Water Mist Systems

Nationwide Fire Sprinklers now offer water mist fire suppression installations to BSDD8458.

We are helping this fledgling field of fire protection to establish safe designs and working practices to develop a practical and functional water mist fire suppression installation suitable for domestic and residential requirements.

Cost benefits for water mist systems come from the efficient use of more limited water supplies often found in domestic properties where we can use the existing mains water supplies direct or smaller stored water capacities than with standard sprinkler installations.

With the introduction of the DD from the British Standards Institute we now have a document to measure the performance of our product against and to give our customers the comfort of knowing their water mist installation has been designed and fitted correctly.

How Water Mist Fire Suppression works.

In water mist systems, water is forced through micro nozzles to form a water mist with the most effective fire fighting droplet size.

The water mist can give optimum protection by its cooling effect and also by the "inerting" or elimination of oxygen effect as water expands by a factor of 1700 when it evaporates.

Thus when water mist comes into contact with the fire - heat and oxygen, 2 of the essential ingredients of fire are much reduced or eliminated.

Less water is required in water mist systems than with conventional fire sprinklers systems.

Water mist systems are almost like the spray from an aerosol where conventional sprinklers are more like the water coming from a domestic shower.
