Abstract
A low pressure water mist nozzle for active fire protection from water supplied with supply water pressures of 0.5 bar to 20 bars, characterized by having a separation wall (3) with multiple openings (4) of sizes 01 mm to 02, 5 mm in angles of 10° to 50° to the wall surfaces, which are followed by a cavity (8) having a centrally located outlet opening (6) in its end wall, which are located opposite the separation wall (3) containing multiple openings (4).
Claims5
A fire protection system comprising:
- at least one low pressure water mist nozzle in operable communication with a fire protection system configured to supply water through said at least one low pressure water mist nozzle at supply water pressures of 0.5 bar to 20 bars,
- wherein the low pressure water mist nozzle has a housing and a single separation wall (3) having both a centrally located opening (7) and multiple openings (4) of sizes 1 mm to 2.5 mm diameter, and wherein the multiple openings are at angles of 10° to 50° to the wall surfaces, the separation wall (3) is followed by a cavity (8) having a centrally located outlet opening (6) in its end wall (5), both the centrally located opening (7) and the multiple openings (4) extend between an inlet port (2) and the cavity (8), the end wall (5) is located immediately downstream of the separation wall (3) containing both the centrally located opening (7) and the multiple openings (4),
- wherein a surface of the end wall (5) facing the cavity (8) is conical,
- wherein the end wall and the housing are monolithic,
- wherein a thickness of the separation wall (3) is smaller than a length defined between the separation wall and the end wall (5),
- wherein the centrally located outlet opening (6) of the end wall (5) has a continuous nozzle surface defining an increasing cross-sectional area, and wherein the continuous nozzle surface is curved radially outwardly relative to a longitudinal axis of the nozzle, and
- wherein the cavity (8) is cylindrical in its entire length between the separation wall (3) and the conical end surface (5).
