How Does a Fire Sprinkler System Work?
A fire sprinkler system is an essential tool in fire protection in buildings and homes. The system works by detecting a fire by using heat or smoke sensors and automatically releasing water from the sprinkler heads to extinguish the fire.
As soon as a fire is detected, the sprinkler head closest to the fire activates and releases water directly on the flames. The water flow from the activated sprinkler head also triggers nearby sprinkler heads to release water, creating a cascade effect that quickly extinguishes the fire.
Each sprinkler head is equipped with a heat-sensitive glass bulb or a metal link that will melt or break under high heat, causing the sprinkler head to activate. Only the sprinkler head closest to the fire will release water, minimizing water damage to the surrounding area.
Contrary to popular belief, fire sprinklers do not activate all at once when a fire breaks out. In fact, statistics show that 90% of fires are extinguished by the operation of just one sprinkler head, eliminating the need for fire extinguishers or firefighting personnel.
In conclusion, fire sprinkler systems are the most effective way to protect the occupants of a building and mitigate damage from fires. With proper installation, maintenance, and regular inspections, fire sprinkler systems can save lives and prevent devastating losses.
