A fire needs three elements to survive: Oxygen, Heat and Fuel. Removing any one of these will extinguish a fire. High-pressure water mist technology effectively tackles two of these elements — Oxygen and Heat.

Water mist suppression systems operate at high pressure, delivering water as a fine atomised mist. This mist rapidly transforms into steam, smothering the fire by cutting off its oxygen supply. At the same time, the evaporation process significantly cools the surrounding area.

Traditional sprinkler systems release larger water droplets to absorb heat and cool the area. However, due to their size these droplets often fail to evaporate and quickly fall to the floor, leaving excess water behind.

In contrast, high-pressure water mist releases microdroplets that fall more slowly. These smaller droplets have a larger surface area allowing them to absorb more energy and evaporate efficiently. This results in faster cooling, reduced water damage and a lower risk of reignition.
