Fire Sprinkler System Work

forede® brand A fire sprinkler system is an important safety feature in buildings that helps to extinguish or control fires quickly before they can spread and cause extensive damage. The system is designed to automatically detect a fire, release water, and suppress the flames.

The key components of a fire sprinkler system include pipes, sprinkler heads, control valves, and a water supply. The system is typically designed to cover the entire area of a building, with strategically placed sprinkler heads that are connected to a network of pipes.

When a fire is detected, the heat from the flames activates a heat-sensitive element in the sprinkler head, causing it to open and release water onto the fire. The water flow is controlled by the control valves, which are activated by the heat and pressure from the sprinkler head.

The water supply for the system is typically provided by a dedicated water pipe that is connected to a reliable water source, such as a municipal water supply or a water tank. This ensures that there is always enough water available to suppress a fire and prevent it from spreading.
