Water Mist Deluge Systems

Merlin supply a range of different water mist systems to suit a variety of different types of fire hazard, and with specific accreditations where required by the application.

We work with manufacturers all over the world, to source and supply the latest cutting-edge technologies in water mist fire suppression.

From our base in County Kildare, we are perfectly placed to provide these technologies to customers across the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland, without delay.

What is a Water Mist System?

A water mist system works by directly dousing fires with a fine mist of water. This damps the fire to extinguish the flames, while also providing several additional protective effects:

• Reduces heat levels in flames and surrounding vapours
• Displaces oxygen to starve the fire of a vital ingredient
• Prevents radiant heat from affecting adjacent areas

Water mist systems are not ‘one size fits all’, so it is important to get your premises assessed by Merlin’s expert engineers, so that we can recommend the correct system for your site.

What Affects the Effectiveness of Water Mist Systems?

The real-terms effectiveness of water mist systems depends on a number of variables:

• The capacity of the system
• The conditions of the fire
• The characteristics of the water spray

Under different circumstances, different sprays can be more and less effective. Again, we provide a full inspection of your premises before installation, so that we can recommend the best solution for the conditions you are likely to face in the future.

More Benefits of Water Mist Systems

As well as the primary benefits in terms of containing and tackling fires, water mist systems offer a long list of commercial advantages too.

They can be placed in areas of highest risk, to contain any fires quickly and effectively, and to prevent damage to adjacent areas.

Installation is easy, with little to no disruption to your business operations, and does not require significant structural changes to your buildings.

After use, water mist systems can be restored at very low cost, so in the event of activation, you do not lose the value of the system itself.

Water mist systems support environmental commitments, as they use only about one tenth of the water consumed by a traditional overhead sprinkler system.

This is much more resource-efficient, while it also reduces collateral water damage during activation, helping to minimise any losses in the event of a fire.
