Water Mist Systems

A water mist system is a type of fire suppression system that uses a combination of water and air to create a mist-like spray that is highly effective in suppressing fires. This type of system is designed to be used in areas where traditional sprinkler systems may not be practical, such as in areas with high ceilings or where the installation of a sprinkler system is cost prohibitive. Water mist systems are designed to be more efficient than traditional sprinkler systems, as they use less water and create a finer mist that is able to penetrate deeper into the area where the fire is located. This finer mist is also able to cool the surrounding area more quickly, helping to reduce the spread of the fire. Water mist systems are also designed to be more effective at suppressing fires in areas where combustible materials are present, as the mist is able to penetrate into these materials and help to reduce the spread of the fire.
