Water Mist
DuraQuench® Pumped Water Mist Fire Suppression
Water is the safe, natural way to extinguish a fire. But, it can cause significant collateral damage to buildings and their contents. High pressure water mist systems limit the damage, but they do so at great financial cost, often at higher cost than even chemical or inert gas systems. DuraQuench® pumped water mist system brings the benefits of water mist fire suppression within reach of most budgets and over the widest possible range of applications.
Economical
- The heart of the DuraQuench system is a skid-mounted centrifugal pump which operates at much lower pressures than other water mist systems (175 psi vs. 2,000 psi).
- Lower pressure means lower cost – as much as 60% lower cost than other water mist systems.
Versatile
- The DuraQuench system is approved for a wide range of applications including light hazard/HC-1, turbine enclosures and machinery spaces.
- DuraQuench provides maximum freedom when it comes to pipe, fittings, valves and other accessories. Copper, stainless and CPVC pipe are all options, and they can be sourced from your preferred local suppliers.
- Water can be supplied from a reservoir or a building’s water main, providing the potential for unlimited discharge times.
MICROMIST® Fire Suppression System
Effective water mist fire protection.
The Fike Micromist® fire suppression system produces a fine mist to extinguish fires quickly with very little residual water. In fact, the Micromist system releases 100 times less water than traditional sprinkler systems, yet effectively extinguishes the fire. That translates into less run-off, less damage and easy clean-up.
The Fike Micromist fire protection system employs single fluid, intermediate pressure – which reduces installation and maintenance costs associated with redundant and high-pressure piping networks / fittings. Offered in two convenient cylinder size configurations, Micromist is a self-contained (great for applications with or without an available water source), single-fluid, pre-engineered water mist fire suppression system and comes pre-assembled, tested and packaged with all necessary valves and actuation components for system operation (system nozzles must be ordered separately). That’s portability, reliability and simple installation in one easy package.
In addition, because the Fike Micromist system uses water it is naturally environmentally safe, non-toxic and people friendly. Combine Micromist with the intelligent, peer-to-peer speed of the Cheetah Xi detection and control system and you have a cost-effective, fast fire protection system ideally suited for total compartment protection of machinery spaces, compartmentalized gas turbine generators (FM approved) and many other applications.
