What is the function of a sprinkler pressure valve in a fire protection system?
The function of a sprinkler pressure valve in a fire protection system is to regulate and control the water pressure within the system to ensure that the sprinklers operate effectively in case of a fire.
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.
Should fusible link sprinklers be used in a deluge system?
No, sprinklers in a deluge system are "open"; no valve in the sprinkler, and an automatic valve turns on the water to all open sprinklers when a fire condition is detected.
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.
Why should not you put fire sprinklers in hospitals especially in operation theatres?
There is no particular exemption for hospitals needing fire sprinklers. In fact, there are many fire hazards in hospitals that increase the need for fire protection. A good design, however, may incorporate additional mechanisms to extend the time for release of water or for using a "dry pre-alert" system in certain areas. Even where there are fixed fire extinguishing systems (CO2, Halotron, etc), sprinklers are typically required "throughout" the facility.
Sulfuric acid storage fire protection is required?
Sulfuric acid storage areas require fire protection systems such as automatic sprinklers, fire extinguishers, and fire detection systems to prevent fires and minimize damage in case of a fire. It is crucial to have proper ventilation, secondary containment, and emergency response plans in place to ensure safety. Regular maintenance, inspections, and staff training are also important for effective fire protection.
Is fire sprinkler system is under the mechanical category or in plumbing?
Fire sprinklers and supporting pumps are considered "plumbing".
What do sprinklers in a factory remove from the fire triangle?
Sprinklers in a factory remove heat from the fire triangle.
What kind of fire protection system is used in a server room?
Fire protection includes adequate means of egress, exit signs, exit lighting, fire doors, fire alarm and fire suppression, among other things. The extinguishing agent would preferably a "clean agent" type, such as Halon or CO2, but many places also have water-type sprinklers, in case the fire gets hot enough to trigger them.
Do the twin towers have water sprinlker?
Yes, the Twin Towers had a fire protection system that included water sprinklers. However, their effectiveness was limited by the design and maintenance of the system. After the 9/11 attacks, investigations revealed that some areas lacked adequate sprinkler coverage, which contributed to the rapid spread of fire in the buildings.
Where can I obtain a good sprinkler system for fire purposes?
Fire sprinklers are available for both residential and commercial properties. You can find fire sprinkler systems either online or at a hardware store.
