Blueproof™ is a safety device designed to release water in the event of a fire, effectively reducing the risk of flashover and improving visibility for escape. It operates by using pressure and heat, releasing water vapor that suppresses the fire while also absorbing heat from cooler surfaces in the environment. The system has been proven effective in full-scale fire experiments by delivering water over a significant distance.

Reaches over 5m at 3.5 bar.
Radiator pressure may rise to 9 bar in a fire.
Proven during full-scale fire experiments. www.bluerad.eu

20. The spray is driven by the pressure in the
radiator(s) exposed to the fire

22. Cooler surfaces absorb the heat energy
as the water vapour liquifies

2260 J g-1 of heat is required to vaporise water.
Conversely the same amount of heat is released
to condense on a cooler surface

23. Droplets form on exposed
cooler surfaces

Exposed surfaces absorb 2260 J g-1 of heat to
condense vapour back to water. The building
acts as a huge heat sink.

floors and adjacent rooms.
