A fire needs three elements to create the fire triangle: combustible material, heat, and oxygen. Water mist technology disrupts this triangle by removing two key elements: heat and oxygen. Unlike traditional sprinkler systems that only reduce heat, water mist systems achieve greater effectiveness through a unique mechanism.

Water mist systems operate by spraying water at low, medium, or high pressure through specialized nozzles. As the pressure increases, the water droplets become smaller, resulting in a larger surface area and faster evaporation into steam. This rapid transition absorbs heat and reduces oxygen at the flame front, quickly lowering the temperature and starving the fire of necessary elements. Additionally, the cooling effect of water mist helps prevent re-ignition.

Water mist systems use significantly less water than traditional sprinkler systems, making them a cost-effective fire protection solution. They are also environmentally friendly, causing no ozone depletion or contribution to global warming. Additionally, they minimize water damage, are safe for people, and are highly reliable.

Pressure Ranges and Applications

Each pressure range has specific applications, with low pressure systems being optimal for different settings than medium or high pressure systems.
