ABSTRACT:
A water spray mist is used to cool a compartment fire before discharge of a gaseous fire suppression. As a result, less water and less fire suppression agent is needed than required with conventional method of suppressing compartment fires. The water spray may be continued for a short time after initial discharge of the fire suppression agent, and may be restarted after the fire has been extinguished. Also, the present invention reduces the levels of toxic and corrosive gases in compartment created during the suppression of compartment fires by the use of a gaseous fire suppression agent.
