AquaMist ULF for Archive and Library Protection

Reduced Damage with Cost-effective Solutions

Archives and libraries are repositories of historical records, holding unique and valuable documents and artifacts that provide insight into an individual or organization's function and activities. These records are selected for preservation due to their enduring cultural, historical, educational, or evidentiary value.

These spaces face significant challenges when it comes to fire protection, in particular in existing heritage buildings. The tightly packed storage arrangements and natural flue spaces can promote fire spread, while limited access and egress, low ceilings, and underground spaces complicate firefighting efforts. Effective archive and library fire protection solutions must minimize water usage while swiftly extinguishing fires.

AquaMist ULF Benefits:

  • Ideal for retrofit: compact equipment can fit into heritage and other existing buildings – uses smaller pump and tank than high-pressure water mist alternatives
  • Reduce complexity and cost: can share a water supply with a fire sprinkler system protecting other, less sensitive parts of a building
  • Cost-effective solution: provides the benefits of water mist combined with a more cost-effective solution than high-pressure mist systems
