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
