combustion cannot be
sustained.
In larger fires, the water mist is more effective, cooling the fire by absorbing the
heat and reducing the available oxygen. In fact, the heat-absorbing water droplet
surface area is 90 times greater than that of any standard sprinkler system,
providing maximum heat absorption efficiency.
