Water Mist Fights Fire in Three Ways.

Fire needs three elements to ignite and burn: heat, oxygen, and fuel. A high-pressure water mist system fights fire through both primary and secondary mechanisms which affect these three elements.

Primary mechanisms

• Cooling gases

• Displacing oxygen and flammable vapors

• Wetting the fuel

Secondary mechanisms

• Suppressing heat radiation from fire

• Weakening kinetic energy from fire

The HI-FOG water mist system fights fire on many fronts. This makes it an effective fire suppression system against different types of fires, including both solid and liquid-based fires.®

Benefits of high-pressure water mist systems

When water is fed through HI-FOG sprinklers at high pressure, it produces fine water mist. High-pressure water mist has many benefits:

• High pressure produces a larger water mist surface area than low-pressure sprinkler systems. A larger surface area is more effective.

• Powerful heat-absorbing capability prevents the fire from spreading and makes evacuation safer.

• Small droplet size makes vaporization effective, and oxygen is displaced efficiently.

• Effective vaporization cools down hot combustion gases. This protects the area surrounding the fire from heat damage.

Less water, more efficiency with high-pressure water mist systems

Fire testing has shown that HI-FOG water mist systems used significantly less water to suppress fires compared to a traditional sprinkler system.

Water is a valuable natural resource and should not be wasted. With the HI-FOG system, you can protect yourself and your property while conserving nature. What’s more, in some locations extra water might not be readily available, so preserving water can be a necessity.
