Choose the configuration

Start with the duty. Then define the package.

A fan projects the water spray toward the selected area, while the positioning mechanism sets the discharge direction. Flow, nozzle arrangement and movement limits depend on the model.

TT-200

Freshwater

200 L/min at 12 bar

DN50 inlet, an 18-nozzle water ring and a +10° to −85° elevation range. Review this configuration where the installation requires a downward aiming envelope.

TT-694S

Seawater · Offshore platforms

694 L/min at 12 bar

DN100 inlet, a DN65 center nozzle and a +45° to −25° elevation range. The same listed operating parameters as TT-694, configured for seawater service on offshore platforms. All seawater-wetted parts are made of SAF 2507 super-duplex stainless steel.

Enquire about TT-694S
Choose using three checks. Match available water flow first, check the required elevation range, then confirm the discharge arrangement. A larger flow rate does not by itself establish a larger protected area. If independent center-nozzle operation is required, the listed TT-694 and TT-694S configurations need a separate engineering review.

How the turbine delivers directional water mist

  1. 1. Water discharge

    Water is discharged through the selected nozzle arrangement. Nozzle geometry and water pressure influence the spray characteristics.

  2. 2. Fan-assisted projection

    The electrically driven fan carries the spray toward the target area. Wind and obstructions affect where water is delivered.

  3. 3. Positioning

    The rotary and tilt mechanisms set the aiming direction within the model’s travel limits. The selected controls determine how commands and feedback are handled.

Equipment & product videos

See the equipment. Watch it operate.

Inspect the fan drive, positioning base and support frame in the workshop photograph, then watch the nozzle ring and outdoor water discharge in the videos below.

For installation dimensions, use the approved drawing for your selected model.

These videos demonstrate water discharge. Model-specific flow, pressure and application performance must be assessed against the documented test conditions.

Application engineering

Plan around the actual fire risk.

Tell us what needs protection, where the turbine can be installed and what the fire protection system must achieve.

Substations & transformers

Design question: Can the spray reach the transformer and exposed adjacent equipment from the proposed mounting point? Review electrical clearances, oil containment, isolation strategy and obstructions. Energized-equipment use needs specific suitability evidence.

Timber & wood processing

Design question: Will changing pile height, conveyors or stored material block the spray path? Assess exposed faces, shielding, wind and the ability to aim at the required zones. Spray reach alone does not establish penetration into a material pile.

Industrial facilities

Design question: Is the objective to cool equipment, limit fire spread or extinguish a defined hazard? Map the fuel load, machinery and access routes so the equipment specification supports that objective.

Tank farms & fuel handling

Design question: Is the duty exposure cooling or flammable-liquid extinguishing? Tank height, separation, bund geometry, wind and drainage shape the design. The listed turbine equipment does not establish foam compatibility or liquid-fire extinguishing capability.

Chemical & process plants

Design question: Is water an appropriate agent for the substances present? Confirm water compatibility, area classification, equipment exposure and runoff management before defining the turbine configuration.

Offshore platforms

TT-694S is the seawater configuration for offshore platform applications, with the same listed operating parameters as TT-694. Provide the seawater supply conditions, mounting arrangement, electrical supply and control requirements for the project review.

These are application review categories, not a claim that every configuration is approved for every hazard. Foam use, hazardous-area operation and electrical safety require separate confirmation.

Assembly reference for discussing equipment interfaces; use the approved model drawing for dimensions and mounting loads.

Fixed and elevated positions

For a high-level installation, review the support structure, mounting height, aiming envelope and maintenance access together. Do not select the position from the reference spray distance alone.

Send a plan and elevation showing the turbine location, target area, nearby equipment and obstructions. Include structural information where a wall, column or platform will support the unit.

Water supply

Confirm pressure and flow at the turbine inlet, water quality, pipe losses, isolation, drainage and any simultaneous equipment demand. Select pumping equipment from the required inlet duty.

Electrical supply

Provide voltage, phases and frequency. Agree the complete load schedule, protection and cable requirements, including fan drive, positioning, controls and optional heating.

Mechanical interface

Confirm base dimensions, fixing details, operating mass, reaction loads, movement clearances, corrosion protection and access for inspection.

Control interface

Define activation, aiming, stop commands, position feedback, permissives and fault signals. Confirm the required protocol and signal list for the selected package.

Translate the rated flow into system demand.

Use the number of turbines operating at the same time when defining the water supply. The values below are arithmetic flow totals at each model’s stated rated duty.

TT-694S has the same rated flow demand as TT-694. One TT-200 plus one TT-694 or TT-694S at rated duty requires 894 L/min (53.64 m³/h) at the turbine connections. Add other simultaneous consumers in the system design. The 12 bar rating is the turbine operating-pressure reference; upstream supply must account for elevation and hydraulic losses. Storage volume depends on the required operating duration and the project design.

Control & configuration

Specify the functions your system needs.

Request the equipment and control scope together. Option availability and integration details are confirmed against the chosen model.

Wired control panel

Define the required operating functions, installation location, cable distances and connection to the site control system.

Radio remote control

Specify operating distance, site obstructions, permitted radio arrangements and the required response to loss of communication.

Angle adjustment & feedback

The supplied TT-694 / TT-694S configuration lists rotation and tilt encoders plus a detector mounting platform. Agree signal formats, travel limits and the receiving control-system interface for the selected package.

Cold-weather package

An optional −40°C outdoor heating concept is available for dry pipework with 10 mm insulation. Define minimum temperature, wind exposure, standby readiness, drainage and control interlocks for the selected package.

The standard ambient range remains 4 to 50°C. The optional −40°C heating concept below assumes dry pipework and 10 mm insulation. Confirm the complete configured assembly’s operating limits, standby logic and cold-start acceptance criteria for the project.

See horizontal positioning in motion.

The workshop demonstration shows how the turbine moves on its base. Use it alongside the selected model’s travel limits and installation drawing.

Horizontal rotation demonstration

Watch the turbine turn on its positioning base in the workshop. Duration: 45 seconds.

Turn movement into a clear specification.

  • Travel: identify the required aiming zones and permitted rotation limits.
  • Clearance: allow space for the turbine, hoses and cables throughout movement.
  • Controls: agree positioning commands, limit functions and feedback requirements.

Include positioning requirements in your project enquiry →

Define the cold-weather standby strategy.

The supplied comparison uses an outdoor ambient of −40°C, 10 mm insulation and dry pipework. The figures below describe the heating concepts under those assumptions.

Specify the heat-tracing elements, removable insulation, temperature sensors and controller, terminations, electrical protection, flexible moving connections and commissioning scope together. Confirm heater type, wind design conditions and the required ready-to-operate signal in the final thermal and control design.

Seconds-level response is conditional on a healthy, energized heating system. Confirm the complete fire-system response time and the effects of power loss, water retention and thermal recovery for the project.

Define the control interface before ordering.

Use the following as a specification checklist. The agreed interface schedule establishes which functions the selected package provides.

1 / REQUIREMENTS

Share the project brief

Provide the application, layout, water supply, electrical conditions, controls and required approvals.

2 / CONFIGURATION

Agree the equipment

Confirm model, options, interfaces, drawings, testing scope, branding requirements and supply boundaries.

3 / DELIVERY SUPPORT

Define the handover

Agree packing, shipment documentation, installation information, spares and any requested commissioning support.

System design, site installation, fire detection logic and project approvals must be assigned explicitly in the project scope. Equipment supply does not automatically extend an existing system certification.

Specify what you want verified before shipment.

Include the required inspection and test items in the purchase specification. The agreed inspection plan defines the test method, acceptance criteria and records.

  • Water duty: measured flow and inlet pressure, with nozzle configuration and test conditions recorded.
  • Movement: rotation and tilt travel, limit functions, and position feedback where supplied.
  • Controls: agreed commands, interlocks, alarms and loss-of-communication behavior for the selected package.
  • Mechanical fit: mounting dimensions, connection details, equipment mass and configuration identity.
  • Documentation: model-specific drawings, wiring information, inspection records and agreed service documents.
  • Maintenance planning: access to nozzles, water strainers, drives and electrical equipment, plus spare-parts identification.

Equipment functional testing and application fire-performance testing answer different questions. Define both evidence requirements where relevant; a functional test does not establish extinguishing performance for the intended hazard.

Frequently asked questions

Practical answers for your engineering team.

How do TT-200, TT-694 and TT-694S differ?

TT-200 is a freshwater configuration rated at 200 L/min with a DN50 inlet. TT-694 is a freshwater configuration rated at 694 L/min with a DN100 inlet. TT-694S has the same listed operating parameters as TT-694 and is suitable for seawater service on offshore platforms. All three have a rated operating pressure of 12 bar.

Does this equipment require a high-pressure water mist pump?

Use the turbine inlet duty to select the water supply. All three configurations have a rated pressure of 12 bar. Account for pipe losses, elevation and simultaneous flow demand when defining the upstream pump duty.

Can the turbine be mounted above the protected area?

An elevated fixed installation can be reviewed using the model’s aiming envelope, support loads and site layout. Confirm that the spray can reach the required area without obstructions and that inspection and maintenance remain accessible.

Does the reference spray distance define the protected area?

No. Spray distance is not a fire-protection coverage radius. Application performance depends on the hazard, nozzle configuration, pressure, aiming angle, wind and installation geometry. Request the relevant test conditions and evidence for your design.

Which model can use seawater, and is foam supported?

TT-694S is suitable for seawater service on offshore platforms. All seawater-wetted parts on TT-694S are made of SAF 2507 super-duplex stainless steel. TT-200 and TT-694 are the freshwater configurations. Specify the seawater conditions and offshore installation requirements with your enquiry. Foam compatibility and foam-related performance require separate technical confirmation.

Can the controls connect to our PLC or fire detection system?

Send your required commands, feedback signals, interlocks, fault handling and communication protocol. Compatibility is established by an interface review for the selected model and control package.

Can the equipment operate below 4°C?

The standard ambient range is 4 to 50°C. An optional heating concept for −40°C outdoor conditions uses dry pipework and 10 mm insulation. The supplied comparison lists on-demand preheating and continuous heating; rapid activation with continuous heating depends on normal power and heat-tracing operation. Confirm the complete assembly’s operating limits and cold-start performance for the project.

What is included in the supply?

The agreed equipment schedule defines the turbine, control panel, remote control, feedback, heating and documentation. Site installation, supporting structures, external piping, power distribution and commissioning services must be defined separately.

What should we send for a technical proposal?

Provide the project country, hazard and protection objective, site plan and elevation, mounting location, available water pressure and flow, electrical supply, ambient conditions, controls, quantity and required documentation.

How are lead time, testing and spare parts confirmed?

They are agreed against the final configuration and project requirements. Include your target delivery date, inspection points, documentation needs and spare-parts expectations in the enquiry.
