How Water Mist Fire Suppression Systems Work
Oltec FM's water mist fire suppression systems are built to strict British standards (BS EN 14972), combating fire quickly while consuming up to 10% less water than traditional sprinkler systems, an efficient and eco friendly choice for demanding environments in Elstree and Borehamwood, Hertfordshire. Integrated fire detection ensures rapid activation the moment a fire starts. Three mechanisms drive suppression: damping fuel to prevent flames spreading further, cooling heat as fine water droplets evaporate and absorb energy from the fire, and displacing oxygen directly at the source to create steam and a localised inert atmosphere. Unlike traditional sprinklers, these systems minimise water damage, making them ideal for environments such as data centres and heritage buildings.
Water Mist Fire Suppression System Installation
Oltec Services carefully assesses the size, layout and combustible materials of every premises in Elstree and Borehamwood, Hertfordshire before installing a water mist fire suppression system, ensuring maximum protection with minimal disruption to ongoing operations. Systems are fitted in high risk locations to deliver the most effective suppression possible, with installations fully compliant with British standards (BS EN 14972). Tailored designs require fewer sprinkler heads, reducing both complexity and maintenance costs, while rapid activation helps contain fires before they spread. Because these systems use up to 10% less water than traditional sprinklers, reinstatement costs and downtime fall significantly, allowing industrial sites, heritage buildings and commercial kitchens to resume operations sooner after an incident.
