Hydrocore High-Pressure Water Mist A world leader in subway fire solutions
Fire Risks in Mass Transport Facilities
About Hydrocore
Founded in 2012, Hydrocore was established to bring innovative fire protection solutions to the market, specializing in high-pressure water mist technology. All our systems are designed and manufactured in our state-of-the-art factory in Hull, UK, ensuring the highest quality and reliability. Our product range has expanded to include both high-pressure and low-pressure water mist systems, as well as automatic and manual section valves with closed nozzles.
Hydrocore's commitment to excellence is reflected in our extensive certifications, including ISO 9001:2015, FM Approvals, CCS Approvals, and other independently respected body like UL, SGS, TUV performance-based tests.
The excessive fire loads by metro vehicles, electric equipment and goods people carry into underground stations in combination with the high air flow along platforms constitute a serious fire risk.
Dense passenger loads and limited escape routes make safe evacuations particularly challenging. High density increases the risk of injury and stampede during evacuations.

Subway fires produce extreme heat, are difficult to extinguish and cause extensive damages. Rescue efforts are complicated by potential structural integrity issues caused by high heat.
In case of fires, it is a challenge to safely evacuate these areas due to the massive heat developmentand the rapid smoke spread as well as human behaviour in congested areas.
Hydrocore Water Mist Solutions
Rapid fire suppression in confined spaces
Water mist systems quickly control fires by containing heat and limiting fire spread:in: confined spaces.
Smoke containment and scrubbing
Water mist traps smoke particles; improving: visibility and reducing smoke spread. Gleane air enhances evacuation safety and reduces inhalation risks.
Efficient cooling to prevent re-ignition
50-micron droplets rapidly.ábsorb heat, reducing tunnel temperatures:and prevent re-ignition. Prolonged discharge·cools hot surfaces, ensuring safety post-fire.
One system for total protection
One system covers various:fire:types; from : : vehicle to electrical fires, eliminating the need multiple suppression systems:
Space-saving installation
Smaller tanks, pipes, and pumps save spa optimizing confined areas and:reducing: infrastructure needs.
Environmentally friendly future proof
With no harmful chemicals and·minimal wat use, the water mist system ensures environmental safety. It meets:global safety standards.
• Water mist pipelines and nozzles installed beneath the handrails to spray vertically upward to ensure evacuation safety
• Closed-style nozzles at the top of public areas for quick fire response
• The intersection of evacuation paths and commercial areas should install open-style nozzles to form water mist curtain to prevent fire spread and allow safe evacuation
• Also outfitted with high-pressure water mist guns for manual fire suppression • A row of water mist nozzles installed between the station screen doors and the carriages, creating a high-pressure water mist curtain
• Outfitted with high-pressure water mist spray guns to extinguish fires on the train and platform
• 2-3 rows of water mist nozzles installed between two fire zones to prevent the spread of fire
• Reinforced with additional high-pressure water mist guns for auxiliary fire protection
• Four layers of open nozzles arranged around the main transformer for comprehensive three-dimensional protection of the substation
Electrical Equipment Room
• Closed or open nozzles installed at the top of the electrical equipment room for protection
High pressure water mist technology was selected to be most favourable due to
· Fire test proof of fire fighting effect
· Best cooling abilities with smallest water amounts (lowest damage potential)
Smoke reduction
• Lowest impact on electric equipment
One fire fighting technology for all risk areas
· Easiest retrofit to existing metro stations
· Positive LCC balance
Water Mist Curtain at Track Areas
• When the train catches fire and it stops at the track area. Passengers escape to the platform High pressure water mist curtain installed between the train shielding door and the carriage • Equipped with high-pressure water mist spray gun to extinguish train fire manually
Effects of High Pressure Water Mist Curtain
• The high pressure water mist curtain effectively blocks toxic smoke, prevents smoke spreading to the public area of the platform
• Eliminating the harm of high-temperature toxic gases to personnel, improving the evacuation environment for dense crowds, and avoiding panic in the crowd

Water Mist Rings in Metro Tunnel for Evacuation
Situation - long metro tunnels
• Hangzhou Metro tunnels and Tianjin Metro tunnels are over 600m long. Due to geological reasons, it is not possible to construct escape routes between the up and down tunnels. How can passengers safely escape when the train stops in the tunnel due to power outages during fire?
Effects of High Pressure Water Mist Curtain
• Install mist rings on escape routes to prevent toxic smoke and heat from entering the safe passage in the event of a fire, effectively improving the escape environment
• After passing through the mist ring, passengers enter a relatively safe environment and continue to evacuate to the nearby metro station
