Extinguishing a fire is a dangerous and risky job, and doing it without practicing caution can harm you. Water sprinkler systems are efficient at suppressing fire eruptions, but they often waste plenty of water once activated. Some facilities and areas have sensitive equipment that cannot risk residual water damage, such as computer systems at offices, heritage sites, and surgical rooms in hospitals. In such cases, it is best to install water mist fire suppression systems or other gaseous or clean systems.
Below are a few advantages of using water mist fire suppression systems:
Quickly activation
The water mist system identifies heat and smoke to operate. Once activated, a special patented nozzle releases micro water droplets, instead of a forced flowing stream of water that can damage sensitive possessions and furnishings inside the room.
Effective
The mist released from the water mist system can contain the spread of fire or even slow it down enough that it extinguishes by itself. The water droplets help cool down flames, which helps put out the fire while also reducing the air’s available oxygen. Finally, the droplets evaporate as they contact fire, which also helps heat absorption while preventing secondary combustion caused by how hot the fire is.
Saves water
Water mist systems use 80%less water than conventional sprinkler systems, while essentially cooling the fire to suppress it.
No water damage
The biggest reason to use water mist suppression systems is that there is no very little water damage, and the system is effective against many fires of different scales. The activation time is much quicker than standard water sprinkler systems. Since there are no toxic fumes, this water system does the job without harming people. The mist system is water-friendly, and best of all, it is good for the environment.
Versatile
Sprinkler water systems are not suitable for all places. This is where water mist systems come in. You do not have to depend on conventional sprinklers or other CO2 based fire systems that can easily cause significant damage to your equipment. Compared to CO2 systems, water mist systems are environmentally friendly, while the chances of destroying valuable assets are relatively less.
