Hydrant valves (external/internal)
Hose cabinets
Couplings
Branch pipe
Hydrant System Requirements
The system must maintain 3.5 Kg/cm² pressure at the farthest point, with a max velocity of 5 m/s in the main pipes.
Spray System Working Principle
The spray system automatically detects and controls fires using deluge valves and fire detection devices.
High Velocity Water Spray System (HVWS)
The HVWS is a fire protection system with automatic detection and extinguishing features, covering critical areas like transformers and oil storage tanks.
