An automatic fire sprinkler system is one of
the most effective methods of controlling or suppressing a fire.
A fire sprinkler
system is an integrated system of underground and overhead piping designed
in accordance with fire protection engineering standards. The installation
includes one or more automatic water supplies. The portion of the
sprinkler system aboveground is a network of specially sized or
hydraulically designed piping installed in a building, structure, or area,
generally overhead, and to which sprinklers are attached in a systematic
pattern. The valve controlling each system riser is located in the system
riser or its supply piping. Each sprinkler system riser includes a device
for actuating an alarm when the system is in operation. The system is
usually activated by heat from a fire and discharges water over the fire
area.

Common Types of Sprinkler Systems |
|
|
|
Wet Pipe Sprinkler System:
A sprinkler system employing
automatic sprinklers attached to a piping system containing water and
connected to a water supply so that water discharges immediately from
sprinklers opened by heat from a fire.
|
|
Deluge Sprinkler System: A sprinkler system employing
open sprinklers that are attached to a piping system
that is connected to a water supply through a valve that is opened by
the operation of a detection system
installed in the same areas as the sprinklers. When this valve opens,
water flows into the piping system and discharges from all
sprinklers attached to the system.
|
|
Dry Pipe Sprinkler System: A sprinkler system employing
automatic sprinklers that are attached to a piping system containing
air under pressure, the release of which permits the water pressure
to open a valve known as a dry pipe valve, and the water then flows
into the piping system and out any opened sprinklers.
|
|
Pre-action Sprinkler System: A sprinkler system employing
automatic sprinklers that are attached to a piping system that
contains air, with a supplemental detection system installed in the same areas as the sprinklers. There are
three distinct types of Pre-action Systems. |
Foam Sprinkler System: Any of the previously described systems
connected to a special foam concentrate reservoir at the system riser that
automatically delivers a combination of foam and water when the system is
activated.
