Typical Water Mist Applications

Water mist is used in very different situations. It is designed according to two different functions (according to each hazard): fire control or fire suppression.

Fire Control (Total Flooding)

Limiting the growth and the spread of fire, cooling the adjoining fuel and containing upper gas temperatures.

Typical applications would be:

• Computer rooms
• Occupied rooms and class A fires
• Archives
• Cable trays
• Telecommunication centres
• Spill of flammable liquids

Fire Suppression (Local Application)

Complete fire suppression of the risk.

Typical applications would be:

• Commercial kitchens and food industry
• Warehouses containing flammable liquids
• Turbine and transformer rooms
• Engine test cells
• Diesel engines and alternators
• Paint spray booths
• Mechanical escalators (excluding the electrical-type risks in the drive rooms)
