Fire protection is an integral component of any business. It is intended to protect its property, employees and assets. In Orange County, one of the most common components of an active fire protection service system is a fire sprinkler.
Types of Fire Sprinklers
Fire protection companies provide sprinkler systems as part of a complete fire detection and prevention system. Clients have a choice of several diverse types. These include:
- Wet Sprinkler System: Automatic sprinklers, attached to a system piping water, immediately discharge water when set off by heat
- Dry Pipe Systems: This system uses two types of pipes. One contains either air or nitrogen under pressure, the other water. Once the fire is detected, the gas is released activating the valves within the sprinkler heads and releasing the water. These types are preferred in environments where pipes freeze.
- Pre-Action System: This type of dry pipe sprinkler requires a two-step activation. Upon detecting smoke or heat, a pre-action valve opens, releasing water into the pipe. Each sprinkler head can then be activated to release water where directed.
- Deluge System: This dry-pipe system features open sprinkler heads. No internal heat-sensing element is present. Instead, an activated external, alarm induces, the pipes to flood with water. All sprinkler heads immediately flood the entire area beneath them.
