Firefighting Water Spray & Mist Systems
Water-Based Fire Suppression Systems
Water spray and mist systems are effective fire protection solutions that use water as the extinguishing agent. These systems operate by discharging water in specific patterns through specially designed nozzles, either as conventional sprays or as fine water mist.
These systems are environmentally friendly, cost-effective, and provide excellent fire suppression capabilities for a wide range of applications.
System Types
Automatic Sprinkler Systems
Automatic sprinkler systems use a network of pipes and sprinkler heads that are activated individually when heat from a fire is detected. These systems provide localized protection by only activating sprinklers in the affected area.
Water Mist Systems
Water mist systems use specialized nozzles to produce very fine water droplets, creating a mist that efficiently absorbs heat, displaces oxygen, and suppresses fires while using significantly less water than traditional sprinkler systems.
