Water Mist Extinguishers to Prevent Disasters

A Watermist / CAFS system is a fire protection system that makes use of fine water sprays to extinguish fire. With Kanex’s Watermist System, the power of water is rapidly duplicated through the extensive use of Watermist technology.

A water mist extinguisher is a fire protection equipment that uses fine water particles to douse a fire. The small droplets help control the fire by reducing the temperature of the flame and the surrounding atmosphere.

The water mist fire extinguisher has proved to be more effective compared to the traditional water fire extinguishers. Unlike the stream of water, the spray of the water mist system can reduce the temperature of the flame through faster evaporation. That helps to displace the surrounding oxygen far more effectively. As this type of fire suppression system uses water as the extinguishing component, it does not pose any toxic threats.

The Special Nozzle which we are using produces over 22 billion water droplets from only 1 liter of water. These droplets are as small as 25 microns in diameter and create an ultra-fine mist which has superior fire-fighting capabilities.

Types of Water Mist Fire Extinguisher

Here are a couple of water mist extinguishers that you can get for your home or office space.

Water Mist backpack extinguisher

It is a portable fire extinguishing unit that reduces the response time significantly. The backpack CAFS system improves accessibility and enables the firefighters to reach the areas that are unacceptable otherwise. The CAFS is ideal as a first intervention system in emergency vehicles, trucks, Industries, etc.

Trolley Mounted Water Mist Extinguishers

As the name suggests this type of extinguisher comes with a trolley. The trolley-mounted system makes these extinguishers ideal for managing fire in construction sites and warehouses where the inflammable materials are processed or stored.

Principle of Operation

The small water droplets enable the water mist in controlling and suppressing fires by three methods. They are:

  • By cooling the flames and encompassing the gas by evaporation
  • Reducing radiant heat by the little water droplets
  • Displacing oxygen by evaporation

Why Use the Water Mist Extinguishers?

  • It offers better penetration to the seat of flame.
  • Offers superior coverage.
  • Ensures improved cooling rates through accelerated evaporation rate.
  • Requires less water to handle a fire.
  • Lowers the overall system weight significantly.

If you are thinking about getting a fire extinguisher, then there is nothing better than the water mist ones. Give us a call or write to us today.

FAQs

What Is a Water Mist Extinguisher Used For?
A water mist extinguisher is used to control fires by releasing ultra-fine water droplets that cool flames, reduce heat, and displace oxygen. It is effective for Class A, B, F, and electrical fires and is safe for people, equipment, and sensitive areas because it uses clean, non-toxic water mist.
Water mist extinguishers are recommended for areas where quick, safe, and clean fire suppression is needed, such as homes, offices, industries, warehouses, emergency vehicles, and construction sites. Their fine mist offers fast cooling, better coverage, and safe operation without toxic residue, making them ideal for various fire risks
A Water Mist Fire Extinguisher is suitable for Class A fires (wood, paper), Class B fires (flammable liquids), Class C fires (gases after isolation), electrical fires involving live equipment, and Class K fires caused by cooking oils and fats. Its fine mist cools flames and reduces oxygen safely.
Yes, water mist extinguishers are safe for electrical fires. The deionized water and fine mist reduce electrical conductivity, making them suitable for use on live electrical equipment up to approved voltage limits.
Yes, water mist extinguishers are approved by recognized fire safety standards. In India, they are designed and manufactured to comply with BIS / IS standards.
The benefits of water mist include fast cooling, reduced oxygen supply to the fire, and minimal water usage. It produces fine droplets that offer better coverage and faster extinguishing. Water mist is non-toxic, leaves no residue, and is safe for people, equipment, and sensitive environments like hospitals and kitchens.
The colour code for a water mist fire extinguisher is red. It may have additional labeling indicating “Water Mist,” but the main body remains red as per standard fire extinguisher colour coding.
Water mist fire extinguishers help reduce fire damage by releasing extremely fine droplets that cool flames quickly and lower surrounding temperatures. The mist also reduces oxygen near the fire and prevents re-ignition. Since it uses less water and leaves no residue, it protects sensitive equipment, surfaces, and property from secondary damage.

A water mist extinguisher releases ultra-fine droplets that cool the fire quickly and displace oxygen, making it suitable for more fire types, including electrical and hot oil risks. A traditional water extinguisher uses a direct water stream and is mainly suitable for Class A fires, with limited safety around electrical equipment.
