The intelligent use of water Successful fire fighting solution Among the available special solutions studied by Danfoss to enhance safety within public and commercial buildings, the following were successfully provided: Glass facades protection The excellent cooling features of the SEM-SAFE® high-pressure water mist system make it the perfect choice for protecting glass facades. SEM-SAFE® has passed the EN-1364-1 fire resistance test for non-loadbearing elements. Instead of spraying water on the glass, the SEM-SAFE® system atomises the water in front of the glass. The cooling removes the risk of thermal stress cracks associated with traditional water-based sprinkler systems and allows the use of a thinner class of glass. This means significant savings for the building owner. Section valves with automatic test The possibility to test all the flow switches from a flow switch panel at the supervision central room of the building reduces time and personnel required for the test and maintenance of the SEM-SAFE® high-pressure water mist system. High-pressure water mist fire hose reel cabinet The possibility to directly connect a fire hose reel cabinet to the SEM-SAFE® high-pressure water mist system by sharing the same pump unit and pipes means significant savings for the building owner. Ventilation system Numbers of fire and smoke dampers in the ventilation system can be reduced and it is possible to keep the ventilation system for smoke extraction running during a fire. Water spray curtains Absorption of radiation for fire control can be implemented by using the ability of a high-pressure water mist curtain to serve as an active fire barrier for the protection of building and people.
