Water Mist Systems
The HI-FOG Water Mist Fire Protection System can be used in place of deluge, gas, foam, dry chemical, traditional sprinkler and any other type of fixed fire protection system. It is efficient against most types of fires.
HI-FOG controls, suppresses and extinguishes fires by discharging a fine water mist at high velocity. The water mist is made by the system when it activates: it pushes the plain, potable water at high pressure through specially designed, patented HI-FOG sprinkler and spray heads. The water mist is discharged at high velocity by high-pressure pumps or accumulators.
HI-FOG uses three mechanisms to fight fire: cooling, radiant heat blocking and local oxygen inerting. Traditional sprinkler systems use wetting as their main mechanism, and therefore use very large amounts of water.
HI-FOG uses water much more efficiently: it uses up to 90% less water than traditional sprinkler systems for the same application with equivalent or better performance.
EDI Fire Systems continues to break new ground in water-based fire protection systems, while caring for your assets and business continuity. The HI-FOG Water Mist Fire Protection System helps ensure buildings and their occupants are kept safe from fire while maintaining business continuity. HI-FOG is ideal for both new buildings and retrofitting older buildings.
