The efficient water discharge of indoor hydrants is firstly due to its scientific and reasonable internal structural design. The fire hydrant system is connected to a stable water supply pipeline, just like building an unobstructed "water transportation channel". When a fire occurs and the fire hydrant is opened, the valve opens instantly, and water gushes out of the fire hydrant quickly and continuously with the strong pressure provided by the water supply system. This design ensures that sufficient water can be quickly obtained in an emergency when a fire occurs, buying precious time to suppress the fire.

The water outlet design of the fire hydrant also plays a key role in efficient water discharge. Its water outlet has been specially processed, and its shape and size have been carefully designed so that the water flow can form an ideal shape when it is sprayed. The water flow is not scattered irregularly, but sprayed out in a concentrated and powerful state, like a "water arrow" shot at high speed, which can accurately reach the fire point. Such a water flow form not only reduces the energy loss during the transmission process, but also concentrates the power of water on the fire source, effectively enhancing the effect of fire extinguishing, thereby more effectively curbing the spread of the fire.

During the water discharge process, the water flow of the indoor hydrant has a large impact force. The strong water pressure gives the water flow enough kinetic energy. When the water flow hits the surface of the burning object, it can quickly disperse the flame and destroy the stable structure of the combustion. Just like a strong wind can blow away the flame, the impact force of the water flow can blow away and extinguish the flame, reduce the contact area between the burning object and oxygen, and then reduce the intensity of the combustion, slowing down the spread of the fire from the root. At the same time, the impact of the water flow can also rapidly reduce the surface temperature of the burning object, further inhibiting the continued combustion reaction.

The efficient water discharge of the indoor hydrant is also reflected in its ability to continuously provide a large amount of water. At the scene of a fire, the spread of the fire often requires a large amount of water to suppress it. The fire hydrant system can ensure a long-term stable water supply and continuously deliver water to the fire source. A sufficient amount of water can form a certain water cover layer in the fire area, just like covering the burning object with a "water blanket", isolating the contact between the air and the burning object, and gradually extinguishing the combustion due to lack of oxygen. This continuous water supply capability enables fire hydrants to effectively control fires for a longer period of time, preventing the fire from rekindling or further expanding.

The water mist effect formed after the fire hydrant discharges water also helps suppress the fire. During the water jetting process, part of the water will form fine water mist due to high-speed impact and special water outlet design. These water mists have a large surface area and can quickly absorb the surrounding heat and reduce the temperature of the fire area. At the same time, the water mist can also diffuse in the air, fill the combustion space, further isolate oxygen, and play a role in suffocating the fire. The fine water mist is like an invisible net, which encircles and suppresses the fire from multiple angles, effectively preventing the fire from spreading to the surrounding area.

In addition, the efficient water discharge capacity of the indoor hydrant is also closely coordinated with the professional operation of firefighters. Trained firefighters are familiar with the performance and use of fire hydrants, and can flexibly adjust the water discharge angle, water flow intensity and other parameters of the fire hydrant according to the actual situation such as the size of the fire and the characteristics of the burning objects. With their rich experience and skilled operation skills, they maximize the efficient water discharge capacity of fire hydrants, so that the water flow can act on the fire source more accurately and effectively, suppress the spread of fire to the greatest extent, and create favorable conditions for extinguishing fires and ensuring the safety of personnel and property.

It is through the synergy of scientific structural design, special water outlet shape, strong water flow impact, continuous and stable water supply, effective water mist fire extinguishing and professional operation coordination that the efficient water discharge capacity of indoor hydrants can be fully utilized. When a fire occurs, it is like a powerful "fire extinguishing guard", effectively suppressing the spread of fire, and becoming an indispensable part of the building fire safety guarantee system.
