A Water Spray System, for Fire Protection a different variant of Fire Sprinkler System. Such a system is used in places where fire is likely to rapidly spread out of control, within a short duration. Examples of such places, where Water Spray System, for Fire Protection are required are; Transformers, Compressors, Condensate Storage Tanks, LPG bullets and Combustible fuels. It is divided in following categories;
HVWS, is generally used in oil based systems, having high flash points. The velocity of the water sprays, hitting the system under fire is critical for successful fire extinguishing action.
MVWS, is generally used in oil based systems, having low flash points. The velocity of the water sprays, hitting the system under fire, if it is high, might actually spread the fire, and not extinguish it. Hence, the velocity of the water has to be in range.
