Benefits of SEM-SAFE® high-pressure water mist fire fighting system The SEM-SAFE® high-pressure water mist system is increasingly being considered as a suitable and competitive option for the protection of public and commercial buildings. After conducting a comparative analysis with a conventional sprinkler system on each specific project, key benefits of effective fire protection with high-pressure water mist system can be appreciated by end users as well as the opportunity to identify and quantify important savings. In many circumstances, the high-pressure water mist “solution” is proving to be a cost-effective solution, leaving more space for other money generating activities and providing a lower total cost of ownership. Less water consumption, water damages & minimum downtime Small droplet size and fast evaporation of water, yet sufficient droplet speed to penetrate the fire means less water. There is reduced water consumption and no need for a large water supply reservoir. The size of the water supply reservoir is up to 66% smaller than with a conventional sprinkler system. In case of a fire, there is little water damage to furniture and equipment. The clean-up is easier with no business interruption and, consequently, lower risk of losing market shares and lower insurance costs. Simplicity & flexibility in installation High-pressure water mist is a minimally invasive technology, with a piping network that is easier to integrate into both retrofit installations and modern buildings. The stainless steel pipes are easy to handle due to low weight and they can be bend on site, due to the very small diameter. The weight of the installed water mist pipes, including water, is typically 85% less than a traditional sprinkler system. The installation of the SEM-SAFE® high-pressure water mist system is up to 70% faster. The SEM-SAFE® high-pressure water mist system will not compromise the architectural design, increasing architectural freedom. The modular design of the system provides flexibility for future extensions to cover more protected areas. Lower costs for maintenance All key components of the SEM-SAFE® high-pressure water mist system are high-quality components that are manufactured in-house. Danfoss high-pressure pumps are multi-axial piston pumps made from corrosion-resistant stainless steel. Water is used as a lubricant, making the pumps virtually maintenance free. The piping network, nozzles and section valves are also made from corrosion- resistant stainless steel. This ensures a long service life for the system installed. 4 Danfoss Fire Safety A/S · Fire fighting technology
