How does Automist compare to fire sprinklers
How Automist Works
When triggered by a connected detector, all the spray heads in the area will begin scanning. They start measuring the temperatures within the room using an infrared sensor. The scan is looking for an exceptionally high-temperature reading or a differential increase between scans. All heads which locate a fire during a scan are then compared to see which has the best view.
A selected spray head will lock onto the desired location and activate the high-pressure pump, driving mains water through the unique nozzle unit, quickly directing a dense fog into the location of the fire. Our spray heads are wall-mounted (around light switch height) to avoid ineffective evaporation in the hot layer in the ceiling and the upward flow of hot combustion products. Automist leverages the natural turbulence the fire creates and seeks to ensure watermist is entrained into the seat of the fire.
