The small droplet size has large reaction surface which makes the absorption of heat very efficient.

Test Result

WM system activates

Effective cooling reduces the temperature of the fire in a very short time. Temperature away from the source drops below re-ignition temperature. Safer environment during fire activation.


Advantages of Water Mist

Less water required / usage.Typically uses 10% of the volume of water required by a sprinkler system.

Less damage.Water mist is not a deluge system, it smothers fire by means of droplet expansion.

Less down time after a fire in a production environment.

Typically equipment with a IP24 rating or greater will not even be affected by water mist.

Easier installationPipe work diameters are substantially smaller than required by a sprinkler system.


Scale of Water Damage


Suitable Applications for Water Mist

Libraries Hotels Hospitals

Typical applications and benefits for Water Mist. Suppressing the fire to prevent spread. Absorbing smoke to keep clean air available to breathe. Allows more time for evacuation.


Suitable Applications for Water Mist – Cont.

Transformer SubstationUnderground Tunnel

Typical applications – Cont. Less down time after activation. Absorbing smoke to decrease damage. Less water consumed. Keep temperatures low and maintain high visibility. Easier to recover and resume activity.


Why Choose Hydrocore



Advanced Technology – Delivery Pump

• 9 – Plunger rotary pumpMore consistent flowNo maintenance requiredSelf-cooling

P60 and P6 Water Hydraulic Delivery Pumps. Manufactured completely from 316 Stainless Steel.Delivering between 8 - 100 LTR/MIN each.


Advanced Technology – Pump Unit

• The XSWB range of water mist pump units offer delivery systems from 8 LTR/MIN up to 700 LTR/MIN – 80Bar up to 140Bar.


Advanced Technology - Valve

Electrically operated valve.More reliable than a pneumatic valve.

Pneumatic valve requires an air source.More reliable than solenoid valve

Solenoid valves have a high possibility of false positives.
