ABSTRACT:
A fire suppression system for a process station, or chemical wet bench, employs an electro-optical fire detector and system controller to detect a fire in the process station. The system controller is coupled to a solenoid valve that is opened when a fire is detected by the fire detector, causing the fire suppressant to be delivered to a nozzle positioned in the process station. The nozzle atomizes the fire suppressant flowing through the nozzle so as to substantially cover the interior space of the process station with fire suppressant. The fire suppressant may be water provided by a local sprinkler system, and the nozzle is configured to atomize the fire suppressant when the fire suppressant is delivered to the nozzle under relatively low pressure.
