AI Technical Summary
Existing fire extinguishing systems, particularly water-based and aerosol-based systems, are inefficient in extinguishing compartment fires due to uneven distribution of agents, production of toxic byproducts, and inability to effectively overcome obstructions, leading to prolonged extinguishment times and increased agent usage.
A combined system using both water and aerosol agents, where water is used to regulate temperature and enhance aerosol distribution by reducing stratification, thereby improving the effectiveness of aerosol dispersion and extinguishment.
The hybrid system achieves rapid and complete extinguishment of fires by ensuring even aerosol distribution and reducing the amount of agents required, while avoiding toxic byproducts, as demonstrated by controlled fire tests.
