A Water Mist System is a type of fire protection system that uses fine water droplets to extinguish fires. Water mist systems work by creating a mist of very small water droplets that absorb heat from the fire, reduce the oxygen concentration in the air, and displace combustible gases and vapours, ultimately extinguishing the fire.

Water mist systems are commonly used in a variety of applications, such as data centres, museums, hospitals, and other places where water damage from conventional sprinkler systems may be a concern. Water mist systems are also used in industrial settings, such as power plants, chemical facilities, and oil and gas refineries.

Water mist systems can be classified into two types: high-pressure and low-pressure systems. High-pressure systems use pumps to create a fine mist of water droplets, typically with a droplet size of less than 100 microns, which allows the mist to penetrate into small gaps and crevices. Low-pressure systems, on the other hand, typically use a combination of water and air to create a mist, and are often used for local applications or in areas where water damage is a concern.

Water mist systems can be designed to be automatic or manual, and are often integrated with fire detection and alarm systems to provide a complete fire protection solution. They are highly effective in extinguishing fires and can significantly reduce water damage compared to traditional sprinkler systems, making them a popular choice for a variety of applications.
