Piping
Fires can do a lot of damage very fast. Having a well-maintained automatic sprinkler system can help maintain the fire until firefighters arrive. The purpose of a Fire Sprinkler System is to provide an appropriate amount of water to extinguisher fires before they get the opportunity to grow and spread throughout the room. There are 4 types of Sprinkler System that can be installed: Wet Pipe System – This is the most common, this is wet sprinkler pipe employing automatic sprinkler heads attached to a piping system containing water and connected to a water supply so that water discharges immediately from sprinkler heads opened by heat from the fire. Dry System – this system has the pipes filled with pressurized air or nitrogen, rather than water. The air holds a remote valve, known as the dry pipe valve in the closed position. The dry pipe valve prevents water from entering the pipes until the fire causes a sprinkler heads to go off. The air then escapes filling pipe with water letting the sprinkler heads do their job. Deluge System – these systems have the water piping system open; the heating sensing operating element has been removed. These systems are used for special hazard where rapid fire spread is a concern. Water is not present in the piping until the system operates. Pre-Action System – This system are specialized for use in locations where accidental activation is undesirable, such as museums with rare art work or data centers, for protection of computer equipment from accidental water discharge.
