Water Mist System

Water Mist fire suppression system is an advanced fire protection technology that uses fine mist (small water droplets) to suppress fires. It works by reducing the temperature and oxygen levels around the fire while also cooling the surrounding area, which helps to suppress the flames more effectively than traditional sprinkler systems.

♦ Key Features of Water Mist Systems ♦

Cooling Effect: The small water droplets (in the range of 10-1000 microns) created by water mist systems, increase surface area to maximize the efficient absorption of heat.
Heat Absorption: The mist absorbs heat from the fire, leading to a rapid decrease in temperature. This helps in controlling the fire quickly.
Oxygen Displacement: The small droplets evaporate rapidly and expand to displace oxygen in the proximity of the fire.
Minimal Water Damage: Since it uses significantly less water compared to traditional sprinklers, water mist systems can reduce water damage to valuable assets, especially in areas like data centers, museums or archives.
Versatility: They can be used in various environments, including industrial facilities, commercial buildings, engine rooms, historical sites etc.

Benefits

Effectiveness in Confined Spaces: Water mist systems are particularly effective in smaller or more confined areas where a traditional sprinkler system might cause too much water damage.

Eco-Friendly: They use less water than conventional sprinkler systems, which makes them more sustainable and reduces the environmental impact.

Rapid Response: Water mist can suppress fires faster, which can lead to reduced damage and increased safety.

The environmental advantages

Water mist systems consume notably less water than traditional sprinkler systems minimizing consequential water damage and downtime for businesses. Water mist systems do not contribute to ozone depletion or global warming. Water mist systems do not produce toxic by-products when applied to a fire and do not require complex decommissioning procedures.

Applications

Data Centres, Tunnels and Transport Systems, Heritage Buildings. Water mist systems offer a highly efficient and environmentally friendly alternative to traditional fire suppression systems, especially where water damage needs to be minimized.
