A fire sprinkler system is a type of automatic extinguishing system (AES) that prevents fire growth and spread by releasing water through a series of sprinkler heads connected to a distribution piping system.
Water is released through the sprinkler heads once the surrounding air reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
This is an active protection method that can contribute to the safety of firefighters and those they work to protect.
Fire sprinkler and fire suppression systems share a common purpose. Parts of their systems may look similar, but fire sprinkler and suppression systems are very different in the way they extinguish or control fires and their applications. There are even several types of fire sprinkler and suppression systems.
The main differences between a fire sprinkler and fire suppression systems are how they extinguish fires and their applications. Fire sprinklers use water to extinguish and control fires, while fire suppression systems can use a number of different agents. It is important to determine if water from fire sprinklers will cause additional damage to the property before deciding on using a sprinkler or suppression system.
A fire sprinkler is a type of fire suppression system that uses water to extinguish fires. It consists of a network of pipes that are installed in a building or other structure and are connected to a water supply. The pipes are fitted with sprinkler heads, which are designed to open and release water when they are triggered by heat.
When a fire starts, the heat from the flames causes the temperature in the room to rise. This causes the sprinkler head to activate, either through a fusible link that melts at a specific temperature or through a heat-sensitive element that responds to the increased temperature.
When the sprinkler head activates, it opens a valve in the pipe, releasing a stream of water that is directed at the fire. The water cools and smothers the flames, extinguishing the fire before it can spread.
In addition to releasing water, the sprinkler head also triggers an alarm, which alerts the building occupants and the fire department that there is a fire. This allows them to evacuate the building and take other necessary precautions and enables the fire department to respond quickly and extinguish the fire before it can cause significant damage.
Overall, a fire sprinkler is a simple yet effective tool for suppressing fires and protecting buildings and other structures from the dangers of flames.
By quickly releasing water onto the fire, it can extinguish the flames and prevent the fire from spreading, minimizing the damage it can cause and save lives and property.
