Facts In the long connecting corridors, fire doors have been replaced by a nozzles mounted in the ceiling where the fire doors would normally sit. When activated, the nozzles release a curtain of water mist, which can isolate the smoke in a restricted area. With this solution, you also avoid fire doors shutting by mistake or being damaged by collisions. In the construction of hospitals with limited space for technical installations, the high-pressure water mist installation is the optimal choice. Kenneth Jaquet, fire advisor, Rådgivergruppen DNU I/S Hospitals like the one in Skejby, Aarhus – and the health-care system overall – make up one of the markets which Danfoss Fire Safety has identified as being of particular interest. The company has already installed water mist systems in several hospitals and expects that the Aarhus University Hospital will open the door to more projects. Besides the major savings obtained by installing the SEM-SAFE® high-pressure water mist system, there is another important thing worth mentioning: the fast reaction of the system to a fire. No matter whether a sprinkler system or a water mist system has been installed, the goal is to contain the fire until the fire brigade arrives. For added safety, fire hose cabinets are installed in the hospital building. The placement of the fire hose cabinets ensures coverage of all areas in the building. The fire hose cabinets are connected to the SEM- SAFE® high-pressure water mist pump unit, for added simplicity in installation. The design of the fire hose cabinets makes them easy to use. The water mist solution saves 2 to 7 minutes for emergency response personnel compared to a sprinkler solution, where the fire fighters must first roll out their equipment before entering the building. Quick and easy installation of the SEM-SAFE® high-pressure water mist nozzle.
