Water Mist System Categories

Water mist systems can be split into two categories as follows:

High Pressure Water Mist

High pressure water mist systems (HPWM) consist of high pressure pumps and storage tanks or cylinders of water and pressurised nitrogen cylinders to discharge the water.

The installation is carried out utilising small bore stainless steel pipe work and high pressure discharge nozzles. This system uses minimal quantities of water in comparison to low pressure systems.

Low Pressure Water Mist

Low pressure water mist systems (LPWM) consist of pumps and storage tanks, they generally use more water than HPWM systems although significantly less than traditional sprinkler systems.

Due to the lower pressures involved the pipe work installation can be carried out using a variety of different materials such as copper pipe and even specialist plastic pipe work.
