Automist Ultra-fast Personal Protection System (PPS) Plumis Automist 2022-04-25 | The ultra-fast personal protection system can be installed quickly and easily to provide immediate protection for individuals at greater risk from fire. It has a self-contained water tank and plugs into a normal domestic socket. It will notify you when it has been activated, or if the system loses power.When reviewing nine fatal fires within this elderly and infirm it was found, that on eight occasions either the person's clothing or bedding was the item ignited first. Of those eight, not one was able to call the fire service themselves. Early trials of several systems showed that PPS linked to smoke detection did not operate early enough to prevent anticipated fatal injuries due to the rapid growth of flame around the front of the individual. Although the smoke detector was positioned in a favourable position, due to a clean burn from the clothing involved the detection did not operate for up to 60 seconds. Automist looks for opportunities to speed up detection, activation of the device through a warning phase now takes as little as 20 seconds.Learn more at:plumis.co.uk/personalprotectionsystem

Automist CAD Design Software suggests the optimal spray head location Plumis Automist 2021-08-19 | When installed in a domestic or residential dwelling we must position our spray head in locations that minimise the likelihood of the nozzle being obstructed. Our online layout software automates this process by reducing the theoretical coverage in the layout drawing when the heads are not located in preferred positions, locations where our historical data shows they are most likely to perform. Principals:1. Select a position where the likelihood of placing something directly in front of the spray head is reduced.Use the proximity to a feature in the room where people are less likely to put something against the wall (e.g. a light switch)2. Select a position with a good line of sight with direct line of sight of the fire risks (e.g the kitchen hob)Ensure most of the potential fire risks are in front of the spray head3. Select a position where the impact of placing something alongside the spray head is reduced Use shorter walls and in proximity to features unlikely to rest something against (e.g windows and doors)

Understanding Automist sprayhead placement (5 minute explainer - 07 02 2021) Plumis Automist 2021-02-07 | For more information listen to the full 45-minute webinar: gotostage.com/channel/624d16a3195d4dc88ee751c594377586To mitigate the chances of direct obstruction our strategy is three-fold:1) Automist through its sidewall delivery is able to utilise the buoyancy of the fire plume to suck the mist in and suppress fires. A water droplet should ideally evaporate inside the fire plume, instead of in the hot layer above it, to be most effective in cooling and inerting the flames. We have tested against shielded fires and shown that it is effective against a fire directly under the head, concealed washing machine fires or fires behind an obstruction.2) We then house the head in "preferred positions" next to light switches, corners, windows and thoroughfares. If the head is not placed in the position a default 90-degree radius of protection is assumed as opposed to 180. Where a preferred position can't be found, extra spray heads are placed to ensure that the installation is robust to future obstructions (page 11 of the DIOM).3) Education, education, education. A fire curtain can be defeated by someone placing something underneath it so it cannot close, a door closer can be defeated by someone propping it open with a doorstop, a sprinkler head can be defeated by painting over it and Automist Smartscan can be defeated if someone secures something heavy directly in front of the nozzle. We believe the best way to address all of these examples is to educate the homeowner. Our installers inform customers how the system operates in as part of the maintenance cycle. We also leave lots of information for the customer: The head itself has a written warning engraved 'DO NOT COVER', we give them a product one-pager and leave a tag on the head to encourage them to register online and receive educational videos and maintenance reminders.
Using Automist Smartscan to improve fire safety in social housing Plumis Automist 2020-09-24 | Walking you through a pilot Automist Smartscan installation in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, Yusuf Muhammad, Plumis’ chief design officer outlines the key features of the system and explains why an increasing number of social landlords are installing the system to improve fire safety.plumis.co.uk/examples#*
Automist FAQ - Why do you mount your nozzles lower down instead of on the ceiling? Plumis Automist 2020-04-19 | Traditional sprinklers mount on the ceiling, as a result, the water droplets have to flow (with gravity & momentum down) against the fire & smoke to reach the fuel, which flow upward. This also means when they activate they can also drag down the smoke layer on the ceiling reducing visibility. In contrast, Automist through its sidewall delivery is able to utilise the buoyancy of the fire plume to suck the mist in and suppress fires. Its lower position means it only needs 5.6 litres per minute to suppress fires. This means installation is easy and it does not require a large tank or water main upgrade, which can be a significant cost barrier. A water droplet should ideally evaporate inside the fire plume, instead of in the hot layer above it, to be most effective in cooling and inerting the flames. If a droplet is entrained and flows upwards together with the gases inside the plume, it will evaporate quickly whilst in contact with the hottest part. Ex Chairman of the International Watermist Association (IWMA) Ragnar Wighus, confirmed the admission of Automist into the exclusive "Archimedes Club" for intelligent use of watermist technology.

What is the company history of Plumis? (Est 2008) Plumis Automist 2018-12-21 | Established in 2008, Plumis has its roots in a project at the Royal College of Art (RCA) and Imperial College Business School (ICBS). Fire extinguishers in residential blocks are increasingly regarded by risk assessors as fire risks, as they can delay evacuation and encourage untrained people to fight dangerous fires. As a response to this insight and through substantial interaction with the fire protection industry, an RCA team consisting of Yusuf Muhammad, Paul Thomas and Jeung Woo Choi, developed a series of innovative fire suppression systems. Little real impact has been made in reducing domestic fire property losses despite public and private sector fire safety campaigns. Each year more than 60,000 fires occur in UK dwellings, resulting in approximately 450 deaths and more than 11,000 injuries. UK Government research suggests that socially deprived households are 31 times more likely to suffer fires than households in general. The idea for Automist came from a brainstorming session with a number of firefighters at Chelsea Fire Brigade. Yusuf and William went on to form the company off the back of winning an Imperial College-wide business plan competition.
