What does the Water Mist system utilize for fire suppression?

The Water Mist system utilizes high pressure fresh water for fire suppression because it operates on the principle of converting water into tiny droplets through high-pressure nozzles. This finely atomized water creates a mist that effectively cools the fire and displaces oxygen around the flames, leading to fire suppression. The small size of the droplets increases the surface area of the water, allowing for more efficient heat absorption and reducing the temperature quickly. The mist also helps to minimize water damage since it can provide fire suppression with significantly less water compared to traditional sprinkler systems. This method is particularly effective for various types of fires, especially in settings where minimizing collateral damage is crucial.
