Yes, there is a well-defined standard for "water-mist" sprinkler systems for protection of electrical Transformers and switch-gear, including required minimum spacing according to the voltages present.
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.
Depends on the system, and it's design. Most standard sprinkler systems are designed for a 30 gallon per minute rate for each sprinkler head. Standpipes and hose lines have other design criteria, as do deluge systems. They ALL take a LOT of water!
Sprinkler systems can use many components that control the flow of the water. A plastic piping connects the water supply to the electric valves and the sprinkler.

In a deluge system the water comes out of all sprinkler heads at once, compared with most fire sprinkler systems in which each sprinkler head has its own heat-sensitive trigger. There are major design differences in how much water you need for a deluge system and what safety interlocks are built into the system to prevent accidental water damage.
Obviously, the branch-off for your sprinkler system has a bowwevel or some sort of virus like that.............so.......you should get that checked out.
After a main water valve is closed the system's PVC pipes are still full of water and will drain to the lowest sprinkler head until the system is empty.
A water gong is typically arranged to alarm the instant water in the sprinkler system begins flowing, certainly within a few seconds, as the pressure drops on the sprinkler side, allowing water pressure to turn the clapper in the gong.
Bleeding a sprinkler system involves draining the existing water from the pipes. Afterwards, the pipes should be completely dried by using an air compressor.
The services that can be used for sprinkler system design are residential areas for home gardening, farmers and nurseries to irrigate or water plants/crops.
This system is used in a non heated space. Parking garages, warehouses, carports and so on. The system has pressurized air in the pipeing from the sprinlker head to the water source. Water does not enter the system untell a sprinkler head is set off.
