The water mist system, also known as water mist fire suppression systems or water mist sprinkler systems, can be used in fire types where water cannot be used directly. For example, water mist extinguishing systems are used in fires caused by electricity or in areas where documents are not to be damaged. Water mist fire extinguishing systems are a very effective alternative in terms of environmental approaches and reducing water damage in sprinkler extinguishing systems.
What Is a Water Mist System?
A water mist system is an advanced fire suppression solution that uses high-pressure mist to extinguish fires efficiently. By releasing ultra-fine water droplets, it cools the fire and displaces oxygen — controlling flames with minimal water usage and damage.
How Does a Water Misting System Work?
A water misting system operates by atomizing water into fine droplets through specially designed nozzles. These droplets rapidly cool the fire zone and reduce oxygen levels, effectively suppressing combustion.
Benefits include:
- Fast heat reduction
- Minimal water usage
- Safe for electrical environments
- Little to no water damage
Where Are Water Mist Systems Used?
Water mist systems can be seen in many areas where sprinkler systems are used.
Commercial Water Misting Systems
Commercial water misting systems are ideal for:
- Data centers
- Hotel
- Hospitals
- Office buildings
- Industrial plants
Water Mist Fire Suppression System Cost
Water mister system cost varies based on the protected area size and system complexity. However, compared to traditional suppression systems:
- Up to 70% water savings
- Lower maintenance costs
- Smaller system footprint
Why Choose Our Water Mist Systems?
- Efficient: Minimal water use, maximum fire control
- Safe for electronics: Ideal for sensitive environments
- Environmentally friendly: No chemicals or harmful residues
- Automatic activation: Fast and reliable fire response
Is a water mist system safe for electrical equipment?
Yes, water mist systems generally are safe for electrical environments due to the minimal amount of water used and the fine mist that evaporates quickly.
What are the benefits of using a water mist system?
Key benefits include rapid fire suppression, reduced water damage, environmental safety, suitability for sensitive equipment, and compliance with modern fire codes.
How much water do misting systems use?
Misting systems use significantly less water than traditional sprinkler systems—typically 0.5 to 1 liter per minute per nozzle, depending on pressure and nozzle size. In contrast, standard sprinkler heads may release 80 to 100 liters per minute, making water mist systems far more efficient and less damaging to property.
Can High Pressure Water Mist Systems Harm Humans?
The water mist velocity is easily reduced after it is discharged, so sprayed water mist sprays are harmless.
What is Water Fog?
Water mist is a fog/cloud of water broken down into small particles. Thanks to these particles, the heat of the environment can be absorbed. In addition, thanks to the expansion properties of these particles, the oxygen content in the environment can drop from 21% to 17%.
What are Water Fog System Components?
Water mist fire extinguishing systems should be designed by making a good hydraulic calculation. After obtaining the necessary approvals, water mist can be applied in all areas deemed appropriate. Water mist system components may include:
- Water mist sprinkler heads
- Water mist spray nozzles
- System mounting elements
- Valves
- Piping systems
- Fitting material
