    MEDIUM VELOCITY WATER SPRAY NOZZLE

    MODEL: MV-A & MV-AS, MV-B & MV-BS, MV-E

    The SHIELD Medium Velocity Water Spray Nozzles are open type (non-automatic nozzles, designed for directional spray application in fixed fire protection system.

    Medium velocity water spray nozzle has an external deflector, which discharges water in a directional cone shaped pattern of small droplet size. The water is uniformly distributed over the surface to be protected.

    The Nozzles are effectively designed to apply water to exposed vertical, horizontal, curved and irregular shaped surfaces to allow cooling to prevent excessive absorption of heat from external fire and avoid structural damage or spread of fire. In some application nozzles may be installed to control or extinguish the fire depending on water design density as per applicable codes. The nozzle is used in deluge water spray system for special hazard fire protection application.

    As the design and intent of specific water spray system may vary considerably, MV nozzle is made available in several combinations of orifice sizes and spray angles.

    The minimum desirable pressure to achieve a reasonable spray pattern is 1.4 Kg./Sq.cm. The water distribution pattern as shown in the graph in following pages is at an average pressure of 2.0 Kg/Sq.cm. The change in pressure between 1.4 to 3.5 Kg./sq.cm. does not affect considerable change in spray angle.

    The spray pattern shown is with indoor application. System designer must consider wind velocity while designing the system for outdoor application. Field obstruction if any affecting the spray pattern of the nozzle must also be considered. The nozzle may be oriented to any position as deemed necessary to cover the hazard.

    The Blow-off plugs can be used to prevent the depositing of foreign materials in the waterway of the nozzles, which could interfere with discharge of the spray nozzle. Blow-off Plugs have identification mark with respect to K factor. Blow off plug for nozzle having K factor 22 will have identification mark of 22. Minimum operating pressure for nozzle having Blow-off plug is 1.4 Kg./Sq.cm (20 PSI).

    The main pipeline strainer as per NFPA-15 is required for system utilizing nozzle orifice diameter less than 9.5mm (3/8 inch), i.e. MV Nozzle having K-factor 51 and less, and also for the system water likely to contain obstructive materials.
