The Right Water Mist System to Match the Risk
Water mist systems, also known as fire mist systems or mist sprinkler systems, are advanced fire suppression technologies that offer versatile and efficient protection across various applications. These systems utilise specialised nozzles to produce a fine mist of water droplets, effectively controlling or extinguishing fires while minimising water usage.
The effectiveness of water mist systems lies in their ability to combat fires through three primary mechanisms: cooling the flame and surrounding gases, displacing oxygen by vaporising water droplets, and wetting surfaces to prevent re-ignition. This multifaceted approach makes them suitable for tackling Class A (solid combustibles), Class B (flammable liquids), and Class F (cooking oils and fats) fires.
Johnson Controls offers a range of water mist solutions under our AquaMist® brand, including both low-pressure and high-pressure systems. The AquaMist ULF (Ultra Low Flow) system is ideal for commercial and industrial applications, providing effective fire suppression with reduced water consumption. Conversely, the AquaMist FOG system operates at higher pressures, making it suitable for protecting critical machinery spaces and turbines.
One of the significant advantages of mist sprinkler systems is their minimal water usage compared to traditional sprinkler systems. This not only reduces potential water damage to property but also makes them environmentally friendly and cost-effective. Additionally, their compact design and lower water requirements make them suitable for buildings with limited water supply or storage capacity.

Water Mist Fire Suppression White Paper
Sometimes, less is more. Water mist fire suppression systems typically use less water than traditional sprinkler systems, which means less damage to high-value assets, from commercial and retail inventory to works of art in museums and libraries. Water mist systems can be used as an optimum solution for nearly every class of fire and in many kinds of facilities and applications.
This white paper outlines mist technology, its applications, and surveys three AquaMist solutions developed by Johnson Controls.
