Water has several properties that make it ideal for firefighting. First, it cools the fire, which by reducing the heat, puts out the fire. Second, water at that temperature turns immediately into steam and expands. Because steam has more surface area than a stream of water, it cools the fire faster.

What is FM 200 system clean agent fire subression system fire fighting system?

The FM-200 system is a clean agent fire suppression solution widely used to protect sensitive areas like server rooms, data centers, and electrical equipment. It works by quickly releasing a chemical gas that suppresses fire without leaving any residue, so it won’t damage electronics or documents. FM-200 is safe for occupied spaces when used correctly, as it extinguishes flames by removing heat and interrupting the chemical reaction of fire. The system is fast-acting, environmentally friendly, and requires minimal cleanup, making it a preferred choice for critical facilities where water-based sprinklers could cause serious damage.

Why is alkali foam used?

It is used as a fire-fighting agent in airports, oil refineries, etc where burning fuel and electrical wiring would rule out the use of water for fire fighting. that is my guess as to what you are talking about. water has to be combined with carbon dioxide- one process was the Cardox process once located in Hoboken- they made fire extinguishers of the foam pattern and also larger engines for applications at air fields and similar sites.
