What is preaction sprinkler system?

A sprinkler system employing automatic sprinklers that are attached to a piping system that contains air that might or might not be under pressure, with a supplemental detection system installed in the same areas as the sprinklers. Preaction systems are typically installed in areas where water damage due to accidental discharge of the sprinklers or breakage of the piping is a concern, or damage in the sprinklers and piping due to freezing. There are three types of preaction systems: non-interlock,single interlock, and double interlock. non interlock: water flow to sprinklers upon fused sprinkler or detection single interlock: water flow upon detection Double interlock: water flow only when detection and sprinklers detect fire


How do automatic sprinklers work?

It uses a programmed switch box that can be set to come off and on at certain times. The switch, when on, regulates electricity that shuts on/off valves to water. The sprinklers turn or operate from the water pressure itself. Some people have this system rigged to solar panels to use the sun's energy.

How does dry riser sprinkler system works?

The heat of the fire causes sprinklers to trip, releasing nitrogen or some other gas held under pressure in the system through the sprinklers. This action activates a dry pipe valve within the sprinkler system which releases fire protection water which has been restrained within the system, through the sprinklers with the intention of dousing if not extinguishing the fire.
