Automist Design, Installation, Operation and Maintenance Manual (DIOM).pdf A comprehensive guide to the design, installation, water supplies, commissioning, maintenance, troubleshooting, and testing of Automist Smartscan Hydra installed in residential and domestic occupancies. It primarily covers the systems use for life safety but might also provide property protection.
Replicating the activation time of electronically controlled watermist system nozzles in B-RISK.pdf A combination of an effective RTI of 20 m½s½ and an effective C factor of 0.25 m½s-½ has been shown to reasonably predict activation times for an electronic nozzle system. For the specific experiments presented in this paper the measured activation times of a concealed sprinkler head are 2.0 to 13.7, 26 times slower than those using an electronic nozzle system.
Probabilistic Modelling of Automist in Open Plan Dwellinghouses.pdf The system can typically perform equivalent to or better than the minimum expectations of a domestic sprinkler system conforming to BS 9251:2021...Consideration has also been given to more ‘open plan’ designs which deviate from guidance, through a probabilistic computational fire modelling assessment of a series of representative dwellinghouse arrangements.
Estimating the Suppression Performance of an Electronically Controlled Residential Water Mist System from BS 8458:2015 Fire Test Data.pdf Three traditional suppression assumptions, historically derived from experimental data for sprinklers, have been adopted in the zone modelling to examine whether their application following system activation can be extended to the tested water mist system. The work indicates that applying these suppression assumptions remains reasonable in the context of the performance of the tested water mist system, noting the constraints of the test methods in representing a limited number of fire scenarios
