HOW IT WORKS
Water mist puts out fire using physics, not volume. High-pressure water is forced through fine nozzles to create a dense fog that cools the fire and starves it of oxygen — using a fraction of the water a sprinkler would.
THE SCIENCE
A fire needs heat, fuel and oxygen. Water mist takes away two of the three at once.
Systems run at around 80–90 bar, forcing water through specialist nozzles.
That pressure atomises the water into a mist of tiny droplets, roughly 50–150 microns across.
The vast surface area of the mist absorbs heat extremely quickly, dropping the temperature.
As droplets flash to vapour they expand, locally displacing oxygen and smothering the fire.
WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT
Same goal as a sprinkler — a very different approach, with far less collateral damage.
A fraction of a sprinkler’s flow means far less damage to the building and its contents.
Mains-fed, so there’s nothing bulky to find space for.
Only the nozzles near the fire activate — typically around 57°C — not the whole system at once.
