What is a dry type sprinkler system?
A dry type sprinkler system is a fire protection system that uses a network of pipes filled with compressed air or nitrogen, rather than water, until activated. This type of system is typically installed in areas where freezing temperatures are a concern, as water in traditional sprinkler systems can freeze and become ineffective. When a fire is detected, the compressed gas is released from the pipes, allowing water to flow into the system and activate the sprinkler heads. The dry type sprinkler system thus provides reliable fire protection in cold environments, ensuring that water is available to suppress fires when needed.
