MVWS and HVWS water spray system protecting an industrial transformer

MVWS & HVWS Systems: Design, Applications, Standards and Key Differences

MVWS & HVWS systems are fixed water-based fire protection systems used for specific industrial hazards where conventional sprinkler protection may not provide the required protection objective, spray characteristics or equipment coverage. These systems are commonly considered for applications involving transformers, oil-filled electrical equipment, process equipment, flammable-liquid hazards and other industrial…
