I wish I could protect
my business with
the most suitable
Water Mist solution
to fit my needs.
Wish granted!
AquaMist helps to keep people, property and

the environment safe with high performance fire
protection products.
I wish I could choose from

the broadest industry
approved range
When designing a fire protection system, the challenge is to

select the right solution to match the risk. Johnson Controls has
the broadest range of fire protection products on the market,
including sprinklers, clean agent systems, Water Mist and others.
The AquaMist product range includes globally approved Water Mist solutions backed by over 100 years of expertise in fire
protection. AquaMist offers a broad range of systems to help you find the most suitable fire suppression solution for
a wide variety of fire risks.
The fine water mist generated is designed to extinguish fires, or limit fire growth at an early stage, depending on the asset
being protected. AquaMist provides effective cooling and fire control on solid, deep-seated fires such as furniture, paper
and cables (Class A). On fires such as lubricants or fuels (Class B) or cooking oils (Class F) AquaMist provides complete
extinguishment and prevention of re-ignition. In all cases, AquaMist cools the surrounding area, limiting the spread of fire.
The AquaMist system benefits include a reduction of up to five times in the water required (when compared to standard
sprinkler systems), while providing a superior firefighting capability on applicable Class A, B and F fires.
AquaMist systems are a versatile and highly efficient
fire-fighting resource, featuring unique nozzles, which
have been designed and rigorously tested to protect
against a wide range of fire risks.
AquaMist systems offer an innovative and easy to use water-based fire suppression solution which is dependable, safe and
carries comprehensive industry approvals. All AquaMist solutions have been tested by an independent third party.
Selecting the most appropriate Water Mist solution is not only about extinguishing the fire, it is about protecting the contents
of the building and minimizing water damage. It is also about optimizing budgets and protecting the reputation of the specifier.

A complete engineered solution including pumps, valves,
discharge nozzles, pipes and fittings, all designed to
function as one dedicated fire protection system.
The system operates at working pressures of 7 to 12 bar,
producing droplets of water through a range of nozzles,
specifically engineered and approved for a variety of fire hazards.
AquaMist ULF systems are supplied through authorized partners.
Droplet Sizes
100-200 µm
1,000 µm
ULF
Sprinkler
The ULF system is suitable for a variety of applications, including machinery

protection, data centers, cable tunnels, offices, hotels and industrial fryers.
The AquaMist ULF training modules provide complete design, technical,

commercial and life cycle knowledge. Authorized partners are
fully supported by our technical services team and all
fire suppression products are manufactured to the highest quality.
Benefits of a low pressure Water Mist system include lower water

demands, translating into lower pressure losses, smaller diameter pipes
and lower installation costs when compared to traditional sprinkler
systems. As the system uses only water without additives, it produces
no adverse environmental impact.
Benefits:
• Equally as effective as high pressure solutions
• Lower electrical requirements
• No high pressure piping and fittings
• Suitable for stand-alone solutions and installations with limited electricity supply
FOG
AquaMist FOG systems reduce the consumption of

water and pipe diameters required whilst providing
a fast and efficient method of fire protection for
class A and B fires.
AquaMist FOG provides outstanding fire suppression protection

for turbine and transformer rooms, engine test cells, diesel engines
and alternators, paint spray booths and mechanical escalators.
Droplet Sizes
50 µm
FOG 1,000 µm
Sprinkler
The system operates at working pressures of 70 to 200 bar to produce

droplets of water with small diameters, which discharge at high speeds.
For each different protected hazard, optimized nozzles have been developed
and tested. AquaMist FOG is based on principles of well-established hydraulic
technology. Spray heads are designed to discharge water in the form of Water
Mist, with tiny droplets creating a large effective cooling surface area of the
fire and surrounding volume. The high speed of the droplets allows the mist
to penetrate the hot fumes and reach the combustion area quickly. AquaMist
FOG systems are available as either a pre-engineered cylinder system or
engineered pumped system, and provide a versatile fire protection solution.
AquaMist FOG systems are one of the best options when piping dimensions
or pressure losses are critical, for example in applications such as heritage
buildings, libraries and archives, where fragile structures require preserving
from water damage.
Benefits:
• Ideal when piping dimensions are a problem
• Ideal when pressure losses are critical
• Quick discharge of Water Mist on combustible areas
SONIC
The AquaMist SONIC system is a revolution in Class B fire protection and features
100% machined stainless steel construction for superior strength, no internal moving
parts for extreme dependability and multiple mounting options for ease of installation.
The system is fast extinguishing with high-volume, high-velocity discharge

which quickly fills spaces. It is also more efficient and uses one-third the water
of comparable high pressure systems. As operating pressure is under 8 bar,
this proves that one does not need high pressure to generate the smallest droplet
sizes. This system is listed and approved for the protection of flammable liquid
hazards (FM) and extinguished all fire scenarios in the FM Protocol 5580.
It is FM approved for spaces ranging from 4,591 to 36,727 cubic feet
(volumes up to 1,040 cubic metres).
Droplet Sizes
10 µm
SONIC 1,000 µm
Sprinkler
Benefits: This system utilizes non-toxic and readily available extinguishing media
(water and nitrogen). The AquaMist SONIC twin-fluid technology is safe
• Provides a solution to ventilation
for people and is environmentally friendly.
• Facilitates protection of higher
height risks It is constructed of industry proven, components including an ASME/
TPED approved stainless steel water storage tank. Capable of automatic
• Can protect highly-obstructed areas
detection and actuation and/or remote manual actuation, the system
• Protects volumes without the need is installed and serviced by authorized distributors. Just two supersonic
for power or pump arrangement atomizers create 1.5 trillion superfine water droplets per second, producing
a combined surface area of 121 m2 (1302 ft2). This is equivalent to covering
the surface of an Olympic-size soccer field in one minute.
Additionally, the atomizers propel the droplets at high velocity throughout

the combustion zone providing rapid fire knock-down. The atomizer is
the key to the effectiveness of the AquaMist Sonic system. Supersonic
technology generates a high-velocity, low-pressure zone that draws a thin
sheet of water into a primary atomization region. A conical supersonic wave
then creates a zone of extreme acceleration and high shear-rate, breaking
the sheet into atomized droplets.
Global strength. Local expertise.
At your service.
