Sinorix H₂O Gas (EN)

During a fire, Sinorix H2O Gas floods an area simultaneously with both nitrogen and water mist. Both extinguishing agents are carried by the same piping network and are distributed by the same nozzles to the flooding zone. Nitrogen is used as the extinguishing agent and as the propellant for the water, modifying the dispersement and softening the initial burst of gas. Thanks to the water component, reignition is not possible.

The smaller the droplets are, the larger their relative surface area is, and the greater the cooling effect they have. As a result, exposed surfaces are coated with only a very thin layer of water. This is usually harmless, even on electrical equipment, because the water normally evaporates within a few minutes.

Nitrogen is chemically inert and its density is roughly equal to the density of air, so the extinguishing agent and the air in the room blend perfectly. Thus, the needed concentration for effective extinguishing can be maintained for a long period of time.

Water is chemically neutral. When sprayed, it quickly dissipates a lot of heat, cooling the materials below their combustion temperatures. The smaller the droplets are, the bigger the specific surface of water and the better the evaporation and cooling effects. This reduces damage and prevents heat-related ignition of flammable materials. As it evaporates, the water's volume expands 1640 times, displacing oxygen close to the fire.

Neither nitrogen nor water present any environmental or health hazards ─ nitrogen constitutes roughly 79% of the atmosphere. They do not harm the ozone layer or contribute to global warming, nor do they create any harmful reaction products when they mix during the extinguishing process. If the fire itself did not create any toxic fumes, you can easily air out the affected area using ventilation systems or opening windows.
