In order to enhance the fire suppression performance of water mist, a new multi-component additive of water mist is produced through physics process for the typical fire (oil pool fires and wood crib fires). To study the effectiveness of the water mist adding this new multi- component additive in fire suppression, a laboratory-scale suppression system was built and a series of tests were conducted in this system. The experimental result reveals that the fire suppression effectiveness of water mist is improved greatly by adding the multi-component additives, Along with increasing the amount of multi-component additives, the fire suppression time of oil pool fire drops rapidly, then increases slightly at some points; but the time of wood crib fire declines gently, then tends to become stable. Finally, the suppression mechanism is discussed so as to find out the deep relationship between the multi-component additive and suppression effectiveness.
