Description

The high velocity water spray system discharges a jet of water at high speed through the nozzles. The water jet forms a cone of coarse spray of uniform density which is discharged over a defined area. The coarse spray is able to penetrate the flame zone and reach the surface of the burning oil. The turbulence created by the high velocity spray forms an oil-in-water emulsion on the surface of the oil that will not burn. High velocity systems are often used to protect equipment that incorporate heavy or medium oil equipment such as transformers, circuit breakers, diesel engines and fuel oil storage tanks, turbo-alternator lube oil systems and oil-fired boilers.
