What is a water mist system?

Water Mist Systems Advantages

• Environmentally Safe – Water mist systems are the original clean agent system that is safe for occupied spaces, are non toxic and do not harm the environment.
• Less Fire and Water Damage – Fogex® has faster fire extinguishment using less water and minimized fire related damage to hazard areas and downtime.
• Uses Less Water Than Conventional Sprinklers – Water consumption is about 90% less than conventional sprinkler systems.
• Works Well in High Release Hazards – High heat release hazards are ideal for optional water mist operation.
• Works Well With Unenclosed Openings – The effectiveness of water mist is not affected by unclosable openings or doors left open during a system discharge in total flood hazard areas. Sealing of rooms is not required.
• Applications – FM® approved for machinery spaces, oil storage rooms, generators, transformer vaults, diesel generator rooms, and combustion turbine enclosures up to 17,000 cu Ft (500 cu meters).
