Abstract (en)

Method for protecting an area, in particular against fire, by emission of a cloud of water droplets, comprising at least two of three successive stages, in an order appropriate to the problem to be solved: - a first stage, corresponding to a long term prevention of fire, in which droplets smaller than 100 micrometres, capable in particular of rehydrating plants, are emitted, - a second stage, used in medium-term prevention, which comprises additionally emitting droplets of 100 to 300 micrometres, yielding a more long-lasting mist, - and a third stage, for immediate prevention, in which droplets of 300 to 800 micrometres are added to the above, generating a drizzle effect. <IMAGE>
