Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1293230A1] To extinguish fires, an extinguishing gas is directed at the flames to displace oxygen from the ambient air. An extinguishing liquid is mixed with the gas, to be sprayed together at the flames as a fine mist to give a wetting and a cooling action. The mixing of the extinguishing liquid is a two-phase flow in a channel system (1) and at least at one jet (2). The liquid is water, delivered from water tanks (10) at a water supply unit (9). The gas is held in pressure vessels (5) at a gas supply station (3).
