Advanced Fire Protection Technology
High Velocity and Medium Velocity Water Spray Systems are specialized fire protection systems designed to extinguish fires involving flammable liquids with flash points of 65°C (150°F) or higher. These systems employ three principles of extinguishment - emulsification, cooling, and smothering - to effectively control and extinguish fires within seconds.
System Overview
High Velocity System
Designed for high-risk areas with flammable liquids, providing rapid fire suppression through water emulsification.
Medium Velocity System
Ideal for general fire protection applications with moderate risk flammable liquids and electrical equipment.
Automatic Detection
Integrated detection systems for automatic activation and rapid response to fire emergencies.
Comprehensive Fire Protection
Water Spray Systems provide robust fire protection for high-risk industrial facilities. The systems are designed to create a dense water curtain that cools the surface, forms an emulsion with burning liquids, and creates a steam blanket that smothers the fire. This multi-pronged approach ensures effective fire control even in challenging industrial environments.
Key Features & Benefits
