A fire sprinkler system is an automated fire suppression solution that activates when a fire is detected, dispersing water to control and extinguish flames, thereby minimizing damage and enhancing safety. It’s a critical component in fire safety for both residential and commercial buildings.
Detection: Fire sprinkler systems are equipped with heat-sensitive elements, such as glass bulbs or fusible links, in each sprinkler head. When the temperature rises due to a fire, these elements break or melt.
Activation: Once the heat-sensitive element activates, it triggers the sprinkler head to open, allowing water to flow through the pipes and out of the sprinkler head.
Suppression: Water is discharged from the sprinkler head in a specific pattern designed to cover a designated area. The water helps to control and suppress the fire, reducing its intensity and preventing it from spreading.
Coverage: Most systems are designed to cover a specific area with an even distribution of water, ensuring that fires are suppressed effectively. The exact design depends on factors such as the building’s layout, occupancy, and fire risk.
• Test line water flow checking
• Checking of Diesel Engines, Hydrant Main Pump, Hydrant Jokey Pump, Sprinkler Main Pump, and Sprinkler Jokey Pump and to ensure that they are working properly.
• Any faults found will be reported to the company’s
representative.
• Checking of Butterfly valves, Non-return valves, Hydrant valves, Hose pipes, Hose cabinet, Fire brigade inlet, Yard hydrants & internal Hydrants, Sprinklers, Air Release Valves, spindles,
pressure gauges etc…
• The goal is to test the hydrant & sprinkler system for its optimumoperation; it is preferable to perform these checks in presence of
Client designated person.
• Batteries: To disconnect the main AC power and test the system on back up batteries only.
Wet Pipe Systems: The most common type, wet pipe systems have water constantly available in the pipes. When a sprinkler head is activated, water immediately flows out. These systems are reliable and simple but are not suitable for freezing environments.
Dry Pipe Systems: In dry pipe systems, the pipes are filled with pressurized air or nitrogen, and water is held back by a valve. When a sprinkler head activates, the valve opens, allowing water to flow into the pipes and out of the sprinkler head. These systems are ideal for areas prone to freezing.
Pre-Action Systems: These systems combine features of wet and dry pipe systems. They have a two-step activation process: first, the system detects a fire, and then the water is released. This type of system is used in areas with valuable or sensitive equipment where accidental discharge must be minimized.
Foam Systems: Foam systems use a combination of water and foam concentrate to suppress fires involving flammable liquids. The foam forms a blanket over the fire, preventing oxygen from reaching the flames.
Life Safety: Fire sprinklers provide critical protection for occupants, allowing more time for evacuation and reducing the risk of injury or loss of life.
Property Protection: By controlling and extinguishing fires early, sprinklers help to minimize property damage, reduce repair costs, and protect valuable assets.
Insurance Benefits: Many insurance companies offer reduced premiums for properties with fire sprinkler systems due to the lower risk of severe fire damage.
Compliance: Installing fire sprinklers often helps meet local fire codes and regulations, ensuring that your property is up to standard with safety requirements.
Peace of Mind: Knowing that a fire sprinkler system is in place provides peace of mind, knowing that you have an effective measure in place to handle fire emergencies.
