Wet Fire Sprinkler Systems
The Wet Fire Sprinkler System: The most dependable and simplistic fire sprinkler system. The piping of a Wet Sprinkler System contains water under pressure. When a sprinkler head in the fire system is activated, water will instantly start flowing and the fire sprinkler system will begin to extinguish the fire. The Wet Fire Sprinkler System is used for retail locations, storage areas, manufacturing facilities, office complexes, and apartment/condo buildings.
Dry Fire Sprinkler Systems
The Dry Fire Sprinkler System: If there’s a potential for FREEZING, the Dry Fire Sprinkler System is the best choice. In a dry system, compressed air fills the piping network. When a sprinkler head is activated, the compressed air flows out of the piping network and water starts to spray from the sprinkler head. This is the perfect solution for parking garages, loading docks, warehouses, commercial freezers, and attic space.
Deluge Fire Sprinkler Systems
The Deluge Fire Sprinkler System: Quick response, total coverage of a designated area. In a Deluge Sprinkler System, ALL of the sprinkler heads are open. The piping network is not filled with water. When a heat sensor is triggered, a valve opens, and water starts flowing. The Deluge System is used for unique hazards like oil and chemical storage areas.
PreAction Fire Sprinkler Systems
The PreAction Fire Sprinkler System: A good solution for server rooms and sensitive electronic equipment. Wait! Hold on!! That’s water and ELECTRICITY? In a PreAction System, the piping network is pressurized with air. When the PreAction Fire Sprinkler System is triggered, electrical equipment and computers will close down processes and turn off before water starts to flow. This is the reason your electronic devices will not be destroyed.
Foam Sprinkler Systems
The Foam Sprinkler System: Designed for special hazard scenarios. A military aircraft hangar is an example. When a foam system discharges there is a mix of water and low expansion foam concentrate. These systems are best for high challenge fires.
Water Mist Fire Sprinkler Systems
The Water Mist Sprinkler System: This is an alternative to CO2 Fire Suppression Systems. The Water Mist System is a great option for occupied locations that have sensitive electronics. They are commonly used to protect combustion turbines.
