Water Mist Fire-Fighting System in the Marine LM2500 Gas Turbine Module

Abstract

Gas turbine packagers and end users find themselves today faced with the problem of identifying optimal gas turbine enclosure fire-fighting systems in an era of evolving technology. Research over the last several years has identified water mist as one of the most promising candidates for marine gas turbine enclosures. This paper will discuss the background and implementation of such a system in a military marine gas turbine enclosure.
