Why Choose A High-Pressure Water Mist Fire Suppression System?
High-pressure water mist systems have a number of advantages over gas fire suppression and traditional water-based fire sprinklers.
High-pressure water mist systems product a mist of fine water droplets which rapidly cool and smother the fire, as opposed to drenching surfaces like a traditional water-based fire sprinkler system. Their small footprint, fast reset and effective fire suppression quickly made them the system of choice for marine and offshore applications following their introduction in the late 1980s; advantages that would later make them popular for land-based installations.
SMALLER PIPE SIZES make high-pressure water mist systems ideal for retro-fits and heritage buildings
LOW WATER DAMAGE compared to traditional fire sprinkler systems
COOLING AND OXYGEN DISPLACEMENT combine the advantages of traditional fire sprinkler systems and gas fire systems to suppress the fire quickly and prevent spreading
LESS DOWN TIME after discharge compared to gas fire suppression systems
LESS DISRUPTION TO OPERATIONS with the system only deploying over affected areas and no necessity to shut ventilation has resulted in high-pressure water mist systems becoming increasingly popular in data centres
