What is Fire Fighting Sprinkler System?

An automatic fire sprinkler system installation is highly necessary as it can detect, control and extinguish a fire, and warn the occupants of occurrence of fire. Acknowledged as an efficient means of protecting buildings against extensive damage from fire, fire sprinkler installation plays a crucial role. The sprinkler fitting installation comprises fire sprinkler system components such as fire pumps, water storage tanks, sprinkler heads, control valve sets, flow-switches, pressure switches, pipework, and valves. The fire safety sprinkler system operates automatically without human intervention.

It is advisable to consider an automatic fire sprinkler in more complex buildings, or where it is necessary to protect the means of escape or the property or contents of the building. People now acknowledge fire protection sprinkler systems as an effective means of reducing the risk to life from fire. Therefore, developers are creating fire prevention systems like sprinklers for fire safety to be used in workplaces with residential areas, such as care homes and houses in multiple occupancies.

How do fire sprinklers system work?

The heat from a fire individually operates sprinklers, meaning that when a fire starts, hot gases rise to the ceiling.. A glass bulb or solder link gets hot, and at a specific temperature (typically 68°C), it breaks, releasing a cap and allowing water to flow onto a diffuser. The diffuser breaks up the water flow into controlled droplets which enter the fire trail and cool the burning material to below its explosion point, thus controlling the fire. In other words, pipework filled with water connects the sprinklers, supplied either from the water mains or from a storage tank through a pump. As soon as a sprinkler operates, the flow of water in the pipework activates a flow switch, which, in turn, activates an alarm system and the Rescue Service.
