Water Mist is a versatile and highly efficient fire-fighting medium. What differentiates Water Mist from traditional water based systems is its reduced droplet size. When a droplet of water vaporises, it expands by some 1,600 times. Because heat absorption is a function of surface area and not volume, smaller droplets mean more surface area and therefore faster heat absorption.
Water Mist has the unique ability to deliver water as a fine atomised mist. This mist is quickly converted to steam that smothers the fire and prevents further oxygen from reaching it. At the same time, the evaporation creates a significant cooling effect of combustion gases and blocks the transfer of radiant heat. In this way, Water Mist combines the fire suppression properties of both conventional water-based deluge or sprinkler systems and gaseous fire suppression systems.

Automatic fire sprinkler systems are widely regarded as the most effective method of controlling fires caused by a broad range of hazards. Sprinkler fire systems work by using a water supply system that provides adequate pressure and flow rate to a water distribution piping system, to which sprinkler heads are connected. The sprinkler heads are installed in ceilings or side walls, and are designed to operate individually when exposed to heat.
Sprinkler systems can automatically detect a fire, transmit an alarm and control the fire. This can be the difference between a minor accident and a major business shutdown. Led by professional project managers, Gielle’s engineers design, install and commission reliable, cost-effective sprinkler systems by carefully analysing your buildings and facilities in terms of occupancy, operation and fire risk.
Deluge fire suppression systems use an open distribution pipe network, typically connected to a number of valves allowing for the relevant suppression agent to be released in specific areas. These systems are suitable for high-hazard areas where fire may spread rapidly or where water damage is not a concern.
Deluge fire suppression systems work by using an empty pipe system, meaning there is no water or other agent stored within the piping network. The water or agent is instead stored behind a control valve. A typical deluge system has a control valve, a dedicated water or agent supply, and a detection system.
When the detection system senses a fire, it activates the control valve, which opens and releases the water or agent into the piping network. The water or agent then flows through the open nozzles or sprinklers and discharges onto the fire. The system operates as one unit, meaning all the nozzles or sprinklers are activated at once.
