Water Mist Fire Suppression System

The Water Mist Fire Suppression System is a modern fire protection solution that uses the natural power of water through advanced Water Mist technology. The system breaks water into extremely fine micro-droplets, smaller than 50 microns, creating a strong cooling effect and helping to control fire quickly.

System Technology

The system works on the principle of water mist, where each water droplet is divided into millions of micro-droplets. This process creates several important fire suppression effects:

• Displacement of oxygen in the combustion area;
• Significantly increased cooling effect compared to traditional sprinkler systems;
• Major reduction of radiant heat;
• Faster control of temperature and fire spread.

Main Advantages

• Minimal water consumption, up to 90% less compared to sprinkler systems;
• Safe for people and the environment;
• No immediate evacuation required during discharge, depending on the design scenario and risk assessment;
• Reduces water damage to equipment, high-value spaces and sensitive environments;
• Suitable for museums, data centers, hotels, cultural venues and luxury facilities;
• Requires smaller piping and a lighter installation structure.

Tested and Approved According to International Standards

Water Mist systems are designed and tested according to international fire protection requirements and protocols, including:

• NFPA 750 – Standard for Water Mist Fire Protection Systems;
• UNI CEN/TS 14972 – Technical specifications for Water Mist systems;
• IMO A.800 (19), MSC/Circ. 1165 and MSC/Circ. 1387 – marine applications;
• FM 5560 – testing and approval requirements for Water Mist systems.

Applications

The Water Mist Fire Suppression System is suitable for a wide range of buildings and sectors, including:

• Public buildings, museums, theatres, temples and cultural heritage buildings;
• Industrial and energy facilities, including tanks, electrical panels and generators;
• Marine and transport sectors, such as ships, tunnels and airports;
• Commercial kitchens, including ship kitchens and industrial deep fryers;
• Data centers, hotels, luxury facilities and spaces with sensitive equipment.

Types of Installation

The installation can be adapted both to new buildings and existing facilities. The system can be supplied in several configurations:

• Cylinder skid – cylinder-based system for storing and distributing the extinguishing agent;
• Pumping unit – pumping unit for continuous water supply under pressure;
• Pre-action system – controlled activation system, suitable for environments where additional protection against accidental discharge is required.

Summary

The Water Mist system provides efficient fire protection with low water consumption, minimal environmental impact and reduced damage to equipment or high-value spaces. Thanks to its micro-droplet technology, this system is an advanced solution for facilities where safety, asset protection and operational continuity are key priorities.
