Water Mist Fire Suppression System

Water mist removes heat from a fire by discharging fine water droplets. In an automatically activated system, smoke detection raises the fire alarm, and the fire alarm panel then sends a signal to trigger the suppression system. This type of system is not another name for FM200 or fire gas. Water mist uses water, while gas-based systems use a different extinguishing agent.

It is used in places where a fire can cause major damage or financial loss. The system must suit the fire risk and the equipment in the protected area:

It is primarily used for Class A fires, which involve solids such as paper, wood and plastics. Any proposed use on electrical equipment or other classes needs checking against the specific system's suitability, rather than assuming every system can handle it. We confirm this with the system's data sheet and your risk before we quote.

It has three advantages that matter to buyers:

Safe operation depends on selecting and installing a system suited to the site. Compare it with the alternatives before you decide. A fire sprinkler system suits most buildings and uses more water. A gas system, described on our fire gas page, puts out a fire without water. It sits between them, and we advise on the fit room by room.

Some suppliers claim the system is cheaper than a sprinkler system, or that it controls a fire in under 10 seconds. Neither should be taken as true for every site. The cost depends on the proposed installation, and the control time depends on the selected system and the fire risk. We give both in writing for your site, and we do not promise a universal fire-control time.

We supply, install and service these systems in Hyderabad and Visakhapatnam. The job covers:

This kind of system needs regular attention to stay ready. At each service visit we check the water supply and pressure, the nozzles for blockage, the detection and the signal to the alarm panel, and we run the checks the manufacturer sets for that system. Mist nozzles have fine openings, so scale and debris in the water matter more than they do in a sprinkler. Any change to the room, such as new equipment or partitions, is reviewed against the original design.

Builders and architects planning data rooms or control rooms should consider water mist when a gas system is not suitable, and bring us in before walls and ceilings are fixed. Industries with UPS and switch rooms, commercial building owners with server rooms, and hospital owners with plant and UPS rooms should check the system against the hazard first, because mist suits some risks and not others. MEP consultants can send the room and hazard details and we check water mist against the specification. Corporates use it in UPS and server areas where suitable. Defence establishments, including Navy and Army control and communication rooms, can ask us to review it against their risk, and we quote within their vendor rules.
