Best Answer

A deluge fire sprinkler system, unlike most ordinary systems, mean that the sprinkler heads do not have individual heat-sensitive valves. The sprinkler heads in a deluge system have no valves of their own, meaning they are always open and water will be sprayed out of them when the supply valve is turned on.

There are limited uses for deluge systems, such as in a tire storage warehouse where it is important to put out a fire quickly and the massive flow of water will not cause major damage.
