Over the last dacade, studies on water mist technology have significantly increased. A survey carried out by Mawhinney and Richardson in 1996 indicated that nearly 50 agencies around the world are involved in the research and development of water mist fire suppression systems, ranging from theoretical investigations into extinguishing mechanisms and computer modeling to the development, patenting, and manufacturing of mist-generating equipment. These recent studies have shown that water mist technologies have the potential either to replace current fire protection techniques that are no longer environmentally acceptable, or to provide new answers to problems where traditional technologies have not been as effective as desired.

Water mist fights fires using smallest droplets of pure water. By atomising water, the reaction surface area of the water is increased by more than 200-fold compared to the one of a conventional sprinkler. Our high-pressure mist systems use extra-small Class I droplets in accordance with NFPA 750. Using pressures between 50 and 200 bar, the water can be atomised effectively. 

The effectiveness of a water mist system in suppressing a fire is directly related to the spray characteristics produced by the nozzles. Rabash, in his early study, gave a detailed list of the important parameters of water sprays for fire suppression. These are:

  • Mean flow rate per unit area in the fire region,
  • Distribution of flow rate in and about the fire area,
  • Direction of application,
  • Droplet size and distribution
  • Entrained air velocity, and
  • Droplet velocity relative to entrained air, flame velocity and fuel type
