MVWS: An Integrated Medium Velocity Water Spray (MVWS) System is a fire protection system that uses medium-velocity water droplets to extinguish fires, especially those involving low flash point (below 65°C) flammable liquids or water-miscible liquids, and to protect adjacent areas from heat exposure. These systems use spray nozzles to discharge water at a medium velocity, creating a fine spray or mist that absorbs heat and cools the area.

Applications:

Oil tanks | Conveyors  |  Cable galleries   Power plants | Chemical plants  |  Storage facilities  | Transformer cooling  |  Storage tank cooling  | LPG bullet cooling etc.

 

Advantages of MVWS Systems

  • Effective for Low Flash Point Liquids: MVWS systems are particularly effective for extinguishing fires involving low flash point liquids where high-velocity water spray systems might not be suitable.
  • Cooling and Protection: The fine spray helps to cool adjacent equipment and structures, minimizing damage and reducing the risk of explosion.
  • Versatile: MVWS systems can be designed for individual automatic operation or for automatic and manual operation in groups.
  • Safety: MVWS systems are designed with safety features, such as alarm systems and isolation facilities for maintenance.

HVWS: An Integrated High Velocity Water Spray (HVWS) system is a fire protection system that uses high-pressure water to extinguish fires involving flammable liquids or gases, particularly in industrial settings, by creating a fine mist that absorbs heat and displaces oxygen. The system discharges high-pressure water through specialized nozzles that atomize the water, creating a fine mist. This mist has a higher surface area, which allows it to quickly absorb heat from the fire and displace oxygen, effectively controlling the fire’s spread and intensity.

Applications:

  • Power transformers and circuit breakers
  • Oil-fired boilers and lube oil systems
  • Fuel oil storage tanks
  • Turbo alternator lube oil systems

 

Key Components:

Nozzles | Piping Network | Deluge Valves | Heat Detectors | Water Supply

 

Benefits of HVWS Systems

  • Rapid Fire Suppression: The high-velocity water spray quickly absorbs heat and displaces oxygen, effectively controlling the fire’s spread.
  • Effective for Flammable Liquids: HVWS systems are particularly effective at extinguishing fires involving flammable liquids and gases.
  • Cooling and Smothering Effect: The water jet not only extinguishes the fire but also cools down the surrounding equipment, preventing further damage.
  • Emulsification: The high-velocity water spray can also create an emulsion with the burning oil, preventing the oil from burning.
  • Versatile Applications: HVWS systems can be used in various industrial settings, including power plants, chemical plants, and storage facilities
