What is water mist?

Water mist is a fine spray of tiny droplets used in sprinkler systems for fire suppression.

Why are fine mist sprinkler systems so effective?

The water molecules in a fine mist evaporate, providing rapid, high-level cooling and slowing combustion more effectively than traditional sprinkler systems, which use water under pressure.

How do mist fire suppression systems work?

In Armstrong Priestley’s water mist systems, sprinkler heads are activated by increases in environmental temperature to discharge water mist at high pressure.

The volume of the droplets rapidly creates a large cooling surface area with the pressurised fine mist penetrating the flames to reach the locus of the fire.

The water mist becomes a vapour, absorbing the heat of the flames and depriving them of the oxygen they need to spread.

Why are fire suppression systems using high-pressure water mist ideal for homes?

Mist systems are activated automatically without human intervention, protecting your property when it is unoccupied or when residents are asleep.
