Automatic Sprinkler Systems
A network of supply pipes covers all areas of a protected building. These pipes are fitted with sprinkler heads at regular intervals. Water for the system can be pumped from a storage container or may be taken directly from a municipality's water main.
The hot gases from a fire are usually enough to make a sprinkler head activate. When the rated temperature for the specific sprinkler head is reached, it will release water onto a fire. Only the sprinklers over the fire operate; the others remain closed. This limits water damage and reduces the total amount of water discharged.
Hydraulic calculations determine the necessary spacing of the sprinkler heads and pipework sizing, so there is always sufficient water flow discharge no matter how many sprinkler heads operate,. The design and calculations take into account the size and construction of the building, the category of goods stored in it, and the occupancy.
Properly installed and maintained automatic fire sprinkler systems help save lives. Fire sprinkler systems react so quickly, they can dramatically reduce the heat, flames and smoke produced in a fire.
