Sprinkler System |
| |
|
|
| |
 |
Sprinkler System provides the best form of protection, as it is designed to both detect and extinguish fire. The important aspect of this system is that it directly attacks the seat of the fire, avoiding unnecessary floor wettings. With this system in place chances of fire spreading to other areas is also eliminated.

All kinds of Buildings, Parking Areas etc System Description. |
| |
| The Sprinkler System typically comprises of Fire Water Source, Diesel and Electrical Pumps, Control Panel, Sprinkler Bulbs, System Piping, Control Valves and Annunciator Panel. |
| |
| System Description |
|
The sprinkler system is maintained under a stipulated pressure and the sprinkler bulbs are rated to fuse at a set temperature. In case of fire, the rise in temperature of the liquid inside the bulb causes it to fuse and release a fine jet of water over the seat of fire, thus extinguishing it. The bursting of the bulbs and water spraying action causes the line pressure to drop, which in turn triggers the fire pumps into operation, thereby, supplying the required quantity of water into the system. The coverage area of the sprinkler bulb is designed as per the hazard category of fire specified in NFPA, and regulation provided by the Indian National Building Code of India. |

| Overview |
|
|
The water discharged from the sprinkler is distributed by the deflector over the location of the fire. The area protected by each sprinkler is determined by the hazard and can vary from 9m2 to 21m2. The selection of the deflector is based upon the specific application, its upright or pendent position within the sprinkler distribution pipework and its spray pattern. |
|
|
| Sprinklers are manufactured with three different connection sizes (10, 15 and 20mm) which have different water outputs (57, 80 and 115litres/minute respectively) at a flow pressure of 1 bar. The sprinkler bulb is designed to operate at a predetermined temperature. A range of operating temperature ratings is available from between 57 – 182 degrees Centigrade. |
|
|
|
| |
| |
| Conventional sprinklers |
|
|
| These can be mounted in either the upright or the pendent position and the deflector is designed to spray a proportion of the water discharge on to the surface of the ceilings. |
|
|
|
| |
| |
| Pendent spray sprinklers |
|
Spray sprinklers are used for applications where all the water needs to be discharged downwards. |

| Sidewall sprinklers |

These are primarily used to keep ceilings clear of pipework for aesthetic reasons or to avoid having to disturb existing ceilings when installing pipework. Each sprinkler protects up to 17m2 in light hazards and 9m2 in ordinary hazards. |

| Horizontal sidewall sprinklers with extended coverage |
|
These are specifically designed to give an extended coverage of water distribution. This type of sprinkler must have a fast response bulb. One sprinkler can protect an area of up to 21m2. |
| |
| Fast response sprinklers for life safety |
|
In a fire, few deaths result from direct contact with flames. The greatest threat comes from inhalation of the products of combustion such as carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, hydrogen cyanide, hydrogen chloride and other toxic gases, and the heat of the gases.
The response time of a fast response sprinkler ensures that the life threatening level of toxic gases and temperature are never reached. There are people who cannot escape by their own efforts, such as in hospitals or homes for the aged, and sprinklers provide valuable time for those in charge to assist their escape. |
