You are about to watch a comparison discharge test between a cylinder + pipe + nozzle manufactured by Kidde (At the top part) and the Spectrex cylinder with a 360 degrees dispersion module (At the lower part of the picture).Both discharge the extinguishing agent at the same distance (1.3 ft/40cm) from the watermelon and are directed towards the watermelon (the watermelon simulates the head of a soldier).
Things to notice:
| The top cylinder which includes a pipe + nozzle | The lower cylinder with the 360 degrees dispersion |
| Blows off the watermelon High impact in direct line opposite the nozzle | Substantially smaller impact leaves the watermelon intact |
| Limited dispersion, narrow angle | Wide dispersion, 360 degrees angle.Deflector provides homogenous dispersion and fills a large volume faster |
| Slower discharge | Fast discharge |
