What does deluge mean in a fire sprinkler system?
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.

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.

What is a quick response fire sprinkler?
A quick response fire sprinkler is a fire sprinkler designed to react immediately upon sensing a fire. Typically quick response fire sprinklers are heat activated, where heat from a fire melts a fusible link that allows the fire extinguishant (usually water in the case of fire sprinklers) to put out the fire quickly. Fire sprinkler systems are an important part of a building's total fire protection system, which should also include fire alarms, fire extinguishers and, where appropriate, specialized fire suppression systems.
