"Marrying" air humidifying systems with fire detec
Integrating fire detection and fire suppression into air humidifying systems in textile SME.
Description
Indoor air humidity affects the quality and handling of yarn and textiles, as well as their electrostatic discharges. This is known to textile SME owners, and they take measures to control the air humidity, since it directly affects their productivity and their bottom line. Therefore, given that textile SMEs are willing to invest in air humidifying systems, my idea is to "hybridize" such humidification systems with fire detection and with fire suppression (e.g. water droplet spray). That is, since water is already supplied to the humidifying systems that usually pass moisture and water droplets into the indoor air, so the water can - in a fire emergency - also be sprayed from the same water, albeit using a different design of spray head (self-adjusting head for altering the droplet sizes), etc. "Smart" humidification systems, with fire detection and fire suppression modules, become an affordable, a la carte approach to equipping textile SME premises against fire risks.
