There are many types, but primarily a flow alarm works by a pressure switch that indicates a pressure drop when a sprinkler head (or test valve) opens, or an actual in-flow mechanism (a propeller or a movable flap) that moves when water flows.
Some early models (still in existence) run water through an impeller that moves a clapper in a gong while water is flowing.

Design OF A fire fighting system for electrical control building?
we have to distinguish between firefighting and fire alarm system. fire fighting is mechanical work (either sprinkler system or Foam or CO2 or FM200) and there is fire alarm or detection system this is an electrical thing that includes ( detectors an fire alarm system) for electrical control building we use FM200.
Would a business security alarm system work for a home security system?
Depending on what you're preferences are, yes, a business security alarm system would work as a home alarm system. This is because every alarm system is an alarm system, but does different things.
How does a sprinkler system work?
A sprinkler system works by pushing water through a hose or underground water pipes and releasing the water through a sprinkler nozzle. These can be used manually or automatically through electronic systems.

How does a sprinkler system work as an open loop system?
What you may be referring to, since the question was posted in electrical engineering section, is in reference to the electrical switches and devices installed on sprinkler systems. The systems have water flow devices, low air switches, valve tamper devices and the like. each device is designed to monitor changes in state in the system. (sprinkler waterflow, low air pressure in a system, an improperly open or closed valve, to name a few.) these devices are designed to send an electrical current or signal of high or low voltage to a device(bell or siren) or to an alarm or control panel. The terminals on these devices are similar. They have a "common" terminal. Next, they have an "normally open" terminal; which means the circuit is open normally, but closes during a change in state. The circuit is supervised with a end of line resistor in the circuit, hence an "open loop"
