Solution benefits
The Unitor water mist system provides reliable fire protection based on the newest technology. It gives you a number of advantages, such as:


Compact design
The Unitor water mist system uses water from the vessel’s fresh water tank, with a backup connection for seawater. No dedicated storage space is required, increasing the overall productive space available on your vessel.


Low water consumption
The water mist nozzle has fire suppression and water distribution capabilities similar to those of high pressure systems. This means low power demand, and minimal water damage and clean-up cost


Higher safety level
The XFlow® nozzle soaks the affected area(s) with a penetrating mist that extinguishes the fire quickly. The Unitor water mist will not harm crew and machinery.
 
Using standard components
The Unitor water mist system uses a water mist nozzle with low working pressure and low water flow. The pipe system components such as fittings and valves are standard components, keeping installation and maintenance costs low.
