An automatic sprinkler system is a system in which sprinkler heads are fixed in piping system were pipe is fully filled with water or air under pressure and, at a certain calibrated temperature, sensing elements in sprinkler head breaks and allows water flow.
Other types of systems rely upon electrical sensors (smoke and heat sensors, or manual switches) to initiate the flow or to pressurize the pipe so that sprinkler heads activated by the heat will flow water. Somewhat more rare systems, for extremely high hazards such as rubber tire storage in a warehouse, may have sprinkler heads that are always "open", allowing the entire room to be flooded when the pipe is pressurized.
What else can I help you with?
What other country aside from the US is noted for its interest in developing the automatic fire sprinkler system?
England is noted for its interest in developing the automatic fire sprinkler system.
What sprinkler systems are the simplest types of automatic fire sprinkler system?
Automatic Sprinkler of Connecticut LLC specializes in the simplest and most cost-effective types of automatic fire sprinkler systems, wet pipe sprinklers. Wet pipe sprinklers are the most common type of sprinkler system and are very reliable. They use water from a pressurized supply line to activate the sprinklers in case of smoke or heat detection, quickly suppressing any fires while minimizing damage.
What do I need to know about automatic fire alarm systems in rehabbing an old warehouse?
In terms of automatic fire alarm systems in rehabbing an old warehouse, you should activate the facility fire evacuation alarm system. Another thing you should know is make sure to have an automatic sprinkler system connected to the fire alarm system

What is usage of Jacky pump in fire system?
Did you mean Jockey Pump which is a small pump connected to a fire sprinkler system and intended to maintain pressure in a fire protection piping system to an artificially high level so the operation of a single fire sprinkler will cause a drop in pressure that will be sensed by the fire pumps automatic controller, causing the fire pump to start. The Jockey Pump is essentially a portion of the fire pumps control system.
Its low melting point is useful in automatic sprinkler systems?
The low melting point of a material used in automatic sprinkler systems helps it to quickly release water when exposed to heat, activating the sprinkler system. This property ensures rapid response and effective fire suppression.

How do you add zones to a fire sprinkler system?
Fire sprinkler systems are effectively already zoned - you don't need to do anything special. When your fire sprinkler system detects a fire, it doesn't set off all the sprinkler heads at once. Instead, each fire sprinkler head goes off when the temperature underneath it reaches a specific temperature, meaning only the ones affected by the fire will go off.
Which type of fire sprinkler system is most common and easiest to install?
Wet pipe sprinkler
What are the two basic categories of fire sprinkler systems?
