The Tank Cooling Nozzle distributes water in a curtain shaped pattern. Tank Cooling Nozzle is typically mounted in upright position at a distance from the exterior wall of the fuel storage tank for cooling of the tank. In case of fire in the vicinity of the tank it prevents the tank from absorbing the heat radiation. The nozzle position should direct water spray onto all exposed surfaces of the equipment to absorb heat from the fire and keep the equipment at a safe temperature.

Tank Cooling Nozzles are available in Brass and Stainless Steel construction with different Km-factors. NFPA-15 can be referred for design guidelines. Do not leave dry/uncovered areas and ensure that the spray pattern covers complete surface.

The main pipeline strainers as per NFPA-15 are required for system utilizing nozzles with orfice diameter less than 9.5 mm (3/8 inch).
