utilizing a wide range of spray and pool fires.

2- Protection of Machinery in Enclosures

- Water mist systems listed under this category are for enclosures with machinery
such as internal combustion engines, oil pumps, oil tanks, fuel filters, generators,
transformers, gear boxes, drive shafts, lubrication skids, diesel engine driven
generators, and other similar equipment using liquid hydrocarbon fuel and/or
hydraulic, heat transfer, and lubrication fluids; enclosures with incidental use of
