Typically installed in industrial settings like chemical plants, mining operations, and large storage facilities (as well as offshore oil rigs, ports, dock oil depots, and on marine firefighting vessels), it features a nozzle attached to a swivel joint for wide - range movement, mounted on fixed structures such as walls, platforms, or roofs. When emitting a water column, it can extinguish solid fires; when producing a water mist, it serves for fire - site cooling, fire rescue, and cooling of storage tanks (e.g., oil, benzene, methanol tanks). Moreover, the water mist effectively absorbs heat at the fire site and dilutes toxic/harmful gases like smoke and chlorine, enhancing firefighters' safety.
