Features sprinkler fire extinguishing system
by John Smith LearnerAs you know, a fire is one of the worst disasters that can happen, since its consequences are extremely rare. The main objective of automatic warning and fire extinguishing systems is to prevent the spread of fire in order to preserve the lives and health of people, as well as material assets and equipment. Currently, one of the most popular systems of this kind is the sprinkler fire extinguishing system.
What is a sprinkler fire extinguishing system and how does it work?
Principle of operation
The main element of the sprinkler system is the sprinkler itself - a spray device that uses water under high pressure. The sprinkler is mounted in a piping system and in the vast majority of cases is placed on the ceiling in those rooms that need to be protected from fire.
The system is monitored and controlled by many sensors that respond to signs of smoke and an abnormal temperature increase.
Advantages and disadvantages
The main advantages of sprinkler fire extinguishing systems include:
- round-the-clock readiness for work;
- energy saving;
- simple device diagram;
- long term of operation;
- work in automatic mode;
- financial availability.
