Fire Sprinkler system is one of the most effective system to extinguish fire. As per NFPA “Sprinklers were effective in controlling the fire in 96% of the fires in which they operated.”
Fire sprinklers work because high heat triggers the sprinkler system. When a blaze ignites, the air directly above it heats rapidly. This hot air rises and spreads along the ceiling. When the air is hot enough and reaches a sprinkler head, it triggers a chain reaction. Most sprinkler heads feature a glass bulb filled with a glycerin‐based liquid. This liquid expands when it comes in contact with air heated. When the liquid expands, it shatters its glass confines and the sprinkler head activates.
Sprinklers are available in:
- Pendent
- Up right
- Side wall
- Concealed
