[...] les extincteurs à brouillard d'eau à pression permanente [...] utilisent de l'eau désionisée comme agent et sont dotés d'un ajutage qui produit une fine pulvérisation au lieu d'un jet plein. [...] La fine pulvérisation accroît les pouvoirs refroidisseurs et mouillants de l'eau et réduit la dispersion des matières en combustion.
