What is the rating for Watermist in gallons per minute?

The rating for Watermist at 230 gallons per minute reflects the optimal flow rate necessary for effective fire suppression in environments where Watermist systems are deployed. This flow rate is a critical aspect of how these systems are designed to operate, ensuring that the mist generated can effectively cool and displace the oxygen around a fire, thus enhancing the firefighting capabilities without causing excessive water damage.

Watermist systems rely on creating fine water droplets, which can absorb heat from the fire more effectively than a standard water stream. This specific flow rate of 230 gallons per minute balances the need for sufficient water delivery while minimizing potential complications such as system overload or insufficient mist dispersion. Understanding this rating is essential for operational readiness and ensures that personnel are trained to operate the system effectively in emergency situations.
