The benefits of water as a firefighting agent thanks to its ecological and clean character, combined with the adaptability of all components and overcoming the most demanding tests, making it one of the means of protection against the most demanding fire and fastest growing, fulfilling the following purposes depending on your application.

The key principle of fire suppression with water mist is COOLING, drastically reducing the fire heat. The smaller droplet size, compared to traditional equipment, results in a larger exchange surface, which enhances the absorption of heat energy and generates greater amounts of vapor, which results in an additional effect of Oxygen Displacement.

Depending on the application to be protected, VC designs its equipment for dry pipe, pre-action or wet pipe systems. DRY PIPE systems are those which are empty of water prior to detection and activation. They are installed with open nozzles. This mechanism can also be installed with closed nozzles, in which case it becomes a pre-action system. The pipe is filled with water after fire detection, but the nozzle discharges only when the temperature increases (as a result of the fire) and the heat-sensitive bulb of the spray nozzle breaks. This prevents false alarms and water mist is discharged only in the fire-affected area.

VC-WMTM is our water mist system that uses a diesel driven pump to propel the agent. This positive displacement pump can be operated automatically or manually to activate the firefighting system, which may consist, in turn, of one or more main pumps depending on the required flow. Installations where water needs to stay in the pipe (wet pipe systems) also feature a jockey pump.
