Watermist Applicator 126

The Watermist Applicator 126 (FI-WMA126) represents a revolutionary approach to fighting electric vehicle (EV) fires, specifically designed to address fires at their source — the lithium-ion battery pack. By applying water mist directly under or near the vehicle, the system enables rapid cooling and effective suppression where EV fires most commonly originate.

This patented solution delivers controlled, high-efficiency water mist that significantly reduces heat, slows thermal runaway, and limits fire escalation, improving safety for first responders while minimizing damage to vehicles and surrounding infrastructure.

Performance and Application

The FI-WMA126 is engineered for direct under-vehicle deployment, allowing responders to cool the battery enclosure without needing immediate vehicle penetration.

• Targets EV battery fires at the source

• Rapid temperature reduction through fine water mist

• Improves control during early and developed fire stages

• Designed for single-operator use

Its compact and mobile design makes it especially suitable for parking garages, ferries, tunnels, and other confined or high-risk environments.

Watermist Output and Flow Performance

At 4 bar water pressure, each unit produces a highly effective water mist with a minimum output of 137 liters per minute, ensuring strong cooling performance without excessive water usage.

Water Consumption by Pressure
