The water mist system is a smart way of using water to fight fires. It uses very tiny water droplets to extinguish or control fires. A water mist system is a fire suppression technology that works by cutting off oxygen to the fire by spraying water through specialized nozzles when fire alarms are triggered.
Water is released at high pressure through small openings, effectively reducing temperatures and cooling flammable substances that fuel fires. These droplets are really small, ranging from 1000 microns to just 10 microns. These systems come with various types of nozzles to suit different applications and are equipped with high-pressure pumps that automatically activate when a temperature increase is detected, rather than relying on preset heat thresholds.
Installing water mist systems is particularly advantageous for safeguarding large buildings and industrial facilities. Designed with care, these systems minimize damage and swiftly address fire outbreaks, offering immediate protection. Water mist systems are great because they are versatile, efficient, and eco-friendly. They put out fires quickly, causing less damage and using less water than traditional sprinkler systems. They can be used for different types of fires, like Class A and B. There are different ways to set up the system, depending on where it’s being used. This includes things like pumps, valves, nozzles, pipes, and fittings.

Working of Water Mist System
Water is sprayed at high pressure through fine apertures, making it extremely effective at lowering temperatures and cooling gaseous or other combustible chemicals that cause fires. The water-mist system we provide, with several types of apertures available based on intended use, is backed by high-pressure pumps that are immediately engaged when the system detects a temperature rise in comparison to the typically established heat temperature. Installing these is very important for securing large buildings and industrial operations. Our water mist systems are thus carefully developed to mitigate damage and respond to fire outbreaks as soon as possible.
A water mist system uses little water sprays to shield you from fires. In three different methods, these delicate water sprays can contain and put out fires.
- The mist first cools the flame and gases in the surrounding through evaporation.
- The mist can displace oxygen through evaporation. Hence, combustion comes to an end.
- The tiny droplets of water also reduce the impact of the surrounding heat
The size of the water droplets employed in the water mist system is different from fire sprinkler systems. Both systems use water, but water mist systems contain smaller droplets that are less than 100 microns each in size.
Types of Water Mist Systems
Low Pressure Water Mist Systems
Intermediate Pressure Water Mist System
High-Pressure Water Mist System
Low Pressure Water Mist Systems
The distribution piping in low-pressure water mist systems is subjected to pressures of 12.1 bar (175 psi) or less.
Low-pressure water mist systems can be applied in a variety of situations to manage different levels of fire threat. These systems work best when there is a limited amount of water, either because of the shortage of water supply or because the end user is worried about the effects of water use on the environment.
Intermediate Pressure Water Mist System
Intermediate Pressure Water Mist systems have operating pressures greater than 12.1 bar (175 psi) but less than 34.5 bar (500 psi). Commonly Intermediate Pressure Water Mist systems are used in turbine enclosures, equipment areas, hydraulic pump rooms, and so on.
High Pressure Water Mist System
Water Mist Systems having operating pressures of 34.5 bar (500 psi) or above are referred to as high-pressure water mist systems.
Wermany specializes in delivering high-pressure water mist sprinkler systems for fire protection, across a wide range of buildings and industries. This system can be connected to various different forms of early fire detection and has the provision for immediate activation. With a quick response and low water consumption, this system saves valuable buildings, its occupants, and property.
Why do you need a water mist system in your building?
Water mist systems, that come with special nozzles that have been specifically created and extensively tested to assist guard against a variety of fire threats, are a flexible and highly effective fire protection option. Depending on the asset that needs to be protected, the system’s fine mist can either put out a fire or limit it from spreading at an early stage. Systems that use water mist aid in effectively cooling and controlling Class A fires, or in putting out Class B or Class F fires and preventing re-ignition. When the water mist droplets absorb the heat radiation from the fire, it has a cooling effect. This prevents and minimizes damage to people and property. Contact us today.

Benefits of a Water Mist System
- Water mist cooling systems provide faster cooling. This is so because steam has a higher rate of heat absorption than liquid water.
- Water mist systems require less cleaning after usage and do not leave behind as much water damage.
- Water mist systems quickly vaporize water to put out fires.
- The mist system uses steam to replace oxygen and fuel vapor while also moistening the fuel surface. These factors combine to make the water mist system more efficient.
- Water mist systems are less expensive than dry chemicals.
- Water mist systems are safer for the environment than conventional gaseous fire extinguishers like Halon.
FAQ – Water Mist System in Dubai
Water mist systems are effective against various types of fires, including Class A (ordinary combustibles), Class B (flammable liquids), and Class C (electrical) fires. They are versatile and suitable for many applications.
Water mist systems are often installed in environments where traditional fire suppression systems may not be suitable, such as data centers, electrical rooms, kitchens, museums, and heritage buildings. They are also used on ships and in offshore platforms.
Yes, water mist systems are generally safe for human exposure. The fine mist produced by these systems minimizes the risk of scalding or thermal shock. In fact, they can provide a safe escape route for building occupants during a fire.
Regular maintenance and inspections are essential to ensure the system functions correctly. This includes checking nozzles, pipes, pumps, and control panels, as well as conducting functional tests to verify proper operation.
Yes, water mist systems can often be retrofitted into existing buildings, but the feasibility and cost will depend on the building’s layout and requirements. It’s best to consult with a qualified fire protection company for an assessment.
