Low Pressure - Water Mist System (LP-WM)

The Low Pressure Water Mist Technology reduces the consumption of water by up to 85% compared to classic sprinkler systems. Prior to this system it was only possible to achieve this reduction with high pressure fine spray extinguishing systems that usually operate at pressures between 100 and 140 bar. The Low Presure Water Mist System achieves fire control with operating pressures of less than 16 bar.

The LP-WM System is similar in function and structure to a conventional sprinkler system making it very simple to understand. In addition, as the design and installation is similar to a conventional sprinkler system the end-user will benefit from all the skills and experience of the licensed installer INGENIAL.

The LP-WM System sprinklers are fast responding [RTI (Response Time Index) smaller than 50 and so respond quickly to a fire situation. In the event of a fire, only the water mist sprinklers in the immediate vicinity of the fire are activated Once the sprinklers activate the alarm valve opens up and the main pump is activated automatically. The water is sprayed through the open sprinklers onto the fire and begins to control it. At the same time an alarm is transmitted to the control and monitoring panel and often directly to a manned post and/or the fire service. The installation layout of the LP-WM system is very flexible as it can also be combined with other extinguishing systems such as hydrant systems and can be connected to the water supply of existing extinguishing systems, operating water networks and even drinking water pipelines. It is also possible to connect it to a classic fire brigade connection.

INGENIAL is a licensed dealer of the VIKING-EconAqua water mist sprinkler systems and of the TYCO-ULF (Ultra Low Flow) technology.

These systems can be used to cover several fire hazard classes as defined in the VdS guidelines for sprinkler systems (VdS CEA 4001) or NFPA-750. Furthermore the EconAqua Technology include fire hazard classes LH, OH1 (except production hazards), and OH2 (only surface and underground car parks).
