Abstract

Increasing concerns about the role of halons on the depletion of ozone in the stratosphere have led to a search for alternate agents for suppression. Water, sprayed in the form of tiny droplets, has emerged as a potential fire suppressant. The present chapter presents a brief review of the recent studies on flame water spray interaction. The effects of water spray on both premixed and non-premixed flames are discussed. The significance of droplet size in flame suppression is explained in details. This understanding will lead to efficient atomizer design for fire suppression systems.
