Water Spray Nozzles in Bhopal

Water spray nozzles sit on a fixed water spray or deluge system and throw a set cone, curtain or sheet of water onto transformers, tanks, vessels, conveyors and openings, to cool them or to control and put out a fire. FPS supplies medium velocity, high velocity, water curtain, tank cooling and special application nozzles from Tyco, HD Fire, New Age, Aaag and Balaji Fire Safety in Bhopal and across Madhya Pradesh.

HD Fire

HD Fire Tank Cooling Nozzle, Models TS and TSS, UL Listed

Tank cooling½ inchK20 to K79

Sizes: 1/2″ BSPT / NPT

A non-automatic open spray nozzle for fixed water spray systems protecting fuel storage tanks. Mounted upright at a distance from the tank wall, it keeps the tank from absorbing heat radiation when there is a fire nearby, and it is UL Listed.

Tyco
Tyco

Tyco Type MV-R Reverse Action and MV-T Tank Top Nozzles, Open, Medium Velocity (TFP809)

Medium velocityTank and vessel protectionOpen nozzle

Open medium velocity nozzles for water spray protection of vessels and structures holding highly flammable liquids, gases and solids with flash points of 66°C (150°F) and below.

  • Approvals: MV-R: UL Listed and FM Approved, see Table A MV-T: UL Listed, see Table B
  • Maximum Working Pressure: 12,1 bar (175 psi)
  • Thread Connection: 1/2 in. NPT

How to choose

Start with the hazard. Medium velocity nozzles give a filled cone of fine droplets for exposure protection: they cool tank shells, vessels, structural steel and equipment so these do not absorb too much heat from a nearby fire, and with a higher design density they can also control a fire. High velocity nozzles give a narrower, solid cone of fast droplets for extinguishing fires in special hazards such as oil filled transformers, switchgear, circuit breakers, lube oil systems and oil fired boilers. Tyco, HD Fire, New Age and Aaag list both kinds, and Balaji Fire Safety lists a ½ inch brass medium velocity nozzle.

Then size the nozzle. The K factor sets how much water flows at a given pressure and the spray angle sets how wide the cone spreads, so both come from the system design and the distance to the surface. Aaag medium velocity nozzles run from K 22 to 102 metric with angles of 60° to 120°, the HD Fire MV from K 18 to 102 metric with angles of 65° to 160°, and Tyco and New Age list a wide range of K factors or orifice sizes and spray angles. Most medium velocity nozzles take a ½ inch BSPT or NPT connection, while high velocity nozzles use ½ inch (Aaag), ¾ inch (HD Fire, Tyco Mulsifyre) or 1 inch (HD Fire) connections. Check the working pressure too: 10 bar on Aaag medium velocity and curtain nozzles, 12 bar on Aaag high velocity nozzles, a maximum of 175 psi on most Tyco nozzles and up to 17 bar on the New Age high velocity nozzle.

For openings, tanks and special areas, choose by pattern. Water curtain nozzles spread a flat sheet of water: the Aaag curtain nozzle works as a window spray when pendent or as a fire separation curtain when horizontal, HD Fire CN and CNS nozzles protect windows, walls, beams and roofs, the flanged HD Fire Jumbo JCS throws a curtain upward to segregate areas, and Tyco Issue A and B sprinklers cover window glazing. For storage tanks there are HD Fire TS and TSS tank cooling nozzles, the HD Fire revolving nozzle for fixed roof tank tops, and Tyco MV-R reverse action and MV-T tank top nozzles. Tyco also lists TN-17 and TN-25 tunnel nozzles and Type 1 and Type 2 nozzles for crossflow cooling towers.

Finally choose material and approval. Brass suits most installations, while stainless steel (Aaag, HD Fire, New Age, Tyco), aluminium bronze (HD Fire MV-E) and titanium or 254 SMO (Tyco MV) suit corrosive and chemical plant atmospheres. Most HD Fire nozzles are UL Listed, with FM approval on the ¾ inch high velocity and MV nozzles and Lloyd's Register type approval on the MV; New Age nozzles are UL Listed; and Tyco lists UL, C-UL, ULC or FM approval by model. Aaag and Balaji Fire Safety nozzles are listed without approval details, so FPS confirms them on enquiry. Outdoors, blow-off caps or plugs (HD Fire, Tyco) and strainers (Tyco HV and Mulsifyre strainer models) keep insects and debris out of small orifices.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between medium velocity and high velocity spray nozzles?
Medium velocity nozzles give a filled cone of fine droplets, used mainly to cool tanks, vessels and structures exposed to a fire. High velocity nozzles give a narrower, solid cone of fast droplets, used to put out fires in special hazards such as oil filled transformers, switchgear and lube oil systems.
What does the K factor of a spray nozzle mean?
The K factor relates flow to pressure: a nozzle with a higher K factor passes more water at the same pressure. The system designer picks the K factor and spray angle from the required water density and the distance from the nozzle to the surface.
Do water spray nozzles open on their own like sprinklers?
Most are open nozzles on a deluge system: the deluge valve opens on a signal from the detection system and water flows from every nozzle on that zone at once. The Tyco Type EA-1 Protectospray is an automatic nozzle with a frangible bulb that opens on its own.
Which nozzles are used to protect a transformer?
Transformers are commonly protected by high velocity nozzles fed from a deluge valve, such as the HD Fire high velocity nozzles, the Tyco Mulsifyre and Type HV, or the Aaag stainless steel high velocity nozzle. FPS surveys the transformer and pipe layout before recommending the K factor, angle and material.
What is a water curtain nozzle used for?
A water curtain nozzle spreads water in a flat sheet to protect windows, walls and openings from an exposure fire, or to separate one area from another. Tyco, HD Fire and Aaag list curtain and window nozzles in brass, bronze or stainless steel.
Does FPS install water spray systems, and how do I get a price?
FPS supplies, installs and maintains water spray and deluge systems in Bhopal and across Madhya Pradesh. Prices depend on the nozzle model, material and quantity, so they are on request: call or WhatsApp +91 92440 89060.
