Deluge Water Sprinkler System
Deluge Systems, as the name implies, deliver large quantities of water over specific areas in a relatively short period of time. These systems are used to protect against rapidly growing and spreading fires, typically involving flameless liquids, solvents etc.

Deluge Water spray systems are similar to automatic sprinkler system except all nozzles are open and will discharge together when control valve opens. These systems are designed to protect areas where fire is likely to spread rapidly and / or where cooling of surrounding equipment is necessary.

Deluge Waterspray Systems are similar to sprinkler systems in that they control a water supply. Control valves, piping, hangers, and discharge devices.

As such, these systems also require the same inspection, testing, and maintenance as sprinkler system. However, water spray systems can have, in addition to these items, a detection systems that is hydraulic, pneumatic, or electrical, other devices such as pipeline strainers (not normally found on sprinkler systems), and devices required special attention in order to maintain the operation status of the water spray system.

Water spray systems are designed to direct water at a required density, from nozzles having predetermined patterns to completely impinge water onto the hazard surface being protected. They are designed for use in a variety of special hazards applications including flammable and combustible liquid hazards, transformers and turbines.

In some circumstances extinguishment is not always desirable, only cooling. Common applications include power generation equipment (e.g. switchgear), flammable liquid storage, gas tanks and process plants.

Cooling is achieved by the use of medium velocity spray nozzles and extinguishment is usually by high velocity nozzles.

This system can be activated manually or automatically by hydraulic, pneumatic or electrical detection systems.

This type of system also needs sufficient water flow and pressure to contain or extinguish the type of hazards they are there to protect.
