Discussion on issues related to the spherical tank spraying system?

“Depending on the nature of the stored materials, the spherical tank should be equipped with a fire spray system and a summer spray system. ”I would like to ask everyone how to explain this setting? It seems that fire sprinklers are the common ones.
Depending on the nature of the materials stored, spherical tanks should be equipped with a fire sprinkler system as well as a summer spraying system. It is necessary to determine whether water can be used for extinguishing fires through these sprinklers, based on the type of substances stored. The summer spraying system is used to cool the tanks; it is not a requirement of the fire protection system but rather a requirement related to the processing process. This is just my personal opinion
It seems that what is common is to apply insulation or sun-protective paint to the surface of the spherical tank.
We have installed a set of sprinklers that are turned on on a scheduled basis during the summer, but their main purpose is for fire suppression
There are also problems with this; fire water and sprinkler water are usually not the same thing. Could there be safety issues if fire water is used for cooling?
The spraying system is divided into upper and lower sections; the upper section is used solely for cooling. The temperature here isn’t very high, so it’s generally not necessary to use it
